Conveyor belts ensure rational material flow and efficient work processes in industry, logistics and agriculture.
The environment in which conveyor belts operate are seldom identical. Differing belt constructions, belt materials and covers, along with a multitude of belt widths and thicknesses define the high demands on reliability of mechanical belt splices.
The ANKER belt fastening system provides the response to these challenges.
It consists of three major components
- ANKER Belt Fasteners
- ANKER Hinge Material and
- ANKER Belt Lacers.
All components are carefully adapted to suit each other within one system. Decades of intensive development work in co-operation with belt manufacturers, distributors and users have led to products which define today’s state-of-the-art technological standards.

We are sure that within the wide range of ANKER belt fasteners you will find a fastener that can be installed quickly and easily and is inexpensive. Belt fasteners simplify conveyor maintenance, reduce downtime and increase productivity. Sophisticated fastener geometry for highest performance levels
The ANKER belt fastener system offers four fastener series:
- Wire hooks – carded
- Wire hooks – welded
- Belt lacing – from strip steel
- Plastic spirals and spiral lace.
Each series – and within each series every single fastener – is specifically designed to comply with the demands of the user. Optimised fastener geometry encompasses the following key values: fastener shape and material thickness, pitch, leg length of the short and long leg of the fastener, the ratio of the legs to each other, point length, aperture and insertion angle. The point length determines the belt thickness range in which a fastener can be used. The length of the legs determines the size of the smallest pulley in a conveyor system that can handle the fastener without problem.
Horizontally-cut points and double-flattened wire (series 25, 30, 35, 40)

The particularly complex manufacturing process of the horizontally-cut points is especially important for thin belts. While standard cut points are bent sidewards this special design ensures that the hook points are bent accurately down towards the belt edge after penetrating the belt. This ”ANKERs“ these fasteners into the belt. As early as 1967, we offered the first hooks with double-flattened wire having three main advantages. Increased holding ability and transverse stability of the individual hooks combined with a flatter and more even splice area. The result: belts with ANKER fasteners can be closed easily and rapidly – like a zipper.
Up to four alternating point levels (G series)

The design to have fastener points in four levels was developed by us in 1995 and has been patented internationally since then. This development has increased the burst strength of G series fasteners by over 50% when using these particularly flat and abrasion-resistant fasteners
