Efficient bulk material handling is a critical requirement across industries such as mining, cement, ports, steel processing, agriculture, fertilizer production, recycling, and energy generation. As facilities continue to optimize material transportation processes, the need for conveyor systems capable of handling steep inclines and complex layouts has increased significantly.

A sidewall belt conveyor provides an effective solution for moving materials horizontally, vertically, and on steep inclines while maximizing space utilization. Unlike conventional conveyor systems, a sidewall conveyor belt is specifically designed to transport materials at higher angles, helping facilities reduce transfer points and improve conveying efficiency.

At Monster Belting, we have been manufacturing sidewall conveyor belts for two decades, supplying customized solutions for industries that require reliable and efficient material handling systems. Understanding sidewall belt conveyor design is essential for engineers, procurement teams, and project managers responsible for selecting the right conveyor system for their applications.

Product Advantages

SBR Rubber Cover, Excellent Wear Resistance for Coal Handling

Formulated with high-quality SBR styrene-butadiene rubber, the cover boasts outstanding anti-abrasion, anti-aging and anti-fatigue properties. It can cope with the long-term scouring and friction of lump coal, coal powder and mixed coal materials, effectively delaying rubber aging and surface wear. It adapts to conventional indoor and semi-outdoor coal feeding environments, with stable physical properties and no softening or hardening failure under normal temperature working conditions, fully meeting the daily operation requirements of coal feeders.

Integrated Molded Edge, Anti-tear & Anti-deviation

Built-in Molded Edge (molded height 2) is formed by integral vulcanization, different from traditional cut edges or glued edges. The integrated structure eliminates edge cracking, delamination and fraying caused by long-term friction and deviation. It greatly enhances the lateral rigidity of the belt, effectively restrains belt deviation during high-speed operation of the coal feeder, reduces maintenance frequency, and extends the overall service life of the belt.

Matched Flexco RS187S Alligator Fastener, Reliable Splicing & Easy Installation

Equipped with original Flexco RS187S medium-duty stainless steel Alligator staple fastener, a mainstream mechanical splicing solution for medium-load conveyor belts worldwideFlexco China ZH:

Stainless steel material: Anti-rust and anti-corrosion, adapting to humid and dusty coal industry environments, avoiding fastener rust and failure;
Nylon coated stranded cable: Ball and bullet type hinge pin with nylon coating reduces friction, prevents scratching the roller and belt, and operates silently and smoothly;
One-piece fastener strip: Pre-installed staples simplify on-site installation, shorten equipment downtime, and the splice is low-profile without hanging materials;
Supporting flanges: Auxiliary positioning to ensure the firm combination between the fastener and the belt, no loosening or tripping during reciprocating operation of the coal feeder.The fastener is specially designed for belts with a thickness of 4.8–6.4 mm, with a minimum applicable pulley diameter of 102 mm, which is perfectly matched with the operating parameters of this coal feeder belt, and the splicing strength reaches the standard of the belt body.
