Fast, Reliable Conveyor Belt Lacing — Backed by Over 300+ Years of Belting Expertise

For operations that depend on uptime, reliable belt lacing is essential. Vaughn Belting delivers precision-installed mechanical fasteners that get your conveyor running quickly, safely, and efficiently. With almost 100 years in business (founded in 1928) and a team whose combined belting expertise exceeds 300 years, we are one of the most trusted names in conveyor belt fabrication in the Southeast and beyond.

We support customers across food processing, manufacturing, packaging, recycling, distribution, printing, and more — including brands like Nestlé, Georgia-Pacific, Sonoco, Wal-Mart, Adidas, Dollar General, and many others.

Whether you need a new laced belt or an emergency on-site repair, Vaughn Belting provides dependable solutions that reduce downtime and keep your operation moving.

Mechanical Belt Lacing Solutions for Every Application

We offer a full range of mechanical belt fasteners, including:

  • Alligator® fasteners — ideal for light- to medium-duty belts
  • Clipper® wire hooks — metal or plastic options for precise, flexible joints
  • Plastic fasteners for applications where metal cannot contact the product

These lacing solutions are installed using more than $100,000 in advanced pneumatic, automatic, and hydraulic tooling, ensuring consistent results, proper penetration, and long-lasting performance.

Our technicians use sizing charts and application-specific criteria to determine the correct fastener for your belt based on:

  • Belt construction
  • Load and tension requirements
  • Temperature and environmental conditions
  • Food-grade or safety considerations

This ensures the lacing is precisely matched to your conveyor’s operating demands.

Why Companies Choose Laced Belts

Customers rely on mechanical lacing for several practical and operational advantages:

✔ Faster installation

Laced belts can be installed quickly, making them ideal when downtime carries a high cost.

✔ Easy belt removal & maintenance

Fasteners provide a convenient way to replace or clean belts without dismantling equipment.

✔ Ideal for field repairs

If a belt tears or fails unexpectedly, mechanical lacing gets you running again in the shortest possible time.

✔ Safer, application-driven solutions

We help customers choose between laced and endless belts based on food safety, worker safety, equipment design, and the required handling characteristics.

Our goal is simple: recommend the right solution for your specific application, not just a generic option.
