Don’t just clip It, ZIP CLIP® It.

ZIP CLIP® Is a ready-to-fit replacement belt from the Giants of Belting. Focused on maximizing machine uptime and reducing expensive vulcanizing bills, Smiley Monroe designed ZIP CLIP®—a mechanically fastened replacement belt that’s just as good as the original endless belt.

Supplied ready-to-fit, ZIP CLIP can be safely self-installed in under one hour with no specialist training. Once tensioned, it can be run Immediately. No vulcanizing, no waiting, no DIY fasteners. Instead, a replacement belt that’s as simple as changing a tire on your car.

Safer, cheaper, and faster than vulcanizing on-site, ZIP CLIP’s mechanical joint can be fitted under any environmental conditions. Unlike traditional DIY fastener options, ZIP CLIP’s factory-prepared joint has even tension across the belt, reducing the risk of the belt tearing, and is proven to have the same or greater tensile strength than the belt itself.

Rather than being a temporary replacement, ZIP CLIP belts can be fitted and run for the long term, with many choosing the ZIP CLIP system as their primary conveyor belt option.

ZIP CLIP belts are being used across a range of industries, from static recycling plants to mobile crushing and screening applications.

Other products to reduce downtime

ZIP CLIP® Replacement Conveyor Belts offer safe and speedy installation from the ground. You can fit ZIP CLIP® from the ground without scissor lifts—even in tight spaces or on elevated conveyors like those in recycling plants. For mobile plants, where the conveyor cassette usually has to be removed for vulcanizing, ZIP CLIP® lets you fit the belt with the conveyor intact—saving time and improving site safety.

ZIP CLIP® is a fast-fit solution for on-site teams. It enables maintenance crews to carry out replacements with minimal equipment and no external contractors—ideal for remote locations and urgent repairs.

By extending the lifespan of your conveyor system and reducing the need for frequent belt replacements or equipment downtime, ZIP CLIP® also supports your sustainability targets—helping to cut waste, lower emissions, and reduce energy consumption.

“The quality of products we receive from Smiley Monroe is excellent. The opportunity to have after-sales and spare parts like ZIP CLIP© readily available has helped us support our customers and go from strength to strength.”

Stephen Conway

Edge Innovate, Territory Sales Manager

“We keep ZIP CLIP belts in stock because it minimizes our downtime. Smiley Monroe came out and did a survey of our plant and measured all the belts. All our conveyors have belt numbers on them, so if we have a belt that breaks, we take one out of our own stock, we fit it, we ring Smiley Monroe, give them the belt number, and they make us a new one.”

Mark McIvor

RiverRidge, Operations Manager

“With ZIP CLIP®, the clips are already fitted to the joint, so it's ready to go; we just pull the old belt off and fit the ZIP CLIP®. It's much safer, too, as we don't need to take the conveyor out of the machine, so it eliminates a lot of the safety concerns we had with other methods. We like to keep a ZIP CLIP® belt in stock for our most critical conveyors, giving us peace of mind that should anything happen, we can act quickly.”
