Cleated and Sidewall Conveyor Belt

Factory Price Cleated and Sidewall Conveyor Belt for Efficient Bulk Material Handling

YUFENG Cleated and Sidewall Conveyor Belt, also known as corrugated sidewall conveyor belt or steep-angle conveyor belt, is designed for conveying bulk materials where conventional flat belts cannot provide sufficient lifting height or prevent material rollback. The belt consists of a base belt, corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats, which are integrated through hot vulcanization.

YUFENG provides EP fabric and steel cord reinforced structures for different conveying distances, material weights and installation layouts. The available designs support horizontal, inclined and vertical conveying, making them suitable for mining, cement, aggregate, grain, chemical and other bulk material handling applications.

EP Fabric and Steel Cord Sidewall Belt Classification

EP Fabric Sidewall Conveyor Belt

The EP fabric carcass provides good flexibility, low elongation and stable tensile performance. It is suitable for medium-load conveying systems with relatively short or moderate conveying distances, including cement plants, grain processing facilities and aggregate production lines.

Steel Cord Sidewall Conveyor Belt

The steel cord carcass provides higher tensile strength and lower permanent elongation than fabric structures. It is designed for heavy-duty applications requiring greater conveying distance, lifting height and material capacity, particularly in mining and large-scale bulk material handling systems.

Belt Type Core Characteristic Applicable Working Condition
EP Fabric Sidewall Belt Flexible, low elongation, cost-effective Medium-short distance and medium-load conveying
Steel Cord Sidewall Belt High tensile strength, ultra-low stretch Long-distance and heavy-duty conveying

The appropriate carcass should be selected according to lifting height, belt length, material density, hourly capacity and maximum conveying angle.

Sidewall Height, Cleat Type and Size Options

Sidewall Height

YUFENG supplies corrugated sidewalls in heights from 40 mm to 500 mm, allowing the belt structure to be matched with different material volumes and conveying capacities.

Cleat Configuration

T, C and TC cleat configurations are available. Cleat height can be customized from 20 mm to 460 mm, with spacing adjusted according to material characteristics and conveying angle.

Belt Width and Carcass Grade

Available Cleated and Sidewall Conveyor Belt widths range from 300 mm to 2000 mm, with EP100–EP1000 fabric carcasses and ST630–ST2000 steel cord carcasses available for different load requirements.

Functional Sidewall Conveyor Belt Types

General Wear Resistant Sidewall Belt

The standard wear-resistant rubber compound is suitable for conventional bulk materials such as sand, aggregate, coal and cement raw materials. The normal operating temperature range is approximately -20°C to +60°C.

Flame Retardant Anti-Static Sidewall Belt

This structure combines flame-retardant and conductive properties for underground conveying environments where fire and static electricity are major safety concerns. Applicable models can be manufactured according to MT/T668 requirements.

High Temperature Resistant Sidewall Belt

EPDM-based heat-resistant rubber is used for conveying hot materials such as cement clinker and metallurgical slag. Suitable formulations can support material temperatures up to approximately 180°C, depending on the actual operating conditions.

Oil Resistant Sidewall Belt

NBR-based cover rubber provides resistance to mineral oils, lubricants and certain chemical media, reducing rubber swelling and cracking in oil-contaminated working environments.

Low Temperature Resistant Sidewall Belt

A cold-flexible rubber compound maintains flexibility in low-temperature applications and can be configured for outdoor conveying environments down to approximately -40°C, depending on the specific formulation.

Food Grade Sidewall Belt

Food-contact applications can use suitable non-toxic and easy-clean materials for grain, fruit, vegetable and food-processing conveying equipment. The exact material and certification should be selected according to the destination market and application requirements.

Wear-resistant, flame-retardant, high-temperature, oil-resistant and low-temperature rubber formulations can be configured for different operating environments.

Reinforcement Structure

Transverse reinforcement can be added to improve base-belt support during the return stroke, while additional transverse steel wire reinforcement can be configured for high-impact material loading.

Fixed-Length Processing

YUFENG supports fixed-length cutting and customized dimensions for compact conveying equipment and project-specific installations.

Customization options

Integrated Vulcanization and Belt Performance

One-Piece Hot Vulcanization

The sidewalls, cleats and base belt are integrated through high-temperature vulcanization rather than relying only on surface adhesive bonding. This helps maintain structural integrity during repeated bending and pulley operation.

Vertical and Steep-Angle Conveying

The corrugated sidewalls contain material laterally while the cleats provide transverse support. Depending on the system configuration and material characteristics, the belt can be used for steep-angle and vertical conveying applications.

Reduced Material Rollback

The combination of sidewalls and cleats forms individual material pockets, helping reduce material sliding and spillage on steep conveying sections.

Flexible Conveyor Layout

Sidewall conveyor systems can be configured for horizontal-to-inclined, Z-type and S-type layouts, potentially reducing the need for intermediate transfer points.

Carcass Selection for Different Loads

EP structures are generally suitable for medium-load applications, while steel cord structures provide higher tensile strength for heavy-duty and longer conveying systems.

Raw Materials and Manufacturing Control

Base Carcass

High-tenacity EP fabric and high-strength galvanized steel cord are selected according to the required tensile grade.

Sidewall and Cleat Rubber

Flexible rubber compounds with good bending fatigue resistance are used for sidewalls and cleats to withstand repeated movement around pulleys.

Cover and Bonding Rubber

Virgin natural rubber or functional synthetic rubber such as NBR and EPDM can be selected according to wear, oil and temperature requirements.

Reinforcing Components

Transverse rigid reinforcement and anti-tear steel wire structures can be incorporated into special designs where additional support or impact resistance is required.

Each batch of fabric, steel cord and rubber materials is subject to tensile, bending and adhesion-related inspection before entering production.

Manufacturing control

Installation, Splicing and Maintenance

Hot Vulcanization Splicing

For permanent connections, the base belt is prepared in stepped layers while the sidewall and cleat positions are accurately aligned. Matching bonding rubber is then placed between the belt layers before vulcanization under controlled temperature and pressure.

Cold Bonding Repair

Cold adhesive repair can be used for localized surface damage or emergency maintenance. It is not recommended as the primary load-bearing joint for long-term heavy-duty operation.

Conveyor Layout Requirements

Sidewall-specific return idlers should be used to support the belt during the return stroke. PU impact idlers should be installed near loading points where large materials may create concentrated impact.

Belt Alignment

Self-aligning idlers can be installed at appropriate intervals on long conveying lines to reduce belt deviation and maintain stable operation.

Packing and Storage

Medium and Small Width Belts

Belts between approximately 300–1000 mm wide can be secured with dedicated metal-frame supports to protect the corrugated sidewalls during transportation.

Large Width Steel Cord Belts

Heavy sidewall belts from approximately 1200–2000 mm wide can be secured with reinforced steel strapping and wooden pallets for container shipment.

Cut Belt Sections

Short customized sections are separately protected with foam or other cushioning materials to reduce cleat and sidewall collision during transportation.

Storage Requirements

Store the belts horizontally in a dry warehouse and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, chemical solvents and other conditions that may accelerate rubber aging.
