Why Choose Aramid Conveyor Belt

◆ Lightweight & Energy Efficient: Aramid combines high tensile performance with very low material density, allowing the belt to achieve demanding load-carrying capability without the heavy reinforcement associated with steel-cord constructions. The reduced moving weight can help lower conveyor power demand, especially on long-distance systems. Low-rolling-resistance rubber compounds can also be selected to further improve conveyor energy efficiency.
◆ High Impact & Tear Resistance: The high strength and toughness of aramid help the belt withstand impact, cutting and tearing from large, sharp or heavy conveyed materials. Its reinforced carcass distributes impact loads more effectively and helps limit damage propagation, making the belt well suited to demanding loading zones, mining operations and other heavy-duty bulk handling applications.
◆ Excellent Heat Stability & Flame-Resistant Options: Aramid fibers maintain good mechanical stability at elevated temperatures and do not melt like conventional polyester or nylon fibers. This gives the reinforcement an important advantage in demanding thermal environments. For hot-material or fire-risk applications, the belt can be combined with heat-resistant or flame-resistant rubber compounds according to the required operating conditions.
◆ Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcement: As a non-metallic reinforcement material, aramid does not rust when exposed to moisture and provides good resistance to many chemical and environmental media. This makes aramid conveyor belts particularly attractive for humid, corrosive or chemically demanding environments where deterioration of metallic reinforcement may be a concern.
◆ Low Elongation & Long-Term Reliability: The high modulus of aramid helps limit belt stretch under working tension, providing good dimensional stability and reduced take-up demand during operation. Its fatigue-resistant reinforcement, together with durable top and bottom rubber covers, helps protect the belt against repeated flexing, abrasion and impact for reliable performance in long-distance and heavy-duty conveying systems.

Aramid Conveyor Belt Construction

An aramid conveyor belt is built around a high-strength aramid carcass, where longitudinal aramid yarns run continuously in the belt direction to carry the primary working tension. Transverse reinforcement ties the structure together across the belt width, helping stabilize the carcass, distribute impact loads, and resist tearing and lateral deformation under demanding conveying conditions.

What makes this structure different is the combination of high modulus, high tensile strength, and low material density. The aramid reinforcement stretches very little under working load while adding significantly less carcass weight than steel reinforcement. The result is a strong, lightweight, and dimensionally stable conveyor belt that can require less take-up travel than conventional multi-ply textile constructions and provide high tensile capacity with a lighter reinforcement system than comparable steel-reinforced designs. With no steel in the carcass, the reinforcement is also inherently resistant to rust.

Rubber Cover Grade Options

The rubber cover of an Aramid Conveyor Belt can be selected according to the conveyed material, abrasion level, impact conditions and operating environment. For general-purpose applications, H, D and L cover grades provide different balances of tensile strength, elongation and abrasion resistance.

H Grade — Cut & Gouge Resistant: H grade is designed for demanding applications involving large, sharp or coarse materials where cutting, gouging and impact damage are major concerns. It is suitable for materials such as hard rock, ore, limestone, clinker and broken stone.
D Grade — High Abrasion Resistant: D grade is recommended where abrasive wear is the primary concern. Its low abrasion-loss requirement makes it suitable for continuous handling of highly abrasive bulk materials where cover wear must be minimized.
L Grade — General & Moderate Abrasion: L grade is suitable for general conveying and moderately abrasive materials where severe cutting or extreme abrasion resistance is not required. Typical applications include coal, sand, cement, lime and similar bulk materials.

Is Aramid the Right Belt for Your Conveyor?

Different carcass constructions are designed for different conveyor duties. EP/NN belts provide flexible and economical solutions for general conveying, aramid belts combine high tensile capacity with low weight and very low elongation, while steel cord belts are preferred for the highest-tension and most demanding long-distance conveyor systems.

Aramid Conveyor Belt Applicantion

Mining & Quarrying	Cement & Aggregates
Aramid conveyor belts are well suited to high-tension and impact-intensive conveying of ore, rock and other heavy bulk materials. Their high strength-to-weight ratio, low elongation and reinforced carcass help maintain stable operation in long-haul mine and quarry conveyor systems.	For conveying limestone, clinker, crushed stone and other abrasive materials, aramid belts combine high tensile capability with good impact and tear resistance. Suitable cover compounds can be selected to protect the carcass against continuous abrasion, cutting and heavy loading.
Ports & Bulk Terminals	Long-Distance Overland Conveying
Port and terminal conveyors often require high throughput over long center distances. The relatively low weight and low elongation of aramid reinforcement can help reduce take-up demand and moving belt mass while supporting reliable ship loading, unloading and stockyard transfer operations.	Aramid conveyor belts are particularly suitable for long-distance and high-tension overland conveyor systems where belt weight and elongation are important design factors. Their lightweight high-strength carcass helps maintain dimensional stability and can reduce belt-related moving resistance compared with heavier reinforcement systems.

