How to Choose the Right General Purpose Belt

Selecting the correct conveyor belt depends on your application, material, and operating conditions. Here are the key factors to consider.

⚙️

Material & Cover Type

Rubber for general conveying, PVC for chemical and moisture resistance, neoprene for oil exposure, urethane for abrasion from metal or glass.

📐

Surface Texture

Smooth for flat packages, rough top for inclines, diamond pattern for steep angles, slider top for accumulation, and Z-cleat for bulk materials.

🔥

Operating Environment

Consider temperature exposure, oil/grease contact, moisture, food-contact requirements (FDA/USDA), fire resistance, and anti-static needs.

📏

Ply Count & Thickness

Light-duty applications need 2–3 ply. Heavier loads and longer conveyor spans require 4–6+ ply for tensile strength and load support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is general purpose conveyor belting?▼

General purpose conveyor belting refers to multi-ply rubber, PVC, neoprene, urethane, and nylon belts designed for a wide range of industrial conveying applications. These belts handle everything from light package handling to heavy bulk materials, across industries including manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, recycling, and distribution.

What belt material is best for oily environments?▼

For oily environments, neoprene belts (like our Brown Neoprene FBS) or OGHR (Oil, Grease, Heat Resistant) rubber belts are the best choices. PVC belts can degrade when exposed to petroleum-based oils, while neoprene and OGHR rubber maintain their integrity.

Which belt has the highest friction for steep inclines?▼

Diamond Top / Wedgegrip belting has the highest coefficient of friction in our lineup, making it ideal for the steepest incline and decline applications. Rough Top belting is also a popular choice for moderate inclines and comes in both rubber and PVC.

Do you carry FDA-approved belts for food processing?▼

Yes. Our Tan FDA Belting and Meat Cleat Belting are both designed for food contact applications. We also carry a full line of dedicated food-grade belting for more stringent sanitation requirements.

Can all belts be cut to custom lengths?▼

Yes. Every belt we carry is available cut to your exact length specifications. We also offer splicing, lacing, V-guide attachment, and other custom fabrication services.
