About plain cleated belts
Plain cleated conveyor belts feature evenly spaced protrusions (cleats) attached or integrally molded to the belt surface. Plain cleats run perpendicular to the belt length, dividing the belt into sections. They contain loose, bulk materials on flat or incline conveyors.
While plain cleats are common on flat belt conveyors, all our conveyors can use plain cleated belts, including radial stackers, flat idlers, trough idlers, slider beds, trough slider beds, and roller chain conveyors.
Industries and applications
Plain cleated belts efficiently transport materials up steep inclines, prevent loose materials from rolling backward, and maintain consistent spacing between products.Cleated belts are the go-to solution for loose, wet, or bulk materials. They feed and move recyclable materials, aggregates, food products, and more.

What are plain cleated belts made of?
Our plain cleated belts are made of rubber, PVC, and other high-grade compounds that offer tear resistance, fatigue resistance, material stability, and maximum strength.
Key features
Our plain cleated chain belts include the following features:
- Optional C-channel reinforcement
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Belt cover compounds such as food-grade rubber, neoprene, nitrile, SBR, butyl, PVC, and polyurethane
- 1, 2, 3, and 4-ply belt thicknesses
- Longitudinal vulcanized, diagonal vulcanized, finger vulcanized, step vulcanization belt splicing, and other durable splice options
Cleated belts come in 6, 9, and 12-inch pitch options and belt widths up to 84 inches. Additional add-on options such as C-channel backing, sidewalls, and more.
