A: Corrugated sidewall conveyor belt is one of the most effective ways of elevating materials in a confined space, the economy is achieved by single belt operation, wide range material can be handled, less space requirement, no transfer point, low maintenance, and big capacity. A corrugated sidewall belt can be designed into a set of complete transportation system according to application.
Increase the transporting capacity to 4 times compared to the standard conveyor belt.
Save installation space due to the possibility of increasing the angle of inclination up to 90。
Small pulley diameters may be used, without the need for skirt boards. Facility costs are reduced with flat rollers.

A: Belt Profile Industry Configurations
Sidewalls that are mounted flush on the side of the base belt without cleats (smooth top). Typically used on horizontal conveyor configurations or minimal angles (no curve up or nose overs).
The sidewalls mounted flush the the sides but with cleats between the sidewalls. This allows for moving materials at steep straight inclines (no curve up or nose overs).
The most common and widely adapted configuration is having the sidewalls slightly recessed from the belt edge to allow for inclines (with curve ups and nose overs).
Please note there should be a minimum for recess of the side (10% of the overall base belt width plus the side wall height)
Belt Width
The conveyor belt width should typically be 4 times great than the side wall height to remove the risk of "top-heavy" loading.
Face Width or Effective Belt Width
The effective width, or the lateral distance between the sidewalls, is recommended to be at least two times the largest lump size to prevent possible product bridging or entrapment.
Cleat Spacing
The center to center dimension of the pusher or cleat is recommended to be minimum of 2x the largest piece of material. This will remove the ability to have material bridge or get stuck. Its important to make sure the cleats match the inside wall of the corrugated area of the belt. This will help remove the risk of material getting stuck between the cleat and the side wall.
Cleat Height
It's important to keep your cleat height at a minimum of a 1/2" lower than the side wall height to remove the risk for jamming or interference around external chutes on the frame of the conveyor.
This also removes the risk of a cleat continually hitting the return idlers and eventually damaging the cleats on belts 24” wide or less.
Make sure the cleat height is a minimum height of 75% of the largest material height. For instance if the max height of your material is 4" the minimum cleat is 3". If the incline angle of the conveyor is at or exceeding 75 degrees, the cleats must have a minimum height of 150% of the largest item height in your material stream.

A: Corrugated sidewall conveyor belts can run both horizontally and vertically and helps heavy duty conveying systems to save space as well as investment costs. Sidewall belts are of highest quality: Sidewall and cleats are hot vulcanized to the base belt. Compared to the traditional cold bonding methods, hot vulcanizing ensures strong adhesive force between the components and the belt and therefore a much longer life of the product.
Corrugated sidewall conveyor belts are tailor-made products. Depending on the clients’ request, sidewalls and cleats can be reinforced with diagonal fabric and bolted together. This fabric layer provides an excellent tear resistance while simultaneously allows the sidewall’s flexibility. The base belts are usually cross rigid. Under normal conditions Sidewall Conveyor Belt uses XE-layer reinforcement, however metal breaker with cross rigid character can also be applied in various specifications.

A: Base Belt
Designed and selected for each application, consisting of high transverse rigidity in conjunction with low elongation. The belts can be of all – textile design, a combination of textile and transverse steel cords or all steel cord design, according to the strength required and application requirements.
Sidewalls
Manufactured from a high grade rubber compound specifically formulated to provide the optimal flexing performance which is provided by high strength and elongation. Our sidewalls are also available with an additional diagonal fabric reinforcement which is a standard feature for 75mm and 100mm wide sidewalls and optional on the 50mm wide sidewalls.
Cleats
These are available in varying heights and designs which are selected according to the application requirements. Our cleat range provides optimal conveying capacity and load support along with abrasion resistance and discharge performance. Cleats from ≥ 140mm are fabric reinforced as standard and optional on lower cleats.

