Wholesale Conveyor Belt Cleats for Heavy Duty Conveying Applications

Tianjin Shunnai Conveyor Belt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specializes in manufacturing conveyor belt cleats and customized belt accessory solutions. With advanced processing equipment including high-frequency welding machines, CNC cutting machines, and laser welders, we provide professional solutions with various shapes, heights, materials, and installation options for different industrial applications.

Designed to Improve Inclined Material Transportation

Cleat accessories are installed transversely on the carrying surface of conveyor belts through welding, hot pressing, or bonding methods. Their main function is to hold materials in position and prevent sliding during inclined or declined conveying.

The selection of cleat structure depends on multiple factors including conveying angle, material characteristics, particle size, weight, and required throughput. When combined with sidewall structures, cleats can create a pocket-style conveying system for higher-angle transportation.

Different Structures for Various Conveying Conditions

Straight Cleats

Straight cleats are installed perpendicular to the belt running direction and represent the most widely used structure. They provide reliable material support, simple installation, and strong bonding performance for general inclined conveying applications.

Angled Cleats

Angled designs improve material retention by changing the contact direction between the cleat and conveyed products. They are suitable for granular, powder, and bulk materials where reducing accumulation and improving flow stability are important.

Curved Cleats

Curved structures provide stronger material holding capability by creating a retaining shape that helps prevent products from rolling or falling over the top edge. They are suitable for higher-angle conveying and unstable materials.

Crescent-Shaped Cleats

Crescent designs feature an arc-shaped profile that guides materials toward the center area of the belt. This structure helps reduce side spillage and improves stability when transporting bulk materials.

V-Shaped Cleats

V-shaped structures are designed for demanding bulk transportation applications. Their center-guiding design improves material control and provides stronger carrying capacity for steep-angle conveying systems.

Finger-Type and Rounded Cleats

Finger-type designs offer gentle material support with smaller contact areas. They are suitable for small products, fragile materials, and applications where reducing product impact is important.

Advantages for Reliable Conveying Performance

Multiple Design Options

Different profiles, heights, spacing arrangements, and installation methods are available to match various material characteristics and conveying conditions.

Strong Material Compatibility

Conveyor Belt Cleats can be produced from materials matching the conveyor belt base, including PVC, PU, and other thermoplastic materials, ensuring excellent bonding strength and long-term reliability.

Flexible Height and Spacing Selection

The height and spacing can be adjusted according to material size, loading requirements, and conveying angle. Typical height options range from 10mm to 100mm depending on application conditions.

Food-Grade Material Availability

For food processing applications, food-contact compliant materials are available to meet hygiene requirements in industries such as baking, confectionery, meat processing, and seafood handling.

Professional Welding Technology

Tianjin Shunnai uses professional high-frequency welding technology to achieve strong molecular bonding between accessories and belt surfaces. Each production batch is inspected to ensure consistent connection quality.

Applications in Different Industries

Food and Beverage Processing

Cleat structures are widely used for inclined transportation of baked goods, confectionery products, meat, seafood, and packaged food. Different profiles help improve stability while protecting product quality.

Logistics and Distribution

Parcel sorting systems and inclined transportation lines use cleated structures to improve product control and maintain stable movement during elevation changes.

Building Materials and Mining

Bulk materials such as sand, gravel, ore, and coal require strong retaining structures. V-shaped and curved designs help handle heavy materials and reduce spillage.

Agriculture and Grain Handling

Grain, seeds, and feed transportation systems benefit from reliable material positioning. Suitable structures improve lifting efficiency while maintaining smooth operation.

Chemical and Fertilizer Industries

Powder and granular chemical products require controlled transportation. Customized designs help reduce material loss and improve conveying accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select the right profile and height?

Selection depends on material type, conveying angle, loading capacity, and transportation requirements. Small particles usually require moderate-height structures, while larger or unstable materials may require stronger retaining designs.

Can cleats be installed on existing belts?

Yes. Retrofitting services are available for suitable belts. The belt surface condition, tension system, and equipment structure should be evaluated before installation to ensure reliable operation.

Will added structures affect pulley operation?

Yes. Additional surface structures may influence bending characteristics and pulley diameter requirements. Technical evaluation should be performed to ensure compatibility with the conveying system.

Can customized products be supplied?

Yes. Tianjin Shunnai provides customized solutions based on customer drawings or samples, including shape, height, spacing, material, and color requirements.

With advanced manufacturing technology and professional customization experience, Tianjin Shunnai provides reliable conveyor belt cleats solutions that improve inclined conveying efficiency and support stable industrial operations.
