for reliable material handling.
Chevron cleated belts improve the incline conveying of bulk, loose, or wet materials. The V-shaped cleat geometry creates enclosed pockets that capture and retain material along the belt, preventing rollback and reducing lateral migration on angles where a smooth belt would fail.

The primary selection variables for a chevron belt are profile, cleat height, and cleat spacing.
Open V and closed V profiles are the foundational options.
Leave a gap at the tip of the V, which allows liquid drainage and reduces carryback on wet or sticky materials.
Cleat height scales with incline angle and material size: 1–2″ for granular and light-bulk applications, 4–8″ for steep inclines and large aggregate. Taller cleats require adequate return path clearance and are not compatible with conveyors that have tight return geometry.
For wet, sticky, or compacting materials prone to carryback at the discharge end, try a herringbone cleated belt. It shares the same V-geometry but leaves the apex open for cleaner material release.
Vulcanized into the belt carcass during manufacturing. With no mechanical joint at the base, this is the best choice for high-load, high-cycle applications, abrasive materials, and anywhere cleat detachment would cause downstream damage or process interruption. Standard for chevron and herringbone patterns.
Bolted or bonded onto the belt after manufacturing. Worn or damaged cleats can be swapped in the field without pulling the belt. Tack-on and mechanically attached styles simplify maintenance and allow for quick field repairs on lower-intensity applications.
Cleat base cracking and delamination are often a symptom of the wrong attachment method for the application, not a belt quality issue.
The right belt compound depends on what the belt contacts and the operating environment.
Specify the operating environment at inquiry (temperature range, exposure to oils or chemicals, and any food contact requirements), and we’ll confirm compound compatibility across the full belt construction. See abrasion-resistant conveyor belts for guidance across belt types.
Corrugated sidewall belts add vulcanized corrugated walls along the belt edges, closing off chevron pockets and enabling near-vertical conveying angles. Center support ribs are available for long-span incline conveyors where belt sag between support points is a concern.
Gather the essential measurements before ordering to ensure a precise fit and reliable performance.
If you have documentation from the original belt, use those dimensions; worn belts stretch over time and will produce an undersized replacement if measured. Contact our engineering team if you need help selecting the right belt or determining the correct size.
Fluent designs and manufactures conveyors for recycling, aggregates, manufacturing, and other demanding industries. When you source chevron cleated belts from Fluent, you’re working with engineers who specify and run these belts in our own conveyors every day. Our selection guidance is grounded in real incline load behavior and belt-to-conveyor compatibility, not just catalog specs.
Whether you need a direct replacement for a worn chevron belt or are upgrading to a chevron configuration on an existing conveyor, our parts team can match your requirements.
For our flat idler conveyors, a go-to choice for general conveyance.
For our slider bed conveyors, a cost-efficient, light-duty conveyor solution.
For our trough idler conveyors, ideal for handling bulk materials.
For our trough slider bed conveyors, a light-duty, bulk-material solution.
For our roller chain conveyors, heavy-duty material handling solutions.
For asphalt milling machines, mobile screeners, and other equipment.
With crisscrossed fabric plies for exceptional tear resistance.
Attached or integrally molded cleats to prevent product rollback and material spillage.
Sidewalls and cleats are hot vulcanized to the belt for a durable connection.
