Abstract
The article focuses on conveyor belts, considered as the lifeline for effective, profitable production. The goals of effective belt-conveyor maintenance include the prevention of surprise belt failures and keeping maintenance downtime to a minimum. It states that component selection requires a thorough knowledge of the composition of fasteners, the cleaners and the belt itself. It is inferred that proper cleaner/fastener interface requires receiving and dissipating kinetic energy without damaging the splice or the cleaner.