What Is a Solid Woven Conveyor Belt?

A Solid Woven Conveyor Belt is a heavy-duty conveyor belt manufactured with a single integrated woven textile carcass instead of multiple separately bonded fabric plies. The solid woven carcass is impregnated with PVC compound and plasticized to form a unified load-bearing belt body with good tensile strength, controlled elongation, impact resistance, tear resistance and dimensional stability. This integrated construction also helps reduce the risk of ply separation that can occur in conventional multi-ply conveyor belts.

Solid woven conveyor belts are primarily divided into PVC Solid Woven Conveyor Belts and PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts and are widely used for underground coal mine conveying. PVC type uses PVC cover compounds on both the top and bottom surfaces, with a typical cover thickness of ≥0.8 mm. PVG type uses rubber and PVC combined cover compounds on both surfaces, with typical cover thicknesses of 1.5–4.5 mm, providing improved abrasion resistance, impact resistance, wet grip and surface durability for more demanding operating conditions.

With their integrated carcass structure and available flame-resistant and anti-static performance, PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts are suitable for underground coal transportation, inclined roadways, main roadway and trunk conveyors, loading and transfer points, and other demanding mine conveying systems. PVG construction is generally preferred for wetter, more abrasive or higher-impact conditions, while the final belt type, strength grade, width, cover thickness and construction should be selected according to conveyor tension, conveying distance, inclination, material condition and applicable mine safety requirements.

Why Choose PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belt

◆ Integrated Solid Woven Carcass & High Tensile Strength: We manufacture our PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts with a single integrated textile carcass rather than multiple separately bonded fabric plies, helping eliminate conventional inter-ply separation and maintain a relatively lightweight, stable belt structure. The carcass uses high-strength, low-elongation polyester yarns in the longitudinal direction and high-strength nylon yarns with suitable transverse modulus, providing a balance of tensile strength, impact absorption and flexibility. We can produce strength grades from 680S to 2240S, with longitudinal tensile strength from 680 N/mm to 2240 N/mm and transverse tensile strength from approximately 265 N/mm to 450 N/mm.
◆ Flame-Resistant & Anti-Static Safety Performance: We design our solid woven conveyor belts for underground coal conveying systems where flame resistance and static-electricity control are essential. The finished belt can achieve surface electrical resistance of ≤3.0 × 10⁸ Ω. In alcohol-lamp flame testing, the average flame and afterglow duration can be controlled to ≤3 seconds, with an individual value of ≤10 seconds, helping reduce the risks associated with ignition and static accumulation in underground and enclosed conveyor systems.
◆ Controlled Drum-Friction Safety: We control drum-friction performance to reduce the risk of excessive heat generation when belt slip occurs against a rotating pulley. Under specified drum-friction test conditions, our flame-resistant solid woven belt is designed to show no flaming or glowing combustion, while the drum surface temperature is controlled to ≤325°C. This provides an additional level of safety for continuous underground conveying where pulley slip or abnormal friction may occur.
◆ High Impact, Tear & Abrasion Resistance: The integrated woven carcass provides strong resistance to repeated material impact and longitudinal tearing, making the belt suitable for loading zones, transfer points and other demanding sections of a coal conveying system. For more severe conditions, our PVG construction uses a rubber-enhanced cover with tensile strength of ≥10 MPa, elongation at break of ≥350%, and abrasion loss of ≤200 mm³, providing improved resistance to surface wear, cutting and repeated impact. PVG cover thickness can be produced from approximately 1.5 to 4.5 mm according to the required working conditions.
◆ Low Elongation, Good Flexibility & Troughability: We control longitudinal full-thickness elongation at rated force to ≤4%, helping maintain stable belt length and operating tension during continuous conveying. At the same time, full-thickness elongation at break reaches ≥15% longitudinally and ≥18% transversely, providing sufficient flexibility and deformation capacity for impact absorption and reliable trough formation. The integrated solid woven carcass also supports stable tracking and reduces the risk of conventional inter-ply separation, making the belt suitable for heavy-duty underground conveying and repeated loading conditions.
◆ PVC & PVG Options for Dry, Wet & Inclined Conveying: We provide both PVC and PVG constructions to match different underground operating conditions. PVC belts use PVC covers and are generally suitable for relatively dry and stable conveying routes with inclinations below 16°. PVG belts use a rubber-enhanced cover system that further improves wet grip, abrasion resistance, cover tensile performance, flexibility and low-temperature performance, making them more suitable for wet coal, inclined roadways, repeated loading impact and severe surface wear. PVG belts can generally be applied to conveying inclinations below approximately 20°, while their stronger cover protection also helps extend belt service life under demanding operating conditions.

