 Belt Conveyors: Cleated Conveyor Systems
About Cleated Belt Conveyors:

Cleated belt conveyors are commonly used to control product on a horizontal or inclined conveyor. The key attributes for cleated conveyors are the accuracy of the cleat spacing and durability of the cleat in the application. Dorner uses proprietary in-house processes to attach cleats to the belting material. The customer is ensured accurate spacing and durability of the cleat to belt interface.

Cleats are applied to the conveyor belt at any spacing and in a variety of heights and cutouts.

  • Contains small parts for elevation changes.
  • Creates pockets for controlled separation of product.
  • Available in urethane belt and plastic chain styles.
  • Fixed guides or integral sidewalls are available. 

Cleated Belt Conveyors: The Dorner Advantage

Engineered Process
Dorner has engineered a unique process that uses high frequency to welds the cleats onto the belt to guarantee the quality of the bond. Controlling the quality prevents cleat breakage and tear off for the customer, resulting in a stronger, longer lasting cleated belt.
