Conveyor belts with barriers

Conveyor belts with barriers are designed for transport applications where material spillage must be prevented.

Application

Conveyor belts with barriers (side and cross cleats) represent an optimal solution for preventing material spillage during transport on both flat and inclined conveyors. These barriers, either in the form of side “accordion” cleats or cross “ribs,” enable safe material transfer without loss.

Types

Belts with barriers are available in two types of cleats:

Side Barriers – “Accordion”

Dimensions: Adjustable to conveyor height and material type; available in various sizes according to customer needs.

Shape: The cleats are corrugated and designed with internal reinforcements, giving them high stability.

Function: Provides excellent resistance to deformation and prevents material from spilling over the belt edges.

Installation: Side cleats can be installed in two or more rows, depending on the conveyor width. For variable inclines, cleats with greater transverse stiffness are recommended, placed 70 to 120 mm from the belt edge, while for constant inclines they are positioned at the very edge.

Cross Barriers – “Ribs”

Arrangement: It is recommended to install 2 to 5 cross cleats per linear meter of belt, depending on the transport system requirements.

Installation Method: Cross cleats can be installed independently or in combination with side cleats (“accordion”). The number of cleats depends on the conveyor’s capacity, incline, and belt power.

Function: Cross cleats increase transport capacity and stability on inclines and prevent material spillage.

Types of Cross Cleats:

Tt

Ts

Tz

How to Choose the Right Belt with Barriers?

Proper sizing of a conveyor belt with barriers requires considering several key factors:

Type and Number of Cross Ribs: Determines the conveyor’s capacity and the type of material being transported.
Belt Width and Base Belt Type: Dimensions must match the conveyor size and industry requirements.
Height of Corrugated Side Cleats: Height and placement of side “accordions” are crucial for proper belt functionality. Cleats are positioned based on the incline type and material properties.
Cleat Placement: Correct positioning of side and cross cleats ensures maximum transport efficiency and safety.

Technical Specifications

Belt Widths: From 400 mm to 2000 mm, with customizable lengths as per customer request.
Side Cleat Dimensions: Adjustable to conveyor height and material type.
Cross Cleat Dimensions: Based on conveyor capacity, incline, and industry needs.

Advantages of Conveyor Belts with Barriers

Transport Optimization: Prevents material spillage on inclines, increasing efficiency and reducing losses.
High Stability and Resistance: Cleats provide enhanced stability and strength to the belt, ensuring safer transport.
Customization for Specific Needs: Ability to adjust cleat height, number, and placement allows for optimal solutions for every transport type.
Versatility: Suitable for various industries including construction, mining, agriculture, and recycling.

Conveyor belts with sidewalls (lateral and transverse) are the optimal solution for preventing material spillage during transport on horizontal and inclined conveyors. These sidewalls, whether in the form of lateral “corrugated walls” or transverse “cleats,” ensure safe material handling without loss.

Key Features of Conveyor Belts with Sidewalls

Spillage prevention: sidewalls prevent material from spilling during transport, even on slopes and conveyors with variable inclines (from 0 to 90°).
Enhanced stability: lateral “corrugated” sidewalls and transverse “cleats” stabilize the belt, ensuring safety and reliability during transport.
Customizability: belts are available in various widths and lengths to suit customer-specific needs, with options for adjusting the height, number, and position of the sidewalls.

Types of Sidewalls

Lateral Sidewalls “Corrugated”

Shape: the sidewalls are wavy and designed with internal reinforcements, giving them high stability.
Function: provides excellent resistance to deformation and protects material from spilling at the belt edges.
Placement: lateral sidewalls can be installed in two or more rows depending on the conveyor width. For variable inclines, sidewalls with greater transverse rigidity are recommended, placed 70 to 120 mm from the belt edge, while for constant inclines they are installed right at the edges.
Dimensions: sidewalls are adaptable to the conveyor height and material type, and available in various sizes as per customer requirements.

According to the dimensions of the sidewalls (cleats), the available options include:

Transverse Sidewalls “Cleats”

Installation type: transverse sidewalls can be installed independently or in combination with lateral sidewalls (“corrugated”), and the number of cleats depends on the conveyor capacity, incline, and belt strength.

Function: transverse cleats increase the transport capacity and stability on inclines and prevent material spillage.
Types of transverse cleats:
- Tt
- Ts
- Tz
Layout: it is recommended to install 2 to 5 transverse cleats per linear meter of belt, depending on the needs of the transport system.

According to the dimensions of the sidewalls (cleats), the available options include:

Height relationship between lateral and transverse cleats

height ratio of lateral and transverse sidewalls 1 1

How to Choose the Right Conveyor Belt with Sidewalls?

To properly dimension a conveyor belt with sidewalls, several key factors need to be considered:

Type and number of transverse cleats: the number and type of cleats determine the conveyor’s capacity and the type of material handled.
Belt width and base type: the belt dimensions must match the conveyor size and industrial requirements.
Height of corrugated lateral sidewalls: the height and position of the lateral “corrugated” sidewalls are key to the proper function of the belt. Placement depends on incline type and material nature.
Sidewall installation: correct installation of both lateral and transverse sidewalls ensures maximum transport efficiency and safety.

Standard Dimensions and Specifications

Belt widths: from 400 mm to 2000 mm, with customizable lengths as per customer request.
Lateral sidewall dimensions: adaptable to conveyor height and material type.
Transverse cleat dimensions: depend on the conveyor capacity, incline, and industry requirements.

Advantages of Conveyor Belts with Sidewalls

Optimized transport: prevent material spillage on inclines, thus increasing efficiency and reducing losses.
High stability and resistance: sidewalls provide greater belt stability and strength, ensuring safer transport.
Customizable to specific needs: adjustable height, number, and position of sidewalls offer the optimal solution for any transport scenario.
Versatility: suitable for various industries, including construction, mining, agriculture, and recycling.
