Conveyor Belt Parts, Components and Accessories

Common conveyor belt types include modular plastic belting (interlocking modules for flexible layouts), steel hinged or apron belting (heavy-duty, high-load applications), and wire mesh belting (permits air/water circulation for food and industrial processing). Each type suits different load capacities, environments.

A conveyor roller typically consists of a shaft, an outer tube, bearings, end flanges, and often a lagging or PU sleeve for grip and wear resistance. Additional options include antistatic elements and noise-reduction tubes, allowing rollers to be customized for specific load, speed, and environmental requirements.

Conveyor chains are manufactured from cast steel, forged steel, heat-treated steel alloys, and stainless steel, depending on the application. Heat-treated and forged chains offer higher load capacity and resistance to bending, while stainless and corrosion-resistant alloys are used in high-humidity, or high-temperature kiln environments.

Bucket style selection depends on the material handled and required capacity. AA and CC style buckets suit general grain and aggregate handling, while continuous style buckets minimize spillage at higher speeds. Material choice, mounting hardware, and resistance to abrasion or corrosion should also match your specific operating environment.

Technical support includes engineering documentation such as inspection procedures, lubrication and load rating guides, maintenance checklists, and troubleshooting resources. Sales and technical teams also assist with product identification and selection to reduce downtime and ensure chains are installed and maintained correctly for maximum service life.
