Heavyweight DUROWALL™ Sidewall Solutions

Innovative Material Handling

Proven over four decades, our exclusive heavyweight Durowall sidewall sizing program engineers belts for any system.

Mills, smelters and foundries have been proving grounds for our heavyweight Durowall belts, with the thousands of corrugated sidewall belts in use today as evidence they work hard and tough. Supported by experienced and skilled teams – including manufacturing, engineering, field services, product specialists and a nationwide salesforce – we work with customers to find the right solutions for their heavy-duty applications.

Popular heavyweight sidewall conveyor belt applications include:

Mining and cement
Power generation
Wastewater treatment
Recycling
Tunneling
Steel manufacturing

Fabrication Options

Cross-Rigid Base Belting

Belting components for lightweight are attached to base belts by hot air, high frequency (HF) welding, conventionally, or hot bonded for rubber components. The base belts are engineered to provide the features needed for maximum performance — transverse stiffness prevents bowing at conveyor transition/change of direction points, while also remaining flexible in the longitudinal direction to negotiate small pulleys.

Heavy-Duty Cross-Rigid Belting

Corrugated Sidewall

Polyurethane corrugated sidewalls are available for food-grade requirements, and provide consistent dependability. Black rubber sidewalls are used when more durability is needed or in applications that require a more robust construction.

Cleating

Cleats are used to convey materials up an incline or prevent product rollback, as well as to create separation between the product or material being conveyed. Other names for cleats include: flights, lugs, and profiles. We have the cleat styles and patterns to fit your application, available in many sizes, styles, and colors. For lightweight belting, this includes the following cleat options:

T-cleat for most incline needs
C-cleat (scoop cleat) for steeper angles
Thin line cleats for smaller pulley diameters and lower tonnages

Cleat Options

Whether your corrugated sidewall project is new or existing, horizontal or vertical, Motion Conveyance Solutions will find the right combination of sidewall, cleats, and belting needed for your application. We offer two types of sidewall belting: conventional and hot vulcanized.

Conventional:

State-of-the-art hydraulic presses apply consistent and uniform pressure to ensure high adhesion levels between corrugated sidewall bases and belt covers
Automated precision buffing machines grind sidewalls and belt covers to maximize component bond strengths
Experienced technicians fabricate every belt to ISO standards

Hot Bonded

Ideal for applications where a higher level of sidewall adhesion is required
High-temperature environments
Side-loading conveyors where material impacts sidewall first
Hard-to-access conveyors where elevated adhesion values serve as an economical insurance policy
