What are cleats on a conveyor belt?
Cleats are raised sections on the belt that help carry or separate products, especially on incline conveyors.
Conveyor type selection
Cleated belt conveyors use raised flights or cleats to help move products up an incline or maintain spacing on the belt.

Planning support
The cleat design depends on product size, product stability, incline angle and whether the product can tolerate contact with the cleats.
Cleated conveyors are often considered when moving products between different heights or feeding hoppers, packing benches or machine inlets.
A good quote needs the start height, discharge height, available run length and product details.
