Chevron Conveyor Belt

Chevron Conveyor Belt Overview

A Chevron Conveyor Belt, also known as a Chevron Cleated Conveyor Belt or Patterned Conveyor Belt, is designed for inclined transport of bulk, granular and lump materials. Raised rubber profiles are integrally molded and vulcanized with the carrying cover, creating physical support behind the conveyed material and helping reduce rollback and spillage as the belt travels upward.

Smooth conveyor belts are generally used at relatively low inclination angles, while Chevron profiles allow many bulk materials to be conveyed at steeper angles. Depending on the material, particle size, moisture, belt speed and profile design, Chevron Conveyor Belts can be suitable for conveying inclinations of up to approximately 40° under suitable operating conditions.

Chevron Belt performance is determined by more than profile height alone. Profile width, pitch, opening, pattern geometry, effective patterned width, belt carcass and cover compound should all be matched to the conveyor and conveyed material. TRANSCO offers multiple Chevron patterns with EP and NN textile carcass options, together with customized belt width, profile dimensions, cover thickness and rubber compounds for mining, quarrying, cement, recycling, agriculture and other bulk material handling applications.

Chevron Conveyor Belt Features

◆Reliable Inclined Conveying: Raised Chevron profiles provide continuous support behind bulk, granular and lump materials, helping reduce rollback and spillage as the belt travels upward. Depending on material characteristics, particle size, moisture, belt speed and profile design, Chevron Conveyor Belts can be suitable for conveying inclinations of up to approximately 40° under suitable operating conditions, allowing a shorter horizontal conveyor layout than many smooth-belt systems.
◆Multiple Profiles for Different Materials: Different materials require different profile geometries rather than simply a higher cleat. TRANSCO offers Open V, Closed V, Y-type, Herringbone and customized patterns, with common profile heights including 6, 12, 15, 25 and 32 mm. Profile height, width, pitch, opening and effective patterned width can be matched to material size, flow characteristics, conveyor angle and required capacity for more stable conveying and discharge.
◆Integrally Vulcanized Profile Construction: Chevron profiles are integrally molded and vulcanized with the carrying cover, forming a continuous rubber structure instead of relying on separately bonded cleats. Controlled mold filling and vulcanization help maintain consistent profile height and shape while strengthening the profile root, which is especially important for higher 25 mm and 32 mm profiles exposed to repeated flexing, impact and abrasive loading.
◆EP & NN Carcass for Strength and Flexibility: The Chevron profile controls the material, while the EP or NN textile carcass carries the longitudinal belt tension. EP construction provides relatively low elongation, dimensional stability and good troughability, while NN construction offers greater flexibility and impact absorption. Carcass strength, ply number and cover thickness can therefore be selected independently from the Chevron height according to conveyor length, lift, load and drive conditions.
◆Wear, Impact and Special Compound Options: For quarrying, mining, crushing, recycling and other severe applications, Chevron Belts can be produced with abrasion-resistant covers and optional breaker or rip-resistant reinforcement to improve resistance to wear, impact, cutting and tearing. Oil-resistant, heat-resistant, flame-resistant and cold-resistant compounds are also available, allowing the rubber formulation to be matched to the conveyed material and operating environment rather than using one compound for every application.
◆Application-Matched and Customizable Design: Chevron Belt performance depends on the complete combination of material, particle size, conveyor angle, belt width, capacity and operating conditions. TRANSCO can customize belt width and length, profile type, profile height and pitch, EP/NN carcass, tensile strength, ply number, cover thickness and rubber compound, while existing drawings, belt samples or dimensional photos can also be used for OEM and replacement matching. This helps reduce profile mismatch and maintain consistent specifications across repeat orders.

Chevron Conveyor Belt Specifications

How to Read a Chevron Conveyor Belt Specification

Note: Chevron profile dimensions are specified separately from the base belt construction. Profile height, width, pitch and pattern geometry should be confirmed together when selecting or replacing a Chevron Conveyor Belt.

