Cleats and Profiles

Inclined conveyors occasionally require belts with profiles or cleats (flights) on the carrying surface.
These prevent slippage of the conveyed material and increases the belt capacity.
The type and height of the most suitable cleat (flight) is determined according to the characteristics of the conyeved material and the inclination of the conveyor. Optimum conveying capacity can be achieved up to angles of 70º by this means.
Notched PVC and PU trapezoidal tracking guides can be supplied; this increases belt flexibility and when fitted to the underside of the belt can reduce the minimum pulley diameter by 10%.
The cleats (flights) are oil and fat resistant.
Examples of possible cleat (flight) arrangements are as follows:

Recommendations for profile attachment

Profile attachment is best carried out on 2 or more ply belts .
Minimum covers thickness for profile type are given below.
To obtain good results with a tracking guide, the grooves in the pulleys, rollers and slider beds must be larger than the tracking guide which is welded to the belt.

Material and type of profile		Minimum cover thickness
PVC	short fingers	0,3 mm
	height 20 and 30 mm	0,5 mm
	reinforced profiles	0,8 mm
	height 40, 50, 60 mm and types NE.C14	0,8 mm
	height 70, 80 mm and types NE.015 and fingers	1 mm
PU TPE	all types	0,3 mm
PO	all types	0,5 mm
