Conveyor belt with sidewalls and cleats
Sidewalls and cleats divide the carrying surface into pockets for the material being conveyed. The blue belt shown combines corrugated sidewalls with transverse cleats. Specify the base belt, pocket dimensions and conveyor arrangement together when requesting a replacement or custom assembly.

Base-belt construction and operating conditions
The PVC base-belt range includes thicknesses of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm, with colours and surface patterns selected for the application. Choose the finished construction together with the sidewalls, cleats and joint.
Specify the conveyed material, incline, loading conditions, belt speed and cleaning method. Include the pulley diameters and return-side supports so the sidewalls, cleats and joint can be selected as one assembly. State the operating temperature and any exposure to oils or chemicals when requesting the belt.
Joint and guiding options
A single-layer finger joint uses fingers cut into the ends and joined under heat and pressure. An overlapped finger joint uses a stepped, layered joint arrangement. Select the joint for the actual belt construction and installation; include any requirement for an openable mechanical fastener.
Guide bars can be positioned on the underside to suit the conveyor. Show their profile, location and matching pulley or support grooves on the drawing.
