At CHÍA, we design custom conveyor systems tailored to all types of industrial installations. However, the choice of conveyor belt is just as important as the structure itself, as it directly affects the correct operation of the system and its suitability for the characteristics of the material being transported.
Below, we review the main types of conveyor belts that can be incorporated into our conveying systems and their applications depending on the type of material, operating environment and specific requirements:
Smooth belt
This is the most common option for the horizontal conveying of solid materials. It provides uniform and stable movement, making it ideal for bulk products that do not require inclined transport.
Cleated belt
Designed for conveying materials on an incline, thanks to the cleats that prevent the product from slipping. It is ideal for lines where the load needs to be elevated while maintaining safety and a stable material flow.
Oil-resistant belt
Suitable for conveying greasy products or materials containing oils. This type of belt is manufactured from materials resistant to oils, fats and lubricants, helping to extend its service life and prevent deformation.
Heat-resistant belt
Recommended for products handled at high temperatures, such as in thermal processes or industrial treatment lines. It withstands heat without losing its mechanical properties.
Abrasion-resistant belt
Particularly useful in sectors such as mining and aggregates, where the transported product can cause significant wear. This type of belt is designed to withstand continuous friction without deterioration, ensuring durability and reliable operation.
Conveyor belts with extraction systems: a sustainable solution for the olive oil industry
In the olive oil industry, where the handling of bulk solid materials can generate dust, we offer conveyor belts equipped with extraction systems to help minimise environmental impact. These belts are used in our environmentally friendly conveyor systems, which capture particles generated during transport and improve operating conditions.
Which conveyor belt is right for your installation?
Each type of belt is designed to meet a specific requirement. That is why, at CHÍA, we analyse your production process, the type of material, the inclination, the operating environment and the specific requirements of your plant in order to design a fully customised solution.
