Step 1 Calculate your conveyor length
In order to make the most
effective choice of conveyor
solution, please take the
time to go through the
following steps to work out
which modular components
you require to meet your
materials handling needs.
Worked examples are
shown where appropriate.
Step 2 Select belt type & joint type

PLAIN A plain belt is normally suitable for conveyor angles up to 20°. However
if your material is very free flowing, the maximum conveying angle on a plain belt
will probably be equivalent to the angle of repose of the material (the angle that
the sides of a pile of the material will naturally form).

CHEVRON A chevron belt incorporates a 15mm high chevron pattern on the
carrying surface and is capable of conveying materials at an angle of up to 35°.
CLEATED A cleated belt is plain belt fitted with 50mm high vertical cleats at
600mm spacing. It can be used to carry materials at angles up to 45°.
CLIP JOINT
A clip joint is a straightforward and
economical way to join the ends of
your selected belt. This joint makes it
easy to fit and replace belts.

VULCANISED JOINT
This type of joint is more durable and
robust creating a complete endless
loop. Being a loop the belt needs
to be fitted to the conveyor during
assembly.
