Custom Elevator Belt Fabrication from Houston, TX

Texas Belting & Supply fabricates custom elevator belts with precision hole punching for bucket elevator systems across agriculture, mining, recycling, food processing, construction, and bulk material handling. Every belt is cut to your exact width and length, punched to your bucket bolt pattern, and spliced to your specification — no minimums, no stock sizes, no guesswork.

We carry SBR, nitrile, EPDM, neoprene, PVC, white nitrile (FDA), oil resistant, heat resistant (up to 400°F), fire retardant (MSHA approved), and roughtop compounds — with rubber, PVC, and FDA belt types available from stock at our Houston warehouse. Whether you need a 2-ply grain elevator belt or a heavy-duty 4-ply mining elevator belt, our team will match the right belt construction to your application and fabricate it ready to install.

What We Offer

Precision Hole Punching

Nine standard bolt-hole patterns (P1/B1 through P9/B8) for centered and staggered bucket configurations. Custom patterns available for non-standard bucket spacing. We punch holes to your exact diameter, center distances, and edge dimensions — matching any bucket manufacturer's bolt pattern.

Belt Compounds & Construction

SBR for general duty, nitrile for oil resistance, PVC for chemical and moisture resistance, white nitrile for FDA food contact, EPDM for heat and ozone, fire retardant for MSHA-regulated grain elevators, and roughtop for high-friction applications. Multi-ply constructions from 2 through 6 plies.

Splice & Fabrication Options

Plate fastener, overlap splice, butt splice, and clamp splice options for field installation or factory-endless fabrication. Every belt is slit to your required width, built to your overall length, and punched with your specific hole pattern before it ships.

Industries Served & Materials Conveyed

Our elevator belts are used in bucket elevator systems handling feed and grain, roofing granules, hot petroleum coke, gravel and aggregate, coal, silica sand, fertilizer, cement, wood chips, and biomass. We serve agriculture, quarries, foundries, recycling operations, power plants, construction sites, food processing facilities, and bulk terminal operations throughout the United States.

Static conductive belts are available for OSHA-compliant grain elevator applications (less than 300 megohms). Fire retardant and MSHA-approved compounds are in stock for regulated industries. FDA white nitrile is available for food-contact elevator systems.

Frequently Asked Questions — Elevator Belt Selection & Hole Punching

We fabricate elevator belts in SBR (general purpose), nitrile (oil resistant), EPDM (heat and ozone resistant), neoprene (flame resistant), PVC (chemical resistant), white nitrile (FDA food grade), oil resistant, heat resistant (continuous service up to 400°F), fire retardant (self-extinguishing, MSHA approved), and roughtop (high friction) compounds. Multi-ply constructions are available from 2 through 6 plies. Rubber, PVC, and FDA belt types are stocked at our Houston warehouse for fast turnaround.
We offer nine standard hole punch patterns designated P1/B1 through P9/B8, covering single-hole through eight-hole configurations in both centered and staggered bucket layouts. Centered patterns align bolt holes symmetrically across the belt width, while staggered patterns offset holes between rows for stronger bucket attachment on wider belts. Custom punch patterns beyond these nine standards can be accommodated — provide your bucket manufacturer's bolt pattern specifications and we will match it exactly.
For centered bucket configurations, you need dimensions A (hole centers), B (row centers), C (bucket centers), D (belt width), E (belt length), and F (edge to center of outside hole). Staggered configurations require an additional dimension G (center-to-center distance of inside holes for the offset row). You also need to specify the hole diameter and number of holes per bucket. See the dimension reference diagrams in the form above.
Four primary splice types are available: plate fasteners (bolted mechanical splice for easy field installation), overlap splice (belt ends overlapped and joined), butt splice (ends butted together with a hinge plate), and clamp splice (clamping bar system for quick belt changes). The best splice type depends on your conveyor configuration, belt tension, bucket weight, and maintenance requirements.
Fill out the selection form above with your belt type, width, length, number of plies, hole punch pattern, bucket configuration (centered or staggered), hole dimensions, and splice style. You can also email your specifications to sales@texasbelting.com, call us at 888-203-2358, or fax the completed PDF form to (713) 926-9422. We typically respond within one business day.
We stock rubber, PVC, and FDA elevator belt types in common widths at our Houston warehouse for fast turnaround. Every belt is custom fabricated to your exact specifications — slit to width, built to length, punched to your hole pattern, and spliced to your specification. No minimum order quantities. Non-stock compounds typically ship within 5–10 business days.
