Iklumet

Iklumet

Iklumet is a unique solution for joining PVC/PU tapes with a thickness of 1.4-5.2 mm operating under relatively light loads, developed and patented by MLT Minet Lacing Technology SA. The solution consists in sticking a patch connected with a polyacetal stick into the tape. Removing the rod allows the belt to be disassembled for cleaning, repair, maintenance, etc.

The most important features and advantages of connections with Iklumet :

  • a vulcanizing press or ultrasonic welding machine is needed for installation;
  • the connection point remains flexible and pliable, which makes Iklumet a suitable solution for joining trough belts;
  • a properly selected and correctly installed batten does not thicken the tape profile;
  • ease of disassembly and subsequent reconnection of the tape for handling, cleaning, transport;
  • the possibility of making the rod from stainless steel, which guarantees the highest holding force, or from polyacetal – compatible with magnetic conveyors or metal detectors, or in situations where the action of magnetic fields or contact of the product with metal is highly undesirable;
  • the connection point remains tight, resistant to dust, liquids, greases, oils, fats;
  • connections are available in various colors;
  • available version made of white PVC with FDA approval – for tapes in contact with unpackaged food.

Iklumet is delivered in one-metre lengths with a polyacetal rod. It is possible to purchase a separate rod made of polyacetal (section 10,000 mm) or stainless steel (section of any length up to and including 3,000 mm). The manufacturer recommends the use of a steel rod for narrow belts and belts (<200 mm wide).
