Tatch-A-Cleat® - Bondable
With our wide selection of Tatch-A-Cleat® belt cleats, pegs, lugs and V-guides, you can restore full carrying capacity to your incline or conveyor belts within minutes – without removing your belt from the conveyor. Choose from a wide selection of easily installed cleats, pegs, lugs or V-guides to help:
When choosing cleat installation patterns, you should give major consideration to the type of return support which is available or feasible.
- Where conveyor pulley center distances are 15 feet or less, it is often possible to omit return rolls safely.
- Where the curved or chevron pattern is used with standard return rolls, cleats should be arranged so that they provide a set of continuous contacts between cleats and rolls.
- On drives using pulleys less than 6” in diameter, curved or chevron patterns should not be used. The ends of cleats mounted in a curved pattern should be tapered to lead smoothly onto return rolls.
- Convert flat belts to incline belts
- Maximize carrying capacity
- Prevent material rollback
- Maximize floor space by increasing angles of conveyor incline
- Accommodate specialized counting, sorting or customized conveying applications
Tatch-A-Cleat products are carefully engineered and manufactured from specialized rubber and PVC compounds for a variety of conveyor operations. Plus many Tatch-A-Cleat products can be installed in customized patterns – such as “in trough” or chevron patterns – that match specific application needs.
Bondable products can be installed using a hot vulcanization or cold chemical bond process. Selection includes the T Cleat, V-guide, or the Flange styles, with either a buffed or unbuffed base. Both black and white T Cleat offerings are manufactured from FDA-approved nitrile compounds. Select a height range from 1/2" - 4" in standard lengths of 10'. Black and white V-guides are manufactured from FDA-approved neoprene compounds, and are available in O, A, B, and C sizes in various coiled lengths.

T Cleats
T Cleats are an efficient profile used to move material up inclines. The top of the cleat has a full radius, which gently transports the material to avoid bruising and marking of the product. The bottom edges taper, allowing for a smooth transition between belt and cleat
-
Flanges
Flanges are applied longitudinally on the outer edges of the belt to help contain the product on the belt in flat conveyor applications
-
V-Guides
V-guides are an effective way to track belts. Applied to the underside of the belt, the V-guides operate within the notches in the pulley, keeping the belt tracking properly