Chevron Belt Selection Guide

1 . Confirm the Required Conveying Angle
Start with the conveyor inclination and the behavior of the material on a smooth belt. Smooth conveyor belts are commonly suitable for relatively low inclines, while Chevron profiles are used when rollback or spillage becomes a concern. For many bulk materials, Chevron Belts can extend practical conveying angles from the typical 18–20° range of smooth belts to approximately 40° under suitable operating conditions. For significantly steeper or near-vertical conveying, a corrugated sidewall belt with transverse cleats may be a more suitable solution.
2 . Evaluate the Conveyed Material
The correct Chevron profile should be selected according to the actual material rather than the conveyor angle alone. Particle size, lump size, bulk density, moisture, flowability, abrasiveness and material temperature all affect how the load behaves on an incline. Fine dry materials such as grain and fertilizer require different retention characteristics from wet sand, sticky materials or coarse aggregate, so the conveyed material should always be confirmed before the profile type and height are selected.
3 . Match the Chevron Profile to the Material
Profile geometry determines how effectively the belt retains and releases material. Open V patterns provide easier discharge and are generally better suited to wet or sticky materials, while Closed V patterns provide stronger continuous support for dry and free-flowing materials. Y-Type and Herringbone profiles can be selected for different flow and capacity requirements. Common profile heights include 6, 12, 15, 25 and 32 mm, with higher profiles generally used as particle size and material-retention requirements increase. Final selection should consider profile height together with width, pitch, opening and effective patterned width.
4 . Select the Carcass from Conveyor Tension
The Chevron profile supports the conveyed material, but it does not provide the main longitudinal strength of the belt. Belt tension is carried by the EP or NN textile carcass, so tensile strength and ply number must be selected from conveyor length, lift height, belt width, load, drive configuration and operating tension. A heavier or taller Chevron profile does not replace the need for the correct carcass rating, and the base belt should therefore be sized independently from the cleat height.
5 . Match the Cover Compound to the Working Conditions
The rubber cover should be selected according to the conveyed material and operating environment. Abrasion-resistant compounds are suitable for aggregate, stone, sand and ore; oil-resistant compounds are used where oils may affect standard rubber; and heat-resistant, flame-resistant or cold-resistant compounds can be selected for special operating conditions. Top and bottom cover thicknesses should also be matched to the expected wear, impact and service duty rather than using one standard construction for every Chevron Belt.
6 . Check Conveyor Compatibility Before Finalizing the Belt
Before confirming the specification, the Chevron Belt should be checked against the complete conveyor system. Profile height and carcass construction must be compatible with the pulley diameter, troughing arrangement, return-idler clearance, belt cleaners, scrapers, skirt systems, splice design and running direction. Higher profiles such as 25 mm and 32 mm require more clearance than low-profile patterns, so the final belt design should be reviewed together with the conveyor layout to avoid interference and premature profile damage.

Chevron Conveyor Belt Applications

Quarry & Aggregate Handling	Mining & Mineral Processing	Cement & Building Materials
Chevron Conveyor Belts are widely used in quarries and aggregate plants for inclined transport of sand, gravel, crushed stone, limestone and screened aggregate. Raised Chevron profiles help reduce material rollback on steep conveyor sections between crushers, screens, stockpiles and loading points. Abrasion-resistant covers and higher profiles such as 25 mm or 32 mm can be selected for coarse and abrasive materials.	In mining and mineral-processing systems, Chevron Belts can convey coal, ore, mineral lumps and crushed materials on inclined transfer conveyors. The profiled surface improves material retention where a smooth belt may allow coarse particles to roll backward. EP or NN carcass constructions, abrasion-resistant covers and reinforced belt options can be selected according to conveyor tension, impact load and material characteristics.	Chevron Conveyor Belts are suitable for handling limestone, clinker, gypsum, sand and mixed construction materials in cement plants, concrete production and building-material processing lines. They are commonly used on inclined conveyors connecting crushing, screening, storage and feeding equipment. Profile type and height can be matched to particle size and conveyor inclination to maintain stable material flow and reduce spillage.
Recycling & Waste Processing	Agriculture & Grain Handling	Mobile Crushing & Screening Equipment
Recycling plants often handle irregular, mixed and difficult-to-control materials such as construction waste, biomass, wood chips, industrial waste and recyclable materials. Chevron profiles help keep these materials moving on inclined conveyors during sorting, crushing, screening and material-recovery processes. For sharp or abrasive materials, heavy-duty covers, breaker reinforcement or rip-resistant constructions can be specified to improve belt durability.	Chevron Conveyor Belts are used for inclined transport of grain, seeds, fertilizer, animal feed and other agricultural bulk materials in storage, loading and processing systems. Lower or medium Chevron profiles can provide sufficient material retention without unnecessarily restricting discharge. Open or Closed V patterns can be selected according to material flowability, moisture content and the required conveying angle.	Chevron Conveyor Belts are commonly installed on mobile crushers, screening plants, stackers and loading conveyors, where compact equipment requires reliable material elevation within limited installation space. The steeper conveying capability of Chevron profiles can help reduce the horizontal conveyor footprint while maintaining discharge height. Belt width, profile height, pattern layout, carcass strength and cover compound can be customized to match OEM and replacement requirements.
