Fabrication

Lightweight belts made to your specification

Request guides, cleats, sidewalls, perforations or a specific splice. We review the belt construction, operating conditions and installation access before confirming a configuration.

Fabrication options

Confirm which options are available for the proposed belt and conveyor geometry.

Guide profiles

Specify profile shape, dimensions and position across the belt. Include the guide groove dimensions and note any reverse bends.

Cleats

Specify cleat shape, height, pitch, direction of travel and distance from each belt edge. Include the angle of incline and what the belt carries.

Sidewalls

Specify wall height, edge offset and the clear width between walls. Show how the sidewalls meet the cleats, if both are required.

Perforation

Show hole size, pitch, pattern and edge margins on a drawing. Identify the direction of travel, the splice position and any areas that must remain unperforated.

Splicing

Share your preferred splice, smallest pulley diameter and installation access. Review suitable splice or mechanical fastener options for the specific belt.

Endless and open belts

Request a closed-loop belt or an open length. For an open belt, specify whether the ends need preparation for joining on site.

What to include in your drawing

A marked-up sketch is a starting point. Confirm final dimensions and tolerances on the drawing used for the order.

Describe your belt
  • Overall belt width and length, units, measurement method and tolerances
  • Top surface, underside and direction of travel
  • Position and dimensions of guides, cleats, walls or hole patterns
  • Smallest pulleys, reverse bends and any transfer clearances
  • Endless or open format, splice requirements and installation access