Solid Woven Conveyor Belt Technical Standards

① TRANSCO PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts are manufactured and verified in accordance with KA/T 914-2019, the current Chinese industry standard for flame-resistant textile carcass conveyor belts used in coal mines. It provides the principal technical and safety requirements for mine conveyor belts and forms the main compliance basis for our PVC/PVG solid woven belts supplied for underground coal conveying applications.
② Underground mining belt construction and performance are verified according to ISO 22721:2023, which specifies requirements for rubber- or plastics-covered conveyor belts of textile construction used in underground mines on flat or troughed idlers. Our PVC/PVG solid woven belt construction, strength grade and finished-belt configuration can be matched to underground conveyor tension, belt width, pulley arrangement and operating requirements in accordance with this standard.
③ Flame-resistant performance is tested according to ISO 340:2022, which evaluates the reaction of a conveyor belt to an ignition flame source under laboratory-scale conditions. This provides standardized verification of the flammability characteristics of our PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts and supports their use in underground and enclosed conveying systems where control of ignition and continued burning is required.
④ Electrical conductivity and anti-static performance are verified according to ISO 284:2025, which specifies the maximum electrical resistance of conveyor belts and the corresponding test method. This verification confirms that our PVC/PVG belts provide sufficient electrical conductivity to help prevent the accumulation of static electrical charge generated during conveyor operation, an important safety requirement for underground mine conveying systems.

Solid Woven Conveyor Belt Construction

Cover Rubber Layers:  The top and bottom cover layers form the external working surfaces of our solid woven conveyor belt. The top cover directly contacts coal and other conveyed materials, while the bottom cover protects the carcass and maintains stable contact with drive pulleys, idlers and other conveyor components. For PVC Solid Woven Conveyor Belts, we use PVC-based cover compounds to provide flame-resistant, anti-static and stable surface performance. For PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts, we use a rubber-enhanced PVC cover system to provide improved abrasion resistance, impact resistance, wet grip and flexibility for heavier-duty, wet or inclined underground conveying conditions. Solid Woven Carcass:  The integrated solid woven carcass is the main load-bearing structure of the belt. We use high-strength, low-elongation longitudinal yarns together with high-strength transverse yarns to form a continuous woven textile structure rather than multiple separately bonded fabric plies. This construction provides high tensile strength, controlled elongation, impact absorption, tear resistance and good troughability while helping reduce the risk of conventional inter-ply separation. During production, the complete woven carcass is impregnated with PVC compound and plasticized, allowing the PVC material to penetrate and surround the internal yarn system. This process helps stabilize the carcass structure and protect the internal textile reinforcement against moisture and contamination.

Solid Woven Conveyor Belt Technical Parameters

Flame-Resistant & Anti-Static Safety Performance

Our PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts are designed for underground coal mine conveying systems where flame resistance, electrical conductivity and friction safety are critical. We control and verify finished-belt safety performance through electrical resistance, drum-friction, alcohol-burner and propane-burner testing according to the applicable mine conveyor belt requirements.

Safety Performance Explanation
The electrical resistance limit of ≤3.0 × 10⁸ Ω helps control static electricity generated during conveyor operation and reduces static accumulation in underground and enclosed conveying environments. The drum-friction test evaluates belt safety under abnormal slipping between the belt and drive pulley; under the specified test conditions, the drum surface temperature is limited to ≤325°C, and the specimen must show no flaming or glowing combustion.
The alcohol-burner test evaluates flame and afterglow behavior after the ignition source is removed, using both complete belt specimens and specimens with the covers removed. The propane-burner test further evaluates resistance to flame propagation along the conveyor belt, requiring a minimum undamaged length of ≥250 mm after testing.

