Sidewall Belts for the Steel Industry | Our Products

Sidewall belts are used for many different conveyor configurations and bulk material profiles in the steel industry. Instead of moving materials up long gradual inclines like conventional trough belts, sidewall conveyors run straight up to save space and lower initial capital costs.

Each sidewall belt uses a cross-rigid design to resist lateral deflection at the upturn and downturn bends. The belts can be made using several different fabrications depending on application requirements:

• Fabric (EE/EP) carcass with low-stretch monofilament cross rigid plies for standard applications.
• Fabric (EE/EP) carcass with steel cross-rigid plies for more demanding applications.
• Steel cables with steel cross-rigid plies for the toughest applications where tension demands exceed what a fabric carcass can tolerate.

The average sidewall belt ranges from 24” to 48” wide with the sidewalls themselves being 3” to 10” tall. Sidewall belt conveyors typically run 30 ft. to 200 ft. vertically at incline angles ranging from 60° to 90°. Common applications include DRI furnace feed, truck dump to silo feed and silo to furnace feed.

What are side walls for?

Corrugated sidewall conveyor belt(de,ru,fr)s serve as a barrier to prevent materials from slipping off the belt, making them perfect for conveying products on inclines or declines. The flexible design of the corrugated sidewalls works well with both small and large pulley diameters.

Where are side walls used?

Conveyor belts with sidewalls are widely used in industries that require materials to be transported at steep angles, as the sidewalls help prevent spillage. Common applications include agriculture for moving grains, construction for materials like sand or gravel, recycling and waste management, food processing for items like grains and nuts, and manufacturing in assembly lines. These belts are particularly valuable in spaces where vertical or inclined transport is necessary due to space limitations.
