Cleated conveyor belts replacements

Cleated belts suit conveyor applications where a smooth belt can't maintain reliable material control:

• Incline conveying of bulk materials

• Infeed applications where rollback would cause bridging or overloading

• Wherever loose or irregular material would migrate laterally or slip backward under load

We supply cleated belts for slider bed, trough idler, flat idler, trough slider bed, and roller chain conveyors.

Common industries

• Recycling

• Waste management

• Mining and quarrying

• Foundries and steel

• Aggregates

• Cement production

• Food processing

• Construction and demolition

The primary selection variables are profile, height, and spacing.

• Chevron cleats form enclosed pockets that retain bulk material and resist lateral movement.

• Herringbone cleats share the same v-geometry but leave the top open, releasing material more cleanly at discharge. They are the right choice for wet or sticky materials prone to carryback.

• Plain, flat cleats create consistent cross-belt partitions for metering applications. They are standard on tumble-back conveyors, where cleat spacing self-regulates feed rate without external controls.

• I-cleats and beefy cleats distribute high normal forces across more rubber, reducing deformation under heavy aggregate, scrap metal, and dense recyclables.

• Scoop cleats are specified in mining and aggregate applications where the cleat needs to penetrate loose material on loading.

Cleat height scales with incline angle and material size: 1"–2" for granular and light-bulk applications, 4"–8" for steep inclines and large aggregate. Taller cleats require adequate return path clearance and are not compatible with conveyors that have tight return geometry.
