High-Efficiency Sidewall Conveyor Belt Production Line for Steep Incline Belts

Product Overview: What is a Sidewall Conveyor Belt?

A sidewall conveyor belt (also known as a steep incline conveyor belt or cleated belt) is designed to transport materials at steep angles (up to 90°) without the need for multiple transfer points. It consists of a flat base belt, corrugated sidewalls (skirts) on both edges, and horizontal cleats (crossbars) between the sidewalls.

Our Sidewall Conveyor Belt Production Line provides a complete turnkey solution for manufacturing these specialized belts. From base belt preparation to sidewall extrusion, cleat splicing, and final vulcanization, our line ensures high bonding strength and precise dimensional control.

Core Machinery Included in the Production Line

A complete sidewall belt production line typically consists of the following integrated machines:

1. Base Belt Making Section:

• Fabric core or steel cord base belt building and vulcanizing.

2. Sidewall (Skirt) Extrusion Machine:

• Rubber extruder with custom die to continuously extrude the corrugated sidewall profile.

3. Cleat Forming and Cutting Machine:

• Produces the transverse cleats (T-type, C-type, or custom shapes) and cuts them to the required length.

4. High-Frequency / Hot Air Splicing Machine:

• For pre-treating and bonding the sidewall and cleats to the base belt before final vulcanization.

5. Sidewall Vulcanizing Press:

• Specialized multi-opening or single-opening hydraulic presses with custom molds to co-vulcanize the base belt, sidewall, and cleats into a single high-strength unit.

6. Cooling and Rolling System:

• Prevents deformation and ensures the finished belt rolls neatly.

Key Technical Advantages of Our Line

• High Bonding Strength: Our proprietary vulcanization process ensures the sidewall and cleats are firmly bonded to the base belt, preventing peeling even under heavy loads.

• Precise Sidewall Extrusion: The cold feed extruder ensures uniform density and precise dimensions of the corrugated sidewall, eliminating defects like bubbles or uneven heights.

• Custom Cleat Molds: We design and manufacture the vulcanizing molds based on your exact cleat pattern (e.g., 70mm, 100mm, 120mm heights, T-shape or C-shape).

• Automated Temperature Control: The vulcanizing press is equipped with PLC temperature control to ensure optimal curing conditions for both the thick sidewalls and the thin base belt.

• High Flexibility: The line can be adapted to produce various belt widths (e.g., 500mm to 2000mm) and different sidewall heights.
