Clipper® Hooks
Since its inception, the Clipper® Wire Hook System has earned a reputation for continued innovation and proven performance. Clipper wire hooks have been designed with a variety of different wire diameters, leg and point lengths, metals, strip lengths and styles, such as Unibar® and carded. All are readily available to meet your individual application needs.
The double-staggered grip pattern gives wire hooks exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity of the belt carcass. Today’s splices also have a very low profile, making them increasingly more compatible with conveyor components and compliant with the need for reduced operating noise.
Typical industries for wire fasteners include:
- Package and parts handling
- General manufacturing
- Commercial laundry
- Food Processing
- Agriculture
- Filter media
Fastener Overview
Unibar® Fasteners
Unibar® fasteners are formed by welding each Clipper® hook to a common bar.
• Welded bar creates a stable strip of fasteners to eliminate damage during handling.
• Patented Safety Strip covers the hook points to protect fingertips, yet is easily removed prior to lacing.
• Hook legs are held parallel to simplify “meshing” of belt ends and the insertion of connecting pins.
• The risk of a single hook disengaging is significantly reduced, particularly important in the food industry.
• The welded bar creates a flat, finished splice so belt “wave” is eliminated.
• Under abusive applications, Unibar spreads shock loads to protect individual hooks.
Unibar fasteners can be easily cut to the appropriate length, or
ordered in special lengths up to 60″ (1500 mm). They are not
recommended for bias splices, troughed belts where common bar
breakage is a concern, and where special metals are required.
Carded Hooks
Individual Clipper hooks are
secured on carding paper.
• Works with any application,
including bias splices and troughed
belt applications.
Available in a wide variety of metals and sizes.
36 Series Fasteners
Designed for mono/multifilament
conveyor belting and filter media up to 5/32″ (4 mm) thick, and over pulleys as small as 15/16″ (24 mm). Specially shaped wire is .036″ (.9 mm) wide and .027″ (.7 mm) high, with rounded sides and a flat top and bottom. Available in both Unibar® and carded hook styles.
• High width-to-height ratio gives 36 Series fasteners increased mass and strength.
• Low profile reduces abrasion, wear, and noise. 36 Series fasteners are easy to handle and lace. They can be applied with all Clipper® lacers, including the Roller Lacer®, for easy on-site installation.
Maintenance Lacers
Roller Lacer® Gold Class™
A key advantage of the wire hook system is that the fasteners are machine-installed, yielding a precise, strong and smooth splice. Clipper® offers several different lacers to match a variety of on-site, production or special application lacing needs. All lacers are designed with durability and speed-of-installation features built into them.
A power-assisted lacer designed to reduce
installation time and operator fatigue.
Available in four widths: 24”, 36”, 48”, and 60”
(600, 900, 1200, 1500 mm). Ideal for larger
operations with wide belts. Unmatched speed
and ease of use.
- Lacer is driven by a user’s cordless drill (18 volt or higher), reducing installation time by 35%. A manual drive handle is supplied for use if the drill has lost its charge.
- Belt Support Shelf easily guides belt into the hook points, reducing operator time and effort.
- Handle-actuated belt clamp system.
- Sturdy aluminum construction for on-site installation.
- Storage compartment for extra face strips and lacer pins.
- Continuous lacing feature for lacing belts wider than the tool’s width.
Roller Lacer®
Available in four widths: 24”, 36”, 48”, and 60” (600, 900, 1200, 1500 mm). Ideal for users with wide belts requiring on-site installation.
- Handle-actuated belt clamp system
- Sturdy aluminum construction for on-site installation
- Storage compartment for extra face strips and lacer pins
- Continuous lacing feature for lacing belts wider than the tool’s width
