Anker connection system

Wire hooks

For use in conveyor belts used with low loads.

ANKER connection systems are a response to the requirements posed by the diverse constructions of tapes and materials from which they are made, as well as the variety of applied coatings in combination with a wide spectrum of tape widths and thicknesses.

Optimal shape of Anker connections

Each type, and in each type also the single connection, is specifically designed to meet the highest demands. The key features of the optimized geometry are:

connection shape,
thickness of the material used,
jump,
the length of the connection legs (short and long),
the ratio of the number of different types of legs,
hook length,
mounting angle,
hole diameter for mounting wire.

Double rolled wire and horizontally cut tips

The double rolling of the wire used in ANKER joints provides increased gripping ability and lateral stability combined with a very flat and even joint area.

The particularly complex production process of the horizontally cut tips ensures perfect anchoring of the connection in the belt. Whereas classically cut points tend to bend sideways, horizontally cut points are specially designed so that the points of the hooks bend perfectly parallel to the edge of the tape.

4-level tip arrangement (G series)

The design of the tips arranged in four levels has been patented worldwide. This solution increases the tear and fracture strength of the extremely flat and abrasion-resistant G-series joints by 50%.

Wire hooks bonded with paper

Designed for use with a wide range of tapes and a wide range of thicknesses up to 10mm.

Single hooks are attached in six points to the paper, which can be easily and quickly cut to the width of the joint.

The paper is used to separate the elements during transport and assembly, then it helps when installing the hooks. It is removed after the connection is installed on the tape.

Hook types

Connected hooks

It is a connection made of hooks joined with a transverse wire.

Used successfully for over 50 years in conveyor and conveyor belts.

The cross wire stabilizes the connection and prevents loosening of individual hooks.

Specially designed for belts used in agriculture, food industry and logistics.
