Used Cleated Belt Conveyor

Cleated belt conveyors are fitted with raised cleats or dividers making them ideal for moving product and material between two different levels. The cleats control materials on a horizontal or inclined conveyor with side guards that prevent product from falling. Cleats can be adjustable or fixed, and are available in steel, plastic, or rubber. With an improved grip they will help with accuracy and performance of one’s conveyor system. This conveyor type is made for long-lasting durability making it ideal for harsh environments and able to withstand daily ware and tear. Cleated conveyors are perfect for transporting loose items in bulk because they can keep materials separated while being carried throughout a facility. Often, you’ll see these conveyors used in agriculture, food or beverage handling, mining, warehousing, and recycling just to name a few industries that use this style of conveyor.

About Cleated Belt Conveyors

Used cleated belt conveyor manufacturers include Buschman, Mathews, Rapistan, and Speedway. American Surplus stocks these brands along with Hytrol, Ermanco, ACSI, and Interlake.

A used cleated belt conveyor is a versatile and practical solution for businesses seeking to optimize their material handling processes while keeping costs in check. Cleated belt conveyors, equipped with elevated sections or cleats along the belt surface, are specifically designed to handle inclined or declined transport of bulk materials. When considering a used cleated belt conveyor, several key advantages come to the forefront.

One of the primary benefits of acquiring a used cleated belt conveyor is cost savings. Opting for a pre-owned conveyor system can significantly reduce upfront investment, allowing businesses to allocate resources to other essential areas of their operations. Despite being used, these conveyors are often well-maintained and can offer reliable performance comparable to newer units.

Additionally, used cleated belt conveyors can be a sustainable choice, contributing to environmental efforts by extending the lifecycle of equipment and reducing waste. By repurposing and refurbishing conveyors, businesses help minimize their carbon footprint while benefiting from tried-and-true technology.

Cleated conveyor may also be referred to as: incline cleated belt conveyor, conveyor for bulk material, and incline conveyor with hopper.

Cleated belt conveyor helps control product on an incline or decline by adding cleats to the conveyor line that the product can rest against. Belt cleats can come in a variety of styles and spacing, and can be made from metal, rubber, or plastic. The type of cleat you decide on depends on what kind of product you are moving and the elevation change. Sidewalls are fairly common with this style of conveyor, but some cleated belt conveyors only contain sidewalls as an additional accessory.

Cleated belt conveyors are ideal for moving small or delicate parts between different levels in a tight warehouse environment. Cleated belt conveyors are similar to trash conveyors, and the only major difference is the cleats included on the belt. This allows for it to handle steeper inclines and declines without risk of the product losing position on the conveyor. Used cleated belt conveyors are common in the food industry to gently transport food products.

A used cleated belt conveyor offers a cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient solution for businesses aiming to enhance their material handling capabilities. By considering a pre-owned conveyor system, companies can enjoy the benefits of reduced investment costs, quicker integration, and minimized environmental impact, all while maintaining high standards of performance and productivity.
