Introduction
A patterned conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt composed of a patterned covering adhesive on the working surface and a flat covering adhesive and belt core on the non working surface.

Features: Suitable for conveying materials with an inclination angle of 0–40°, preventing material from sliding down.
Commonly Used Patterned Conveyor Belts
Herringbone Pattern
Feature "Human"-shaped patterns raised above the belt surface. Can be open or closed, and divided into high, medium, and low types.
Purpose Suitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 40°, as well as bagged materials.
Striped Pattern
Feature Strip-shaped patterns raised above the belt surface, divided into high, medium, and low types, with sparse or dense arrangement options.
Purpose Suitable for horizontal conveying of packaging materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 30°. Can replace herringbone pattern when grooved.
Granular Pattern
Feature Granular patterns that protrude from or are embedded in the belt body. Pits can also be made into square holes, edges, and cloth patterns.
Purpose Convex patterns: ideal for soft packaging or gripping materials (e.g., cardboard boxes). Concave patterns: suitable for granular materials at ≤ 45°.
Fan-Shaped Pattern
Feature Semi-circular (or 1/4 circular) patterns on the belt surface. When grooved, patterns intertwine into a fan-shaped or semi-circular form. High pattern category.
Purpose Suitable for conveying powder, particles, and block materials with a large inclination angle of ≤ 45°.
⚙️ Additional Pattern Varieties Available:
Lawn patterns, fishbone patterns, diamond grid patterns, cross patterns, mesh patterns, inverted triangle patterns, horseshoe patterns, sawtooth patterns, small dot patterns, diamond patterns, snake skin patterns, cloth patterns, large frustum patterns, wave patterns, washboard patterns, straight patterns, golf patterns, large grid patterns, matte patterns, coarse texture patterns, grid patterns, etc. — all suitable for different performance requirements across various industrial environments.
Precautions
With the popularization of conveyor belts in industrial production, multiple varieties, high performance, lightweight, multifunctional design, and long service life are key areas of concern. The correct use of conveyor belts in industrial settings is particularly important.
-
1
Avoid the roller being covered by material, which may cause ineffective rotation. Prevent material leakage from getting stuck between the drum and the tape. Ensure moving parts are lubricated, but do not oil the conveyor belt itself.
-
2
Prevent the conveyor belt from starting under load.
-
3
If the conveyor belt deviates, take timely corrective measures.
-
4
When local damage is found on the conveyor belt, use artificial cotton for timely repair to prevent expansion.
-
5
Avoid the conveyor belt from being blocked by frames, pillars, or block materials to prevent collision, breakage, and tearing.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is a patterned conveyor belt and how does it differ from a standard flat belt?
A patterned conveyor belt features a raised or textured surface pattern on its working face, which prevents materials from sliding back during inclined conveying. Unlike standard flat belts, it is specifically designed for inclination angles up to 40°–45° depending on the pattern type, making it ideal for transporting powder, granular, block, and packaged materials on slopes.
QWhat pattern types are available and which one should I choose?
Common pattern types include herringbone (≤40°), striped (≤30°), granular (convex or concave, ≤45°), and fan-shaped (≤45°). The best choice depends on your material type, inclination angle, and conveying requirements. For powder and granular materials at steep angles, fan-shaped or granular patterns are recommended. For packaged goods, herringbone or striped patterns are preferred. Custom patterns can also be designed per your specifications.
QWhat are the standard bandwidth and pattern height options?
Standard bandwidth ranges from 300 mm to 800 mm. Pattern heights are available in 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm. Both dimensions can be customized based on the customer's application requirements and the material being conveyed.
QHow should patterned conveyor belts be stored properly?
Store patterned conveyor belts in rolls — never fold them. The storage environment should maintain a temperature of 18–40°C and relative humidity of 50–80%. Keep belts away from direct sunlight, rain, snow, and chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and oils. Maintain at least 1 meter from heat sources, and rotate the rolls once every quarter to prevent deformation.
QWhat is the recommended maximum operating speed for a patterned conveyor belt?
The running speed of a patterned conveyor belt should generally not exceed 2.5 meters per second. For applications involving large, abrasive materials or fixed unloading devices, a lower operating speed is recommended to minimize belt wear, reduce material impact, and extend the service life of both the belt and mechanical components.
QCan different types of patterned conveyor belts be used together in the same system?
No. Conveyor belts of different types and specifications should not be used together in the same system, as differences in elasticity, thickness, and tension could lead to uneven load distribution, misalignment, and premature belt failure. When joining sections, adhesive bonding is recommended over mechanical fasteners for the most secure and compatible connection.