Note: The 325°C value is a drum-friction test limit and does not represent the continuous operating temperature of the conveyor belt.

PVC vs PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belt

PVC Solid Woven Conveyor Belt
Our PVC Solid Woven Conveyor Belt is designed for underground coal mine and enclosed conveyor systems where flame-resistant, anti-static and stable conveying performance are required. The PVC-impregnated integrated carcass provides a strong, low-elongation belt body without conventional multi-ply separation, making it suitable for continuous coal transportation, development conveyors and other relatively stable underground conveying routes.
We recommend PVC construction when the operating environment is relatively dry, loading impact is moderate and the project requires a reliable, cost-effective flame-resistant solid woven conveyor belt. Belt strength grade, width, cover construction and joint method can be selected according to conveyor tension, route length, pulley configuration and mine safety requirements.

PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belt
Our PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belt is developed for more demanding underground mining conditions where moisture, repeated impact, surface wear or higher conveying loads place greater stress on the belt. Its rubber-enhanced cover system works with the PVC-impregnated solid woven carcass to provide improved grip, abrasion resistance and surface durability while maintaining the flame-resistant and anti-static characteristics required for mine conveying.
We recommend PVG construction for wet coal conveying, inclined roadways, main roadway conveyors, trunk conveyors, drift conveyors and high-load transfer sections. It is particularly suitable when a standard PVC belt cannot provide sufficient surface grip or wear resistance, allowing the belt construction to be matched more closely to heavy-duty underground conveying conditions.

Solid Woven Conveyor Belt Applications

Underground Coal Mine Transportation	Development & Extensible Conveyors	Main Roadway, Trunk & Drift Conveyors
Our PVC/PVG Solid Woven Conveyor Belts are widely used for continuous underground coal transportation, including roadway conveyors and coal transfer routes where flame-resistant and anti-static performance is essential. PVC is suitable for relatively stable underground conditions, while PVG is preferred where moisture, impact or surface wear is more severe.	We provide solid woven belts for development and extensible conveyor systems where the conveying route is frequently extended or adjusted as mining progresses. The integrated carcass provides stable performance during repeated installation and length changes, while suitable mechanical or vulcanized joining can be selected according to the conveyor design.	For main roadway, trunk and drift conveyors, we provide higher-strength solid woven constructions for longer conveying distances, higher belt tension and greater material throughput. PVG is particularly suitable for these heavy-duty routes because its reinforced cover system provides improved wear resistance and surface durability under continuous high-load operation.
Inclined Roadway Conveying	Coal Loading & Transfer Sections	Tunnelling & Underground Mineral Handling
Our PVC/PVG belts can be used in inclined underground conveyor systems where belt grip and material stability become more important as the conveying angle increases. PVC is generally suitable for inclinations below approximately 16°, while PVG can be used below approximately 20°, depending on material moisture, particle size, loading method and conveyor design.	At coal loading points, feeder sections and transfer zones, the belt is exposed to repeated impact, concentrated loading and localized abrasion. We can provide PVG construction with a rubber-enhanced cover to improve impact resistance, wear resistance and wet-condition performance in these higher-stress conveyor sections.	Our Solid Woven Conveyor Belts can also be used in tunnelling and underground mineral handling systems where flame resistance, anti-static performance and moisture protection are required. Suitable PVC or PVG constructions can be selected for conveying materials such as potash, salt, trona, gypsum and other mined bulk materials according to the operating conditions.

EP/NN Conveyor Belt Profile

EP Conveyor Belt: EP stands for Polyester-Nylon. Polyester yarns are used in the longitudinal warp direction, while nylon/polyamide yarns are used in the transverse weft direction. The polyester warp helps control longitudinal elongation and maintain dimensional stability under working tension, while the nylon weft provides the transverse flexibility required for troughing and repeated belt flexing. EP conveyor belts are particularly suitable where stable belt length, controlled elongation, reduced take-up requirement and continuous medium- to long-distance conveying are important.

NN Conveyor Belt: NN stands for Nylon-Nylon. Nylon yarns are used in both the longitudinal warp and transverse weft directions. The all-nylon carcass provides high elasticity, excellent flexibility, good troughability and strong impact absorption, making NN conveyor belts particularly suitable for conveyors exposed to repeated bending, dynamic loading and impact-intensive material handling. Because nylon has higher longitudinal elongation than polyester, sufficient take-up travel should be considered when selecting or replacing an NN conveyor belt.

