When conveying materials on inclines exceeding the natural angle of repose (the maximum incline angle at which loose material can remain stable without rolling, typically over 18°, though this varies by material type), material rollback becomes a problem on flat belts. The Chevron Conveyor Belt features molded, continuous chevron-shaped cleats on its cover. These protruding cleats effectively trap the material, preventing it from sliding backwards, thereby enabling steep-angle conveying and saving valuable space in transfer points and building design. The cleat height and pitch are designed according to the characteristics of the specific material being handled.
