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.
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.
Largest Selection of Cleated Belt Conveyor Offerings
Dorner offers the largest selection of cleats for cleated belt systems, including different heights and cleat angles. Also available are unique sidewall belts that, when combined with cleats, form a product pocket on the belt that prevents product spillage. This endures more consistent and efficient movement for the product.
Wide Cleated Belt Widths
With cleated belts up to 24 inches in width and plastic chain cleated belts up to 36 inches in width, Dorner offers more options for larger product loads, ensuring the proper fit for every customer.