EP Conveyor Belt Features

◆ EP & NN Carcass Options: EP/NN conveyor belts are available with either polyester-warp/nylon-weft EP carcass or nylon-warp/nylon-weft NN carcass, with available constructions ranging from EP100 to EP630 and NN100 to NN500 in 2–6 ply configurations. EP construction emphasizes lower longitudinal elongation and dimensional stability, while NN construction provides higher elasticity and flexibility for impact-intensive conveying.
◆ High Tensile Strength & Load Capacity:Multi-ply EP and NN carcasses can be matched to different conveyor tensions and material loads, with available finished-belt tensile strengths ranging from 200 N/mm to 3780 N/mm, depending on fabric grade and number of plies. Full-thickness tensile strength and elongation are verified according to ISO 283:2023.
◆ Controlled Elongation or High Elasticity: EP polyester warp reinforcement helps maintain stable belt length, with conventional polyester fabric belts showing around 0.5–1.0% permanent elongation as an industry reference, while the all-nylon NN carcass provides greater elasticity and repeated-bending capability. This allows the carcass type to be selected according to take-up capacity, conveyor length and operating conditions.
◆ Good Flexibility, Troughability & Pulley Adaptability: Both carcass systems provide the transverse flexibility required for troughed conveying, while NN offers particularly high flexibility for repeated bending and smaller-pulley applications. Finished-belt troughability is verified according to ISO 703:2025, and minimum pulley diameter can be determined according to ISO 3684 based on belt construction and operating tension.
◆ Impact Resistance & Carcass Durability: Nylon reinforcement helps absorb dynamic deformation at loading and transfer points, with NN construction particularly suited to ore, stone, coal and other lump-material applications exposed to repeated impact. Tear propagation resistance of textile conveyor belts can be evaluated according to ISO 505:2025, while EP construction provides a balance of longitudinal stability and transverse impact resistance.
◆ Reliable Interply & Cover Adhesion: Skim rubber bonds the textile plies and outer covers into an integrated carcass, helping resist delamination during repeated flexing, tensioning and impact loading. Ply-to-ply and cover-to-carcass adhesion are verified according to ISO 252:2023, providing measurable control of carcass bonding performance.
◆ Multiple Cover Compound & Thickness Options:
EP/NN conveyor belts can be supplied with abrasion-resistant, heat-resistant, oil-resistant and flame-resistant rubber covers, with available constructions supporting top covers up to 30 mm and bottom covers up to 20 mm depending on belt specification. Heat-resistant cover performance can be verified according to ISO 4195:2026, while other compounds are selected according to the conveyed material and operating environment.

Adhesion Strength and Elongation

EP/NN Conveyor Belt Construction

Top Rubber Cover: Protects the belt carcass from abrasion, impact, cutting, weather and direct contact with conveyed materials. Cover thickness and rubber compound are selected according to the material and operating environment. EP or NN Fabric Carcass: The textile carcass is the primary load-bearing reinforcement.  EP Fabric: Polyester warp + Nylon weft, providing low longitudinal elongation, dimensional stability and transverse flexibility. NN Fabric: Nylon warp + Nylon weft, providing high elasticity, excellent flexibility, troughability and impact absorption. Skim Rubber: Located between adjacent fabric plies, skim rubber bonds the reinforcement layers together and transfers stresses throughout the carcass during tensioning, flexing, impact and troughing. Bottom Rubber Cover: Protects the pulley and return side of the carcass from idler contact, pulley friction and mechanical wear during continuous operation. Rubber Moulded Edge: Where moulded-edge construction is specified, rubber surrounds and protects the textile carcass at the belt edge, helping reduce direct exposure of the reinforcement.

EP vs NN Conveyor Belt

EP and NN conveyor belts are both multi-ply textile conveyor belts, but they use different carcass materials. EP uses polyester in the warp and nylon in the weft, while NN uses nylon in both directions. The main selection differences are elongation, dimensional stability and flexibility.

EP Conveyor Belt Applications

Mining & Ore Handling	Cement & Limestone	Quarry & Aggregate
Used for transporting coal, ore and processed minerals between crushing, screening, processing and stockpiling areas. EP is well suited to longer continuous conveyors where controlled elongation is important. NN is particularly useful at impact-intensive loading and transfer points.	Used for limestone, crushed raw materials and other bulk materials throughout cement production. Belt strength, cover thickness and cover compound should be selected according to material size, abrasion and temperature. Heat-resistant constructions should be specified separately where required.	Suitable for crushed stone, gravel, sand and aggregate handling between crushers, screens and stockpiles.

