SUPER-SCREW®

What is it ?
Super-Screw® : splice and patch

MLT has developed the SUPER-SCREW®. It is The Super-Screw® significantly reduces

a flexible rubber splice to screw on to the belt.
MLT specific screws are self-drilling and
self-tapping (they spread the carcass threads
without cutting them).
The screwing system allows Super-Screw®
to be installed regardless of the :
- Configuration of the conveyor belt,
- Access conditions,
- Weather conditions.
downtime. It can bear service tensions up to
200 N/mm (belt breaking strength up to 2 000
N/mm).
It is available in different qualities of rubber
(see below).
Simple and practical, the Super-Screw® is
versatile !

Super-Screw® : how to choose ?

For selecting the right Super-Screw® fastener you have to analyse
following points :
- The belt tension and the strength of the belt (i.e. EP1000 for 1000 N/mm).
- The final belt thickness for the right choice of the screw size (the rubber on

 ASSEMBLY OF
SUPER-SCREW®FROM COILS

Ensure to wear adequate PPE

The coils are delivered identified.

The remaining length is indicated every meter. Figure 2

Figure 1
1. Unroll the coils side by side, in the same direc-
tion and, for each, measure the length required.

2. Align the top and bottom (refer to Figure 1 For Super-Screw® 35 to 105
to align the two parts).
NOTE : You may notice a small gap due to the
elasticity of materials.

3. Cut the coils using the MLT cutting press for

easiness and quality of the cut, or another
cutting tool. The remaining length is indicated
every meter.
NOTE : MLT manufactures adapted punches.

4. Set the spacers on the internal face of the For Super-Screw® 125 to 200
bottom part of the Super-Screw. First, place the
spacer in the first 2 holes of each part, then,
every 3 holes. Figure 2

5. Place the top face of the bottom part (the

internal face against each other). Figure 1
- WARNING - there is an installation direction :
check that the holes on top do correspond with
those below. If the two parties are well positio-
ned, the light passes through each hole.

6. Screw the spacers on, starting with the first

2 from each end.

Practical tips

How to recognize the quality of the Super Screw® rubber?

There is a seal on the top part of the Super-Screw ® which indicates the quality of the rubber.
i.e : abrasion resistant
How to differentiate the top part from the bottom part? seal

 HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SUPER-SCREW® ?
Equipment requested
W A R N I N G - a Super-Screw® appropriate and assembled (see p 6 )
- a MLT PZ bit
- SKIVE OR GRIND THE BELT TO INBED THE SUPER-SCREW® SPLICE
AND AVOID SOME OVERTHICKNESS - a ruler
- DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH TOOL - a marking pen
- SLIDE UNDERNEATH THE SUPER-SCREW® A THICK WOOD BOARD - a cutter
- DO NOT SCREW ON A DRUM - a powerful electric drill or 18V or 24 V battery
- TAKE APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR : PPE - the quantity of screws needed (see p 5)
- the MLT skiver
Areas already screwed are shown in grey

- Measure the thickness of the carcass
or the belt to choose the correct screw
length and the right kind of Super-
Screw®. For a better passage over the
rollers and the scrapers, provide a bias
installation (see page 2).
Cut your belt with a 1/3 bias
(or 10% min of the width of
the belt). The other side of
the belt should be cut with
a bias in the opposite direc-
tion.
Skive down both top and bot-
tom belt rubber covers with the
MLT skiver (check the skived rea-
chback length into the belt on
page 4 chart)
Chamfer the end of the belt
top and bottom as shown.
Position Super-Screw® against
the belt, ensuring that Super-
Screw® is resting against the
central spacers.

Start screwing by the center, continue by one end, then the
other end without twisting Super-Screw®. Keep screwing
until the screw catches the underneath thread, and avoid
as this stage to compress strongly the belt. NOTE : Screw on
a flat and hard thick wooden board.

 SUPER-SCREW® : Good / Bad

Well done Forbidden

On chevron belts, Super-
Screw® has to be installed
in « V » or in bias to avoid a
violent contact between the
return roller” and SS.

Both ends of the belt must be

in contact against each other.

It’s important to install

Super-Screw® in bias (at least
10% of the belt width) to
obtain optimal performance.

Using too long Super-

Screw® screws :
- makes the transition from
the junction noisy
- results in the inserts lifting
up the screws and possibly
tearing off the belt carcass

It is necessary to inbed the

Super-Screw® into the belt
by skiving off the top and
bottom rubber covers of the
belt.

To avoid to pull off the in-

serts and ease up the pas-
sage of the screws through
the chimneys, the installa-
tion of Super-Screw® must
be done on a flat and hard
thick wooden board.
