As International Mining’s October focus article on conveyors approaches its editorial deadline, Flexco has announced the release of the Pneumatic Single Rivet Driver. Designed for use with Flexco SR^TM fasteners and installation bases, this “speeds installation by up to 33%.” the company says. The driver features a dual handle for balance and ergonomic gripping, a heavy-duty drive rod for high-quality splices, and pneumatic driving power for a robust installation. A single trigger pull per rivet saves both time and reduces worker fatigue.

Collated rivets with washers and a specially-designed steel guide block assure that each trigger pull contributes to a consistent splice.

“The pneumatic single rivet driver really takes the guesswork out of rivet driving to give users a uniform, long-lasting splice every time,” Patrick Mukushina, Product Manager at Flexco, said. “The tool allows for more compression of the fastener plates, which results in a smooth and consistent splice that is compatible with conveyor components.”

The air-powered, heavy-duty tool is built to last in even the most abrasive conditions and is protected by a portable carrying case that also makes it easy to transport.
