In order to prevent material which is being conveyed on a conveyor belt from falling off of the side of the conveyor belt, use is made of skirts positioned adjacent to the edges of the conveyer belt. The Econo Skirt Clamp has been designed to address the problems associated with conventional skirt clamps. Not only is the Econo Skirt Clamp at least 50% more cost effective, but it also saves time on initial installation and on-going maintenance. Advantages 1) Clamps are galvanised to resist corrosion 2) Cost effective in that: a) no manpower is used to re-open treads after being galvanised b) should a skirt rubber need replacement, the clamp is simply removed by knocking the clamp out with a hammer. The rubber is refitted,using the same clamps. c) maintenance time is cut in half d) the cost of the actual clamp is at least 50% more cost effective than the conventional method GUARANTEED e) No loosening of nuts and refitting f) No thread damages