Sidewall Conveyor Belt Overview

A Sidewall Conveyor Belt, also known as a Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt, is designed for steep-incline and vertical conveying of bulk materials. It combines a reinforced base belt with corrugated sidewalls and cross cleats to retain material during lifting, helping reduce rollback, side spillage and unnecessary transfer points. When the conveyor system is properly engineered, sidewall belts can operate from horizontal conveying to inclines of up to 90°, making them suitable for installations where vertical lift and limited floor space are key requirements.

Unlike conventional flat conveyor belts, sidewall belts can use cross-rigid reinforcement to provide the transverse stiffness needed to support the sidewalls and cleats while remaining flexible in the longitudinal direction for pulley bending. Belt strength, sidewall height, cleat height and pitch, reinforcement structure and rubber compound can be selected according to the conveyed material, capacity, lift height and operating conditions, making them widely used in mining, ports, cement plants, power stations, recycling and bulk material handling systems.

Sidewall Conveyor Belt Features

◆High Inclination Conveying up to 90°: TRANSCO Sidewall Conveyor Belts are designed for steep-incline and vertical material handling, with conveyor layouts capable of operating at angles up to 90° when the complete system is properly engineered. The corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats form stable material pockets that support the load during lifting, allowing the conveyor to transition from horizontal to steep incline or vertical conveying and back to horizontal within one continuous system.
◆Continuous Conveying with Reduced Spillage: The combination of corrugated sidewalls and cross cleats keeps bulk material contained within the effective carrying area of the belt, reducing rollback and material loss during steep conveying. Because material can travel continuously from the loading point to the discharge point without unnecessary intermediate transfer points, the system can also reduce dust generation, product degradation and spillage commonly associated with repeated material transfers.
◆High Capacity in a Compact Conveyor Layout: By conveying materials at steep angles instead of extending the conveyor over a long horizontal distance, a sidewall belt system can achieve substantial vertical lift within a much smaller installation footprint. This makes it particularly suitable for ports, mines, cement plants, processing facilities and existing production lines where floor space is limited, while the available sidewall heights, cleat dimensions and belt widths allow the carrying volume to be matched to the required conveying capacity.
◆Hot-Vulcanized Integrated Construction: The base belt, corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats are engineered as an integrated conveying structure, with hot-vulcanized bonding available to provide stronger and more durable connections than conventional cold-bonded assembly. Accurate molding and vulcanization help the sidewalls and cleats withstand repeated flexing, loading and pulley transitions, reducing the risk of premature separation and supporting longer service life under demanding bulk-material handling conditions.
◆Precision-Controlled Belt Manufacturing: Stable sidewall belt performance begins with consistent base-belt construction. TRANSCO controls critical production processes with calendering accuracy reaching approximately 0.1 mm and rubber mixing temperature controlled within ±0.5°C, helping maintain uniform cover thickness, compound consistency and carcass construction. These manufacturing controls support reliable bonding, dimensional stability and repeatable belt performance from one production batch to the next.
◆Smooth Operation with Reliable Production Support: Sidewall conveyor systems run on rotating pulleys and idlers and can reduce the number of intermediate transfer points and auxiliary conveying equipment required in high-lift applications, supporting smooth operation and lower maintenance requirements when the system is correctly designed. TRANSCO integrates base-belt manufacturing, sidewall preparation, cleat production and final assembly within its production system, backed by 800,000+ meters of monthly belt production capacity, allowing both standard and customized sidewall conveyor belt orders to be supplied consistently for industrial projects.

Cross Section of Sidewall Conveyor Belt

A Sidewall Conveyor Belt consists of a reinforced base belt, corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats. The sidewalls retain material along both edges of the belt, while the cleats support the load and reduce rollback during steep-incline or vertical conveying. The outer free zone provides the required clearance for pulley contact, tracking and conveyor operation. Together, these components form stable material pockets for controlled bulk material handling at high conveying angles.

Sh – Sidewall Height: The vertical height of the corrugated sidewall, selected according to material size, required capacity and conveying angle.
Bw – Belt Width: The total width of the base belt, determined by conveying capacity, material characteristics and conveyor layout.
Cp – Cleat Pitch: The longitudinal distance between adjacent cross cleats. Cleat pitch affects pocket volume, material support and conveying capacity.
Sw – Sidewall-Foot Width: The width of the sidewall base bonded to the belt surface, which influences the installation area, free-zone width and structural stability of the sidewall.

