Ribbed conveyors are a practical device for moving materials in an inclined state, which is widely used in various industries. The use of these conveyors facilitates the movement of materials in sloping environments.
What is a ribbed conveyor?
Ribbed conveyors are one of the most widely used types of conveyors in the industry, and special profiles are used in their design. These conveyors are used to transport materials on inclined lines with angles greater than 22 degrees; Because smooth conveyors do not have acceptable performance at these angles. These profiles are designed with different thicknesses and are provided according to the working conditions and slope of the conveying line.

Structural characteristics of ribbed conveyors
The structure of this conveyor includes the following main components:
- The conveyor belts are made of rubber, PVC or PU. Each type of material has different advantages in terms of durability, heat resistance, chemicals and friction.
- The ribs are glued or molded directly onto the surface of the belt. Ribs can have many different shapes such as V, T, cubes, etc. The purpose of the ribs is to increase friction, helping the material to be transported more stably, especially on steep roads.
- The conveyor frame is made of steel, stainless steel or aluminum to support the belt, rollers and other transmission equipment. The conveyor frame must ensure rigidity to withstand the load of the material and the pulling force of the motor.
- The motor provides power to pull the belt to move.
- The reducer reduces the rotation speed of the motor and increases the torque, helping the belt operate stably.
- The pull roller is the part that directly contacts the belt, transmitting force from the motor to the belt.
- The return roller supports the belt to return to its original position.
- Other parts: Support rollers, Gears, chains, Sensors, Control systems, etc.
Advantages of ribbed conveyors
Ribbed conveyors offer many outstanding advantages during the transportation process. Thanks to the special ribbed structure, the conveyor increases friction, helping to fix goods effectively, especially on steep roads. This not only ensures the stability of the transportation process but also contributes to increasing labor productivity.
The application of ribbed conveyors in production lines also helps to optimize space, reduce labor costs and improve the quality of final products. In addition, ribbed conveyors have a simple structure, are easy to maintain and replace, and minimize downtime of the line.
Ribbed conveyor applications
Ribbed conveyors play an important role in many industries thanks to their ability to transport effectively on inclined surfaces. Thanks to its special ribbed structure, the conveyor belt ensures the stability of the material, which is especially useful in the manufacturing, food processing, and automotive industries.
In addition, ribbed conveyor belts are also widely used in logistics systems, warehouses, and seaports to transport goods up and down ships and vehicles. With high adaptability, ribbed conveyor belts are also used in heavy industries such as construction and mining to transport materials such as sand, stone, and ore continuously and stably.
Commonly used ribbed conveyor belts:
There are many types of ribbed conveyor belts commonly used today, below are the commonly used types:
- Characteristics of PU ribbed conveyor belts:
- The PU conveyor belt with 2 ribs helps to fix the product running on the conveyor belt without slipping when moving.
- We design PU ribbed conveyor belts with large lengths and small widths suitable for the products that customers are producing, ensuring good operation without affecting the product

- Characteristics of inclined PU ribbed conveyor belts:
- PU inclined conveyor belts are designed based on production needs, the conveyor belt angle can be adjusted to make the loading process most convenient and easy.
- Ribbed conveyor belts to increase friction and prevent slipping for the product.
- Characteristics of PVC ribbed conveyor belts with T ribbed
- The double conveyor belt is ribbed on the surface using a heat-gluing system to ensure that the ribs are sturdy, straight and highly aesthetic.
- The ribbed conveyor belt on the PVC belt is waterproof, acid-resistant and resistant to harmful effects from the surrounding environment, so it has a long life and is flexible in many manufacturing industries.
- The benefits of ribbed gluing on the belt surface help to divide products or prevent products from slipping during transportation.
