MATO conveyor belt lacing and lubrication engineering in heavy industry
MATO GmbH & Co. KG is a premier German engineering manufacturer with over a century of leadership in conveyor belt mechanical fastening, belt cleaning systems, and high-pressure lubrication technology.
MATO systems operate in underground mining, hard-rock quarries, cement plants, steel mills, and agricultural bulk handling facilities worldwide.
Mechanical splicing technology enables rapid on-site conveyor belt jointing and damage repair without the costly delays and complex apparatus required for hot vulcanization.
The portfolio comprises ultra-high-tensile fasteners, belt installation vices, primary and secondary scrapers, and precision lubrication dispensing tools.
By replacing extended thermal vulcanization with high-integrity mechanical lacing, industrial plants significantly curtail operational downtime and maintain steady throughput across bulk handling systems.
Heavy-duty belt lacing systems: U30, E30 and H30 series engineering
Engineered for overland and main trunk haulage belts, MATO heavy-duty systems deliver reliable joint integrity under extreme tensile loads.
The U30 safety system provides mechanical splices for belt ratings up to 3500 kN/m using precision installation vices, while the H30 hammer system installs rapidly with pre-set staples.
The E30 eco series provides an economic hinged splice solution for processing circuits requiring frequent belt shortenings. All splices utilize notched spring steel or stainless steel connecting pins protected by an armored nylon coating that resists abrasive wear.
Carefully calibrated staple penetration secures belt plies without severing load-bearing longitudinal warp cords, safeguarding the belt’s ultimate tensile strength across years of demanding service.
Advanced belt cleaning systems: primary and secondary scraper solutions
Conveyor carryback causes severe roller build-up, belt mistracking, and costly material spillage. MATO MDP series primary belt cleaners mount directly against the head pulley face, shearing off the bulk of adhering slurry and clay with formulated polyurethane blade segments.
Secondary cleaners of the MUS and MCS series feature spring-cushioned tungsten carbide tips for fine residual wiping across the flat belt return run. Pneumatic Air Bag Mount assemblies provide automatic tension compensation to maintain constant contact pressure as scraper blades wear.
Segmented blade designs permit individual blade deflection over mechanical belt splices, eliminating shock impact and substantially extending both splice and cleaner longevity.
Medium-duty repair plates and U20/H20 agricultural baler fasteners
For emergency intervention on longitudinal conveyor belt rips, MATO MS bolt plate fasteners and screw repair systems restore belt structural unity. High-torque mechanical clamping delivers a vice-like grip that seals puncture seams until scheduled plant turnaround.
In agricultural harvesting, the U20 vice-installed and H20 hammer-installed splices are tailored for belts 4 to 7 mm thick on round hay balers. The ultra-low mechanical profile wraps smoothly around small-diameter guide pulleys without impact shocks.
Beveled plate profiles and recessed rivet pockets safeguard rubber covers while preventing splice snagging on internal machinery guides during high-speed round baling.
Lube-Shuttle clean cartridge technology and high-pressure fluid dispensing
The patented Lube-Shuttle® system revolutionizes industrial greasing for bearing housings and heavy gearboxes. Screw-in cartridges load cleanly without opening the gun barrel, eliminating trapped air bubbles, grease leakage, and abrasive dust contamination.
MATO supplies manual lever grease guns, one-hand pistol units, cordless battery models, and pneumatic pump packages operating up to 800 bar. The fluid program is supported by precision DIN grease nipples, quick-release couplers, and automatic spring-rewind hose reels.
Complete evacuation of the rigid plastic cartridge prevents lubricant wastage, ensuring cost savings and clean environmental handling across demanding workshops and mobile machinery fleets.
Technical component specification and global project supply
We configure MATO mechanical belt splices, tensioning clamps, rotary cutters, and belt cleaners to exact conveyor parameters: belt thickness, tensile rating, pulley diameter, and material characteristics. Lubrication systems are selected according to bearing requirements and dispensing pressure.
All commercial proposals include clear pricing, technical datasheets, export packing, and swift logistics to customer facilities worldwide. Verified engineering data guarantees reliable fitment and maximum operational life in the field.
Every order is backed by full technical documentation, certificates of compliance, and factory-specified accessories, ensuring trouble-free installation and dependable plant performance.
