Sidewall Conveyor Belt Manufacturer

Q: What industries use sidewall conveyor belts?

hey are widely used in mining, cement plants, ports, metallurgy, power plants, and bulk material handling systems .

High-Efficiency Solution for Steep Angle Material Conveying.

Sidewall Conveyor Belts are specially designed for steep angle and vertical conveying systems. Equipped with corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats, these belts prevent materials from spilling or sliding back during transportation.

Compared with traditional flat conveyor belts, sidewall belts provide a high-capacity, space-saving conveying solution, allowing materials to be transported at steep inclines or even vertically.

What is Sidewall Conveyor Belts?

A sidewall conveyor belt is a specially designed conveyor belt system that includes corrugated sidewalls and cleats attached to the base belt. This structure creates compartments that hold materials securely during transport.

The main components include:

Base conveyor belt
Corrugated sidewalls
Transverse cleats

This design allows materials to be transported efficiently even at very steep angles up to 90°.

Steep Angle Conveying

Sidewall conveyor belts allow materials to be transported at angles up to 90°, enabling vertical conveying.

Large Carrying Capacity

The cleats and sidewalls create pockets that increase material capacity and efficiency.

Space Saving System

Sidewall conveyors require less installation space compared to traditional inclined conveyors.

High Strength and Durability

Reinforced base belts and strong bonding technology ensure long service life.

Excellent Flexibility

The corrugated sidewalls allow smooth operation around pulleys and return rollers.

Reduced Material Spillage

The enclosed structure prevents materials from spilling during transport.

Structure of Sidewall Conveyor Belt

Base Belt

The base belt provides the main tensile strength and structural support of the conveyor belt. It is typically reinforced with:

EP fabric (polyester/nylon)
Steel cord reinforcement for heavy-duty applications

Corrugated Sidewalls

Designed with a corrugated structure, allowing the belt to bend around pulleys without damage.

Cleats

Cleats are installed across the belt surface to help carry materials upward along steep inclines. They act as support barriers, preventing bulk materials from sliding back.
