Engineered to the site
Sidewalls, cleats or nubs
Outside the material path
Applications
Wherever bulk material has to climb.
Examples from the brochure span fixed installations, transloading and OEM belting applications. Each system is specified for its material and site; these examples are not universal capacity or compatibility ratings.
Frac sand
Steep-incline feed splitting into quad storage silos.
Fertilizer
Ammonium sulfate in a rail-to-truck handling application.
Salt
Sidewall conveyors feeding an elevated process platform.
Aggregate
Molded cleats carrying material through a steep lift.
Coal
Rail-to-truck loading.
Pebble lime
Truck unloading.
Trenching
CamFlex belting on a trencher discharge handling rock, impact and abrasion.
Grain
Enclosed conveying with a corrugated sidewall belt.
Cement
Rail-to-truck transloading into bulk trailers.
Construction
Molded. Not glued.
The belt is the foundation of the system. Cambelt molds the belt, sidewalls and cleats or nubs together in its own press—not as separate parts bonded to a flat belt.
Guaranteed against delamination.
One molded construction removes the glued-on joints between the belt and its sidewalls, cleats or nubs. The resulting belt is guaranteed against delamination.
1 piece
Belt and molded components
Zero
Glued-on sidewalls or cleats
Patented bearing protection
GritLock sealed external bearings
Cambelt mounts bearings outside the material path and uses patented GritLock debris-sealing technology to help protect critical bearing seals from grit and dust.
- External placement, away from the material stream
- Debris protection for abrasive material environments
- No grease contaminating product inside the conveyor
- An added line of defense as bearing seals wear
- Built-in puller slot for bearing replacement
Price vs. cost
Compare the cost to own—not just the bid.
Belt replacements, bearing service and unplanned downtime recur throughout a conveyor's working life. Evaluate these costs alongside the initial price.
Belt construction
Bonded-on sidewalls and cleats introduce joints into the belt assembly.
Belt, sidewalls and cleats or nubs molded as one piece, guaranteed against delamination.
Bearing protection
Bearing placement and sealing determine exposure to dust and fines.
External bearings outside the material path, with patented GritLock debris-sealing protection.
Throughput
Compare capacity at your material, incline and operating speed—not belt speed alone.
Belt selection and drive design engineered around the required duty. Confirm application capacity with Cambelt engineering.
Footprint
A shallow incline can require a longer run, more structure and more site area.
Straight, L and Z configurations designed around the inlet, destination and available space.
Review annual downtime hours × cost per hour, belt replacements × replacement cost, and bearing replacements × replacement cost with your Cambelt representative.
System engineering
A layout built around the material path.
Define the inlet, discharge elevation, available footprint and required capacity. Cambelt engineers the belt and the system together, with drawings for review before fabrication.
Straight, L or Z
Choose a continuous incline or horizontal-to-incline transitions around the site's geometry. L and Z layouts use engineered hold-down disc assemblies through belt transitions.
Open or enclosed
Open or enclosed construction is selected for the application. Enclosures support dust and fume containment where process or environmental controls require it.
Cleaning & maintenance
Cleated sidewall belts require suitable cleaning methods rather than conventional scrapers. Rotary belt thumpers or air knives can help remove carryback.
3D layouts, general-arrangement drawings, structural and mechanical design, and belt compound and drive selection are reviewed against your operating requirements.
Belt selection
The belt that fits the duty.
The brochure highlights four product families. Discuss the appropriate construction with engineering rather than selecting by incline alone.
Before you compare quotes
Ask every supplier these five questions.
01Are the sidewalls and cleats molded into the belt, or bonded on?
Cambelt molds its sidewall belt components as one piece, guaranteed against delamination.
02Are the bearings outside the material path—and protected against debris?
Cambelt uses external bearings and patented GritLock debris-sealing technology.
03Can the conveyor fit my incline and layout?
Straight, L and Z configurations are engineered to the site. Discuss inclines up to 70° with Cambelt engineering; suitability depends on the material and application.
04Can you show belt life from operations like mine?
Ask Cambelt for references relevant to your material and operating conditions.
05Where is the system designed and built?
Cambelt designs, fabricates and assembles in Salt Lake City, Utah, with manufacturing roots dating to 1960.