A: Sidewalls gets its name from its wavy appearance. Sidewalls ensure that products do not fall off the conveyor belt. Sidewalls serves as a side boundary of a conveyor belt. You increase the production capacity of the conveyor belt, save space and increase the angle at which you can transport.
Sidewalls are often used in combination with cleats: for example, you can screw them to cleats using sidelocks. The stability and capacity of the conveyor belt will then increase even further.
Sidewalls increase the effectiveness of a conveyor belt. Due to the firmness and balance, you can transport many more products at a large angle. Wave edges offer even more advantages. For example, you reduce maintenance costs. Sidewalls together with the conveyor belt form one whole. So you have a lot less maintenance-sensitive moving parts. In addition, the applicable angle of 90 degrees means that less force is needed to move the belt forward.
Sidewalls are available in various materials, colours, heights and designs. You can attach a sidewall to a conveyor belt in various ways. By gluing or hot vulcanizing. The best method depends on the type and material of the conveyor belt.

A: The base belt and cross-reinforcements can be made of either textile fabrics or steel cords, depending on the level of belt cross-rigidity and strength your application demands. Textile fabric, however, is not an option for high-strength belts.
The sidewalls are made of a high-strength rubber compound, so the belt is tough enough to handle all kinds of materials.
The cleats are made of abrasion-resistant rubber compounds and come in a large range of shapes and sizes to match the conveying capacity of your application. To ensure better stability, all sidewalls over 120 mm and cleats over 140 mm high are reinforced with fabric.
Several features make sidewall belts an economical and environmentally-friendly choice.
They prevent spillage at steep angles, thereby reducing material waste. They are also very hardwearing, which reduces maintenance work and lengthens the time between replacements. Enabling conveying at steep angles, they save space on your site. And crucially, since conveying distances can be shortened, our sidewall belts reduce energy consumption and contribute to your sustainability objectives.

A: The sidewall conveyor belting system has been developed mainly for very steep angle conveying, up to a gradient of 90º (vertical plane).
The belts, provided with sidewalls and cleats, have a high degree of flexibility, which enables effective transition from horizontal to inclined conveying (and vice versa). Belts can be adapted to different patterns or arrangements to suit client requirements.
Advantages of the sidewall belting system:
The sidewall belt construction increases carrying capacity by up to 4 times compared to other kinds of traditional belts in the same width range.
A sidewall conveyor saves floor space by allowing the vertical elevation of materials, up to a gradient of 90º
Due to the reduced number of components, the overall cost of a sidewall conveying system as well as the maintenance cost is lower than that of a comparable installation with traditional conveyors.

A: As sidewall belts usually operate in enclosed conditions, the usual temperature ratings applied to flat rubber conveyor belts cannot be applied. Increased temperature exposure over the life of the belt results in accelerated ageing and a reduction in belt elasticity which adversely effects the belt life.
The effective belt operating temperature therefore determines operating life of the belt.
If the operating temperature is consistently above 70° C, as in the case of heat resistant applications, Recommends, use of Hot Vulcanised high angle belts. This is because at high operating temperatures, the cold bonding adhesives used for both the cleats, sidewalls and the belt-splice start to break down. To ensure trouble free service in such applications sidewall belts with the cleats and the sidewall in heat resistant quality which are fixed on the base belt with hot vulcanisation.

A: Sidewall belt conveyor is a continuous conveying equipment that conveys materials through the movement of the conveyor belt that carries the material, using the conveyor belt as the traction and bearing member. The conveyor belt is wound around the drive roller and the tail roller to form a carrier endless belt. The support is used to limit the deflection sag of the conveyor belt, and the tensioning device provides the necessary tension for the normal operation of the conveyor belt. When working, the driving device drives the transmission roller, and the conveyor belt is driven by the friction between the transmission roller and the conveyor belt. The material is mounted on the conveyor belt and moves together with the conveyor belt to complete the conveying of the material.

A: Large-angle transportation: designed for large-angle or vertical transportation of materials, very suitable for applications with limited space or long-distance transportation of materials.
