Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt

YUFENG Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt combines corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats through integrated vulcanization technology, enabling stable transportation from inclined conveying to 0°–90° vertical lifting while reducing material loss and improving conveying efficiency.

In mining, grain, chemical, and aggregate industries, materials such as ore, sand, grain, and powder products often slide backward when the conveying angle increases. Traditional solutions require multiple transfer conveyors, which increase equipment investment, occupy factory space, and raise maintenance costs.

Product Technology and Manufacturing Process

1. Integrated Vulcanized Sidewall Structure

Unlike traditional glued sidewall belts where sidewalls and cleats are attached separately after belt production, YUFENG integrates the base belt, corrugated sidewalls, and transverse cleats into one rubber structure through high-temperature vulcanization.

This design eliminates weak adhesive joints, improves resistance against material impact and repeated bending, and provides more reliable operation for continuous steep-angle conveying applications.

2. High Strength Carcass and Quality Control

YUFENG Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt adopts EP or NN multi-layer dipped fabric carcass with high tensile strength and low permanent elongation. The sidewall and cleat rubber uses high-elasticity anti-tear compounds, allowing repeated bending around pulleys without premature cracking.

Each finished belt undergoes sidewall peel testing, tensile testing, bending fatigue evaluation, and structural inspection before delivery. Test records and production data are available for customer verification.

Performance Advantages

1. Reliable Sidewall Bonding

YUFENG laboratory testing shows that sidewall peel strength remains above 12 N/mm after 100,000 cyclic bending tests. This helps maintain the structural connection between the sidewall and belt body during repeated flexing and long-term conveying.

2. Low Elongation for Stable Conveying

Permanent elongation under rated load is controlled below 1.3%, helping maintain belt tension and material positioning during continuous operation. The stable belt structure is suitable for demanding inclined and vertical conveying systems.

3. Vertical Conveying up to 90°

The corrugated sidewall structure supports conveying angles up to 90°, allowing materials to be lifted vertically without requiring conventional transfer stages. This can help simplify conveyor layouts, save installation space and improve material handling efficiency.

4. Extended Service Life

Compared with conventional glued sidewall conveyor belts, YUFENG's integrated structure can provide 2–3 times longer service life under similar operating conditions. Reduced belt replacement frequency helps minimize maintenance downtime and long-term operating costs.

Real Application Cases

1. Construction Sand Aggregate Plant 60° Conveying Project

A large construction sand aggregate plant previously used ordinary flat conveyor belts for raw material lifting. Because the conveying angle reached 60°, materials frequently slipped backward during transportation, creating material waste and requiring additional cleaning labor.

YUFENG analyzed the customer’s conveying conditions and supplied customized sidewall belt solutions suitable for steep-angle transportation. The integrated corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats effectively held the aggregate during upward movement and prevented continuous material loss.

After 16 months of continuous day-and-night operation, the belt structure remained intact, material spillage was reduced to nearly zero, and the customer improved factory space utilization by reducing unnecessary transfer equipment. Based on the stable performance, both parties established a long-term annual supply cooperation.

2. Grain Logistics Depot Vertical Lifting Project

A cross-border grain logistics company required a vertical wheat and corn conveying system with higher material storage capacity. The original multi-stage transfer method occupied excessive space and increased equipment complexity.

According to the customer’s grain particle size, hourly throughput, and lifting requirements, YUFENG customized a high-sidewall structure with optimized transverse cleat spacing. The solution improved material retention and prevented grain overflow during continuous vertical transportation.

After 13 months of operation, the customized belt maintained stable performance without sidewall damage, material sliding, or production interruption. The project successfully replaced multiple transfer conveyors with a more compact and efficient conveying system.
