Herringbone Conveyor Belt

Chevron Conveyor Belt / Herringbone Conveyor Belt

Key Feature: Features V-shaped (“chevron”) cleats on the belt surface.

Main Use: Designed for conveying bulk materials at steep inclines, preventing slippage.

Structure: Includes a carcass (fabric or steel cord), cover rubber, and vulcanized chevron cleats. Cleat design varies by application.

Key Applications: Mining, metallurgy, construction, agriculture, and ports for conveying loose materials at angles.

Advantages: Excellent for steep inclines, prevents material rollback, increases conveying capacity compared to flat belts in inclined applications.

Consideration: Higher cost and potentially more maintenance than flat belts; not ideal for very large, rigid items.

Essentially, chevron belts are specialized for angled transport of loose goods where regular flat belts would fail due to gravity.
