Lower Maintenance Costs and Increase Throughput with Cleated Conveyor Belts
Cleated conveyor belts are necessary in a variety of heavy-duty incline applications in order to move product efficiently throughout the manufacturing process. Historically, welded or glued cleats have been the weakest spot on a belt and often a frustrating source for failure. As the cleats begin to separate from the belt, product now cascades down the conveyor and before you know it, it’s time for a costly replacement.
Sparks Belting Super Cleat Belt
Sparks Belting invented the Super Cleat belt to eliminate the above problem. As you can see, the cleat is integral to the base of the belt. There are no seams for product or contamination to attack the cleat at the base. These cleats are highly successful in recycling, woodworking, food processing, plastic manufacturing, and general industrial applications where strength and flexibility are a must.
Food Grade
The food processing industry has adopted strict regulations with rubber belting in recent years. Modular belting is not always an option because the rigid and sharp cleats often damage fragile fruits and vegetables. The forgiving nature and brute strength of a Super Cleat is undeniable. In order to satisfy food inspectors we have developed a urethane-capped edge for the most sanitary incline conveyor applications.
Traditional thermoweld PVC and Urethane cleats with the large base have proven ineffective in today’s demanding heavy-duty applications. Long-term large cost savings are very realistic as you can easily expect your belt life to increase four-fold in most applications.
