PVC Conveyor Belts

Q: What is the difference between B-series and W-series PVC belts?

B-series (black) are for general industrial use. W-series (white) are FDA-compliant for food contact with oil resistant compounds for meat, poultry, and produce.

Q: Can I use a CBS belt on a slider bed conveyor?

No. CBS belts have PVC on both surfaces creating too much friction. They are for live roller and bucket elevator only. Use FBS or COS for slider beds.

Q: Which PVC belt is best for bucket elevators?

CBS belts. B200 CBS for medium duty. B350 CBS and B450 CBS for heavy duty grain elevators — fire retardant, static conductive, OSHA compliant.

Q: What does PIW mean on PVC belts?

PIW is Pounds per Inch of Width, measuring tensile strength. Higher numbers (350, 450) support heavier loads. B120/B150 are medium duty, B350/B450 are heavy duty.

Q: Are PVC belts suitable for food processing with meat and poultry?

Yes, use W-series white belts. W120 COS Plus has enhanced animal and vegetable oil resistance for chicken and meat. For heavy-duty meat, consider OHGR rubber belts.

PVC interwoven conveyor belts for general purpose, food grade, incline, and bucket elevator applications. Texas Belting stocks black (B-series) and white (W-series) PVC belting in FBS, COS, and CBS configurations from 100 to 450 PIW — plus specialty PVC belts for distribution, checkout counters, and live roller systems.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Conveyor Belting

PVC conveyor belts feature tightly interwoven polyester carcasses that deliver high strength, low stretch, excellent lace retention, and resistance to fraying. Available in three cover configurations — FBS (Friction Both Sides) for slider beds and general use, COS (Cover One Side) with a smooth top and brushed bottom for low friction, and CBS (Cover Both Sides) for live roller and bucket elevator applications.

Our PVC belting comes in black (B-series) for general industrial use and white (W-series) for FDA-compliant food handling with oil resistant compounds for meat, poultry, and produce processing.

PVC Belt Cover Configuration Guide

PVC belts are available in three standard cover configurations. Each is designed for a specific type of conveyor system.

FBS

FBS — Friction Both Sides

Both top and bottom surfaces have an exposed friction finish. Best for slider bed conveyors, trash conveyors, and general industrial applications where grip is needed on both sides.

COS

COS — Cover One Side

Smooth PVC top cover for product contact, brushed bottom for lower coefficient of friction. Ideal for slider bed conveyors, food handling, recycling, and package conveying.

CBS

CBS — Cover Both Sides

PVC covers on both top and bottom surfaces. Designed for live roller conveyors and bucket elevators. Do NOT use on slider beds. Heavy-duty options are static conductive and fire retardant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between B-series and W-series PVC belts?▼

B-series (black) PVC belts are designed for general industrial use — recycling, stamping, package handling, and bucket elevators. W-series (white) PVC belts are FDA-compliant for food contact applications and feature oil resistant compounds for meat, poultry, and produce processing.

Can I use a CBS belt on a slider bed conveyor?▼

No. CBS (Cover Both Sides) belts have PVC on both surfaces, creating too much friction on a slider bed. They are designed exclusively for live roller conveyors and bucket elevator applications. For slider beds, use FBS or COS configurations.

Which PVC belt is best for bucket elevators?▼

For bucket elevators, use CBS belts. B200 CBS is a medium-duty option. For heavy-duty grain elevators, B350 CBS and B450 CBS are fire retardant, static conductive (less than 300 megohms per OSHA), and have good bolt retention for bucket mounting.

What does PIW mean on PVC belts?▼

The number in PVC belt names (120, 150, 200, 350, 450) represents the tensile strength in Pounds per Inch of Width (PIW). Higher PIW ratings support heavier loads and longer conveyor spans. B120 and B150 are medium-duty, while B350 and B450 are heavy-duty.

Are PVC belts suitable for food processing with meat and poultry?▼

Yes, but use W-series (white) belts specifically. W120 COS Plus has enhanced animal and vegetable oil resistance for chicken and meat. W120 COS Standard is for produce and general food where animal oil isn't present. For heavy-duty meat processing, consider OHGR rubber belts from our food grade line.
