Sidewall Conveyor Belt Cleat

QMH (Qingdao Quality Material Handling Co., Ltd.) specializes in high-angle material handling solutions. Our sidewall conveyor belt cleats are manufactured using a full range of European standard molds and advanced vulcanization processes. By utilizing special rubber compounds, QMH sidewall conveyor belt cleats provide reliable abrasion resistance and structural stability for industrial systems ranging from 0 to 90 degrees. Whether for mining, metallurgy, or waste processing, our cleats ensure efficient bulk material transport with minimal spill risk.

Features of QMH Sidewall Cleats

• European Standard Precision: Produced using European molds to ensure consistent geometry and compatibility with international conveyor systems.
• Hot Vulcanization Bonding: All cleats are installed via hot vulcanization technology, creating a high-strength molecular bond between the cleat and the base belt to prevent detachment.
• Wear-Resistant Compound: Formulated with high-grade natural rubber (sourced from Malaysia) and synthetic additives for prolonged service life in abrasive environments.
• High Lateral Stiffness: Designed to resist deformation under heavy loads, maintaining material pocket integrity during vertical lifting.
• Reinforcement Options: Available with fabric carcass or steel cord breaker layers to enhance impact resistance for heights exceeding 100mm.

Technical Specifications

The selection of sidewall conveyor belt cleats depends on the pulley diameter and the specific lifting requirements of the application.

Cleat Type Overview

1. Type C (Inclined)

Primarily used for conveying materials at moderate angles. The curved profile is designed to minimize material fallback while maintaining flexibility around smaller pulley diameters.

2. Type T (Standard)

The T-type cleat is suitable for light to medium-duty applications. It offers a vertical profile that maximizes the volume of material per pocket.

3. Type TC (High Capacity)

The most commonly used cleat in the QMH range. The "T-shape" combined with a "C-shape" incline provides maximum support for heavy materials and is the standard for steep-angle and vertical conveying.

4. Type TCS / TC-XS (Heavy Duty)

Specifically engineered for heavy-duty belts. These feature a steel cord breaker layer and are secured with stainless steel ladder bolts to handle extreme impact and high-volume vertical loads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the maximum angle for a sidewall belt with QMH cleats?

Our systems are designed to facilitate conveying at any angle from 0 to 90 degrees. For vertical lifting (90°), Type TC or TCS cleats are generally recommended.

How does QMH ensure the cleats don't peel off?

Unlike cold-bonded alternatives, we use secondary hot vulcanization. This process fuses the sidewall conveyor belt cleat to the base belt at a molecular level, ensuring the highest possible adhesion strength.

Can these cleats handle high-temperature materials?

Yes. While our standard cleats use a high-wear natural rubber base, we offer specialized heat-resistant compounds for applications involving hot ash or foundry materials.
