Commonly Used Patterned Conveyor Belts
» Herringbone Pattern
Feature

There are "human" shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body. The patterns can be open or closed, and each pattern can be divided into three types: high, medium, and low.

Purpose

Suitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 40°, as well as bagged materials.

Striped Pattern
Feature

There are strip-shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body, divided into three types: high, medium, and low. Each type can be arranged in sparse, dense, and other forms.

Purpose

Suitable for horizontal conveying of packaging materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 30°. If the groove is formed, it can replace the herringbone pattern.

Granular Pattern
Feature

There are granular patterns on the belt surface that protrude from or are embedded in the belt body. The pits can also be made into square holes, edges, and cloth patterns.

Purpose

Convex patterns: suitable for soft packaging or materials requiring gripping force (e.g., cardboard boxes).
Concave patterns: suitable for granular materials with inclination ≤ 45°.

🌀 Fan-Shaped Pattern
Feature

There are semi-circular (or 1/4 circular) patterns on the belt surface. When the tape is grooved, the pattern is intertwined into a fan-shaped or semi-circular shape — a high pattern category.

Purpose

Suitable for conveying powder, particles, and block materials with a large inclination angle of ≤ 45°.

🔍 Other Available Pattern Types:
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. — suitable for different performance requirements across various industrial environments.

Composition and Variety

🛠️ Compose

The patterned conveyor belt consists of two parts: the base belt and the patterned belt.

📋 Common Varieties

Due to different materials being transported and varying inclination angles, the required pattern shape and height differ. Commonly used varieties include: herringbone, octagonal, fishbone, U-shaped, cylindrical, pockmarked, etc. — or designed per user requirements — suitable for powder, granular, and block materials with an inclination angle of less than 30°.

🛡️ Maintenance of Patterned Conveyor Belts

The patterned conveyor belt should be kept clean during transportation and storage, avoiding direct sunlight or rain and snow immersion, and preventing contact with acids, alkalis, oils, or organic solvents. Maintain a distance of at least one meter from heating devices.

During storage, maintain warehouse temperature between 18–40 °C and relative humidity between 50–80%.

The conveyor belt must be placed in rolls and not folded during storage. Flip once every quarter.

Conveyor belts of different types and specifications should not be used together; adhesive bonding is recommended for joints.

The type, structure, specifications, and number of layers should be selected reasonably according to usage conditions.

Running speed should generally not exceed 2.5 m/s. For materials with large block size and high wear, or fixed unloading devices, low speed should be used.

The relationship between the transmission drum diameter and the fabric layer, the matching of drums, and the groove angle of idlers should be selected per conveyor design regulations.

Feeding direction should follow the belt running direction. Use a chute to minimize material falling distance; shorten roller spacing at the receiving section and use buffer rollers to prevent leakage. Equip the belt with a soft, moderate material-blocking plate to avoid scratching the belt surface.


Precautions

With the popularization of conveyor belts in industrial production, multiple varieties, high performance, lightweight, multifunctional design, and long service life are key concerns for manufacturers. Correct use of conveyor belts is particularly important. The following precautions should be taken:

  • 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. Pay attention to lubrication of moving parts, but do not apply oil to 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 further expansion.
  • 5
    Avoid the conveyor belt from being blocked by the frame, pillars, or block materials to prevent collision, breakage, and tearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a patterned conveyor belt and how does it differ from a standard conveyor belt?
A patterned conveyor belt features a specially designed patterned covering adhesive on its working surface, while the non-working surface uses a flat covering adhesive and belt core — just like a standard conveyor belt. The key difference is the raised or embossed patterns on the working surface, which prevent materials from sliding down during inclined conveying at angles up to 40°.
What inclination angles are patterned conveyor belts suitable for?
Different pattern types support different inclination ranges. Herringbone and granular (concave) patterns support up to ≤ 40–45°, striped patterns are suited for ≤ 30°, and fan-shaped patterns handle inclinations up to ≤ 45°. The standard general range for patterned conveyor belts is 0–40°.
What materials can be transported using patterned conveyor belts?
Patterned conveyor belts are versatile and can transport a wide range of materials including powders, granules, small block materials, bagged goods, soft packaging, and cardboard boxes. The appropriate pattern type should be selected based on the material's characteristics and required inclination angle.
How should patterned conveyor belts be stored to ensure longevity?
Store patterned conveyor belts in a clean environment away from direct sunlight, rain, snow, and chemicals such as acids, alkalis, oils, and organic solvents. Maintain a warehouse temperature of 18–40 °C and relative humidity of 50–80%. Always store belts in rolls — never fold them — and flip them once every quarter to prevent deformation.
Can patterned conveyor belts of different types 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 this can cause uneven tension, premature wear, and operational failures. If joining is necessary, adhesive bonding is the recommended method for connecting belt sections.
What is the recommended maximum running 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 block materials, high abrasion, or fixed unloading devices, a lower operating speed is recommended to extend belt life and reduce wear.
