Pattern Top Conveyor Belting

IBT offers a comprehensive range of grain belt pattern profiles to help you achieve optimum performance. All profiles are integrally molded into the belt.

Crescent Top Belting: The small U-pattern is ideal for conveying fine materials.
Chevron Top Belting: The small V-pattern is ideal for conveying fine materials.
Z-Top Belting: Longitudinal continuous robust Z-pattern for conveying all grain and granular fertilizer products.
Continuous Chevron Belting: The triangular continuous chevron also makes this pattern an excellent choice for efficient high-incline tube-style conveyors.
Mini-Bite Belting: Ideal for handling fine bulk materials such as grain, nut shells, and sawdust. Typically used in grain pile radial stacker conveying applications.
V-Cleat Belting: The Wide V pattern allows for product traction and exceptional wear resistance for moderately aggressive incline grain conveyors.
Rough Top Belting: Commonly used for incline bag and package handling applications, also suitable for pulley lagging.
Diamond Top Belting: Commonly used for incline bag and package handling applications.

Food-Grade Agricultural Grain Belting

IBT offers two types of FDA- and USDA-approved PVGE grain belts:

PVGE White Cover: Ideal for flour mills and conveyors with FDA requirements, this is a first-rate food-grade belting option.
PVGE Black Cover: Also meeting FDA requirements, this belt is constructed with MOR compounds to minimize the adverse effects of oily grains. It also boasts low stretch and high bolt-retention capabilities.

The PVGE belt is IBT’s best-selling choice for warmer climates and an economical solution for applications involving moderate oil and mild ambient temperatures. Contact us to learn more about our food-grade grain belt inventory.
