Copper Rivet CR-AMS Complete Splice Kit is a stainless fastener and copper rivet belt splicing kit for a 32-inch (800mm) belt width. The kit contains matched fastener strips, solid copper rivets, copper burrs (washers), and installation instructions for a permanent clinched mechanical splice. CR-AMS is MATO's stainless-specific copper rivet kit for wash-down and corrosive environments where full stainless fastener construction is required.

What is in the package:

• Matched fastener strips (stainless steel) sized for 32" (800mm) belt
• Solid copper rivets (corrosion-resistant, non-sparking)
• Copper burrs (washers) for distributing clinching load
• Installation instructions

Required installation hardware NOT included: rivet setter or punch, hammer, backing anvil, belt cutter or square. Sold separately.

Why copper: Copper is naturally corrosion-resistant, clinches cleanly on fabric and rubber carcasses without cracking, and is non-sparking. This makes it the traditional and current choice for grain elevators, flour mills, and environments where ferrous sparks are unacceptable near dry crops or combustible dust. Copper burrs distribute clinching load across the belt surface, maintaining grip even on soft or worn belt covers.

Material combination: 316 stainless steel fastener strips paired with solid copper rivets and copper burrs. Stainless fastener with copper rivets combines corrosion resistance with non-sparking behavior for the most demanding wash-down and dust-hazard applications.

Applications: Used in food processing wash-down lines with non-ferrous-only specifications, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing with dust-hazard requirements, and marine or coastal installations. Not recommended for heavy mining, quarry, cement, or high-PIW conveyors where Plategrip or Riv-Nail is the correct choice.

Installation: Requires a rivet setter or punch, hammer, backing anvil, belt cutter or square, and optionally a rivet-setting press. Skill level is moderate. Technicians match rivet length to combined belt thickness plus burr, maintain consistent hole spacing, and avoid over-peening that would crack the burr or deform the belt.