Sidewall height, cleat height and pitch, belt width and free-zone dimensions should be selected as a complete system according to the conveyed material, lump size, capacity, inclination angle and conveyor geometry. At TRANSCO, we provide application-based selection and customization for sidewall conveyor belts, including base belt strength, EP or NN carcass construction, cross-rigid reinforcement, sidewall height, cleat profile and spacing, belt width, cover thickness, rubber compound, edge design, splice method, belt marking and packaging. If the original belt specification is unavailable, we can also recommend a suitable configuration based on your conveyor dimensions, operating conditions and material-handling requirements.

Sidewall Conveyor Belt Production Details

Rubber Compound Preparation	Rubber Mixing & Refining	Base Belt Preparation
Prepared rubber compounds are processed and stored for subsequent base belt, sidewall and cleat production.	Rubber compounds are mixed and refined through controlled roller processing to achieve consistent material properties.	The base belt surface is prepared for sidewall and cleat assembly to ensure accurate positioning and reliable bonding.
Hot Vulcanization	Quality Inspection	Finished Belt Inspection & Storage
The base belt, sidewalls and cleats are hot vulcanized into one integrated structure, improving bonding strength, durability and resistance to repeated flexing.	Finished belts are inspected for dimensions, cleat spacing, sidewall alignment and bonding quality before packing and shipment.	Completed sidewall conveyor belts are inspected for profile consistency, bonding quality and overall dimensions before storage or shipment.

Applications of Sidewall Conveyor Belt

Mining & Quarrying	Cement & Building Materials	Ports & Bulk Terminals
Sidewall Conveyor Belts are widely used for steep-incline conveying of ore, coal, crushed rock and other heavy or abrasive bulk materials. The combination of corrugated sidewalls and cross cleats helps retain large lumps during lifting while reducing rollback and intermediate transfer points.	Suitable for limestone, clinker, aggregate, sand and other construction materials, sidewall belts provide high-capacity conveying where substantial vertical lift is required within limited plant space. Cross-rigid belt constructions can be selected for demanding loads and repeated flexing.	At ports and bulk handling terminals, Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belts can move materials from low-level loading areas to elevated discharge points using compact conveyor layouts. Steep conveying angles help reduce conveyor footprint, transfer sections and material spillage.
Power Plants & Coal Handling	Agriculture & Grain Handling	Recycling & Biomass
Sidewall belts are suitable for coal, biomass, ash and other bulk materials used in power-generation facilities. Continuous steep-angle conveying can reduce the number of transfer points and is well suited to enclosed systems where dust control and compact installation are important.	Grain, corn, wheat, fertilizer, feed and other free-flowing materials can be conveyed efficiently using sidewall belt systems. The enclosed carrying pockets formed by the sidewalls and cleats help stabilize the material during high-angle lifting and reduce product loss.	Sidewall conveyor belts can handle wood chips, biomass, recycled materials, construction waste and other lightweight or irregular bulk products. Different sidewall heights, cleat profiles and belt constructions can be selected according to material density, lump size, required capacity and conveying angle.

We also provide customized packaging solutions, including custom steel frames, pallet sizes, internal supports, waterproof protection, shipping marks, labels and container-loading arrangements according to your order and transport requirements.

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.

Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Profile

A steel cord conveyor belt, also known as an ST conveyor belt, is a heavy-duty rubber conveyor belt reinforced with multiple high-strength steel cords arranged longitudinally as the primary tensile member. The steel cords carry the operating tension, while high-adhesion core rubber surrounds and bonds the cords into the belt body. Top and bottom rubber covers protect the carcass against abrasion, impact, cutting and environmental exposure.

Steel cord conveyor belts are designed for high-strength, long-distance and high-capacity material conveying, and can also be used in high-tension, shorter-distance applications where greater tensile capacity is required. Their high tensile strength and very low longitudinal elongation make them particularly suitable for demanding conveyor systems with high operating tension and continuous heavy-duty service.

The ST designation indicates the nominal tensile strength of the finished belt in N/mm. For example, an ST1000 conveyor belt has a nominal tensile strength of 1,000 N/mm. Different steel cord conveyor belt constructions and rubber compounds are available for general-purpose, oil-resistant, heat-resistant, acid- and alkali-resistant, cold-resistant, flame-resistant, rip-resistant and elevator applications, depending on the operating environment and conveyed material.

