Plastic conveyor belts are increasingly used in modern factories thanks to their durability, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning capability. With high customization in materials and surface structure, plastic belts have become the ideal solution for industries such as food processing, seafood, beverages, packaging, and logistics.
Belota supplies a full range of genuine plastic conveyor belts—PP, PE, POM, PU, PVC, and more—at highly competitive prices. If you are researching this solution, the following guide will help you understand its structure, materials, specifications, applications, and updated pricing.
Plastic conveyor belts are made from interconnected plastic modules or PVC/PU sheets, forming a continuous moving belt. Their lightweight, non-corrosive, water-resistant, and hygienic characteristics make them suitable for many advanced production systems.
There are two main types:
Flat and seamless surface; ideal for small, lightweight, or stable products.
Perforated surface that allows fast drainage and airflow; suitable for seafood, fresh food, and wet environments.
Customizable in size, material, and structure, plastic conveyor belts help businesses increase productivity, reduce maintenance costs, and meet hygiene standards across production lines.
Choosing the right material directly impacts belt durability and performance. Below are the most widely used materials:
Soft and flexible, excellent low-temperature performance (down to –73°C).
Applications: Cold storage, seafood, meat processing, frozen food.
Lightweight, rigid, chemical-resistant, suitable for medium-temperature environments.
Applications: Packaging, dry food, electronics, general logistics.
High stiffness, low friction, minimal deformation—ideal for heavy loads and high-speed lines.
Applications: Beverages, bottling, precision industrial processes.
Durable, water-resistant, cost-effective, ideal for continuous operation under medium loads.
Applications: Agriculture, dry food, pharmaceuticals, electronics.
High elasticity, superior abrasion resistance, food-grade safe.
Applications: Food processing, packaging, medium-load applications.
A complete plastic conveyor belt system includes:
Plastic belt (modules or sheets): 25.4–50.8mm standard module pitch.
Frame: Stainless steel 304, aluminum, or powder-coated steel.
Sprockets & rollers: POM/PA for accurate power transmission.
Drive unit: Motors 0.18–2.2kW with gear reducers and optional inverter.
Guides & side rails: UHMW-PE or stainless steel.
Tensioning system: Manual screw or automatic adjustments.
Accessories: Adjustable feet, covers, product guards, sensors, etc.
Corrosion & chemical resistance
Low noise (<60 dB)
Excellent thermal stability (–73°C to +120°C depending on material)
Easy to clean—ideal for food-grade environments
Lightweight, reducing motor load & energy consumption
Modular design for quick maintenance
Highly flexible in design (straight, curve, incline, Z-shape)
Lower load capacity compared to rubber belts
Heat limitations (>120°C requires special materials)
Some materials become brittle at low temperatures (except PE)
Higher initial cost than basic PVC belts
Requires sprockets that match belt pitch for stable operation
Belt width: 200–2000 mm
Thickness: 3–12 mm (PVC/PU), 8–20 mm (modular)
Pitch: 12.7 / 25.4 / 31.75 / 50.8 mm
Temperature:
PE: –73°C → 65°C
PP: 0°C → 100°C
POM: –40°C → 90°C
PVC/PU: –10°C → 80°C
Speed: 10–60 m/min; high-speed lines up to 120 m/min
Load capacity: 200–3000 N/m depending on material
Curve plastic conveyors: 30°–180° turning angles
Inclined conveyors: Anti-slip surface, suitable for elevation changes
Modular belts (plastic chain belts)
Flat-top belts
Perforated belts for drainage/drying
Anti-slip belts (caro, ribbed, rough-top)
Heat-resistant belts (PP/POM)
Chemical-resistant belts (PE, PP, POM)
FDA-approved PP, PE, POM
Easy to clean, durable in wet/cold environments
Ideal for seafood, meat, beverages, packaging
Smooth, non-absorbent, hygienic
Suitable for high-speed lines, light products
Fast water removal
Ideal for seafood, vegetables, cooling lines
Avoid exceeding load limits (30–150 kg/m)
Adjust proper tension and speed
Clean daily with neutral solutions
Inspect pulleys/rollers weekly
Avoid incompatible chemicals
Perform maintenance every 1–3 months
Prevent sharp objects from hitting the belt surface
Environment: temperature, moisture, chemicals
Product characteristics: weight, size, edge sharpness
Speed requirements: high speed → choose POM
Hygiene standards: food-grade FDA belts
Design type: solid-top, perforated, modular, incline
Budget vs. lifespan: long-term cost savings