Steel cord conveyor belts are widely used in coal handling, mining, ports, metallurgy, power plants, chemical processing and other heavy industrial bulk material handling systems where high strength, long conveying distance, large capacity and reliable continuous operation are required.

Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Features

◆High Tensile Strength & Heavy-Duty Capacity: Longitudinal steel cord reinforcement provides the high tensile capacity required for heavy-load and high-tension conveyor systems. Available belt strengths from ST500 to ST7500, corresponding to nominal tensile strengths of 500–7500 N/mm, allow the belt construction to be matched to different conveying capacities, operating tensions and long-distance applications.
◆Very Low Elongation & Long-Distance Stability: Steel cords provide very low longitudinal elongation compared with conventional textile carcasses, helping maintain stable belt length and reduce take-up travel on long conveyor systems. Steel cord elongation is verified under ISO 7622-1:2013, including measurement under loads corresponding to 10% and 60% of the specified tensile strength.
◆Optimized Cord Geometry & Pulley Compatibility: Steel cord diameter and spacing are engineered according to the required ST strength rating. Available constructions use steel cords from approximately 3.0 to 15 mm in diameter with cord pitches from about 10 mm to 21 mm, depending on belt strength and construction.
◆Reliable Cord-to-Rubber Adhesion & Impact Durability: The steel cords are embedded in high-adhesion core rubber to create a strong bond between the reinforcement and belt body, helping transfer operating loads and resist separation under impact and repeated flexing. Cord-to-rubber bonding is verified in both the original condition and after thermal treatment according to ISO 7623:2022, providing measurable control of adhesion durability.
◆Uniform Cord Arrangement & Stable Running: Steel cords are arranged longitudinally at a controlled pitch to maintain uniform load distribution across the belt width. With available cord spacing controlled within approximately 10–21 mm, the reinforcement system helps maintain consistent tension, stable tracking and good transverse flexibility while supporting the high longitudinal strength required for heavy-duty conveying.
◆Engineered Cover Thickness & Multiple Compound Options: Top and bottom rubber covers protect the steel cord carcass against abrasion, impact, cutting and environmental exposure. Available min cover constructions range from approximately 4 mm to 10 mm, depending on the ST rating and operating conditions, and can be combined with abrasion-resistant, heat-resistant, oil-resistant, flame-resistant, cut- and gouge-resistant or other specialized rubber compounds.
◆Engineered Splicing & Internal Inspection: Steel cord conveyor belts are normally joined using engineered hot-vulcanized splices, with cord arrangement and splice dimensions matched to the ST rating, cord diameter and pitch. Vulcanized steel cord joints can be designed and evaluated according to ISO 15236-4, while X-ray inspection can be used to examine internal cord alignment and identify hidden reinforcement damage without removing the rubber covers.

⑥ For special operating environments, heat-resistant, oil-resistant, flame-resistant and antistatic steel cord conveyor belts are manufactured and verified according to the corresponding performance standards. These special properties are matched to the selected rubber compound and operating conditions rather than being determined by the ST strength rating alone.

Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Construction

	Steel Cord Composition

A steel cord conveyor belt is mainly composed of top cover rubber, bonding rubber, steel cord reinforcement and bottom cover rubber. This structure provides high tensile strength, low elongation and reliable performance for long-distance, high-tension and heavy-duty conveying applications.
Top Rubber: The top cover rubber is the working surface of the belt and protects the steel cord carcass from abrasion, impact, cutting, gouging and direct contact with conveyed materials. Cover thickness and rubber compound are selected according to the material and operating conditions.
Bonding Rubber: The bonding rubber, also called core rubber, surrounds and embeds the steel cords inside the belt. It provides strong adhesion between the steel cords and the rubber body, helping transfer operating loads while improving resistance to separation, fatigue and moisture penetration.
Steel Cord: The steel cord is the main tensile reinforcement of the belt. Multiple high-strength steel cords are arranged longitudinally to provide high load-bearing capacity, very low elongation and reliable tensile performance. This construction is particularly suitable for high-tension, long-distance and large-capacity conveyor systems.
Bottom Rubber: The bottom cover rubber protects the underside of the belt from idler contact, pulley friction and continuous mechanical wear. It also helps protect the steel cord carcass and supports long-term belt durability.
