Conveyor Belt Skirting
Conveyor belt skirt installs along the belt edges to prevent spillage, reduce dust, and control material flow. It improves safety, protects equipment, and increases operational efficiency by sealing gaps between the belt and conveyor structure.
Our belt skirting solutions create tight seals that stop material loss, improve conveyor efficiency, and extend equipment life.

Functions of Conveyor Belt Skirting
- Prevent Material Spillage: Skirting helps seal the gap between the conveyor belt and the conveyor structure, which reduces the risk of material falling off the belt during operation. This is especially important in industries where bulk materials, like grains, coal, or minerals, are being transported.
- Containment of Dust and Debris: By sealing off areas where materials might escape, skirting helps in controlling dust and debris. This is crucial in maintaining a cleaner working environment, especially in industries like mining or cement manufacturing.
- Improve Safety: Conveyor belt skirting ensures that material does not spill onto the floor, reducing the likelihood of slips, trips, and falls in the workplace. It also helps reduce the risk of fire hazards by containing potentially hazardous materials.
- Protect Conveyor Systems: Skirting also prevents materials from getting caught in the machinery or damaging the equipment, thus improving the overall efficiency and lifespan of the conveyor system.
Applications of Conveyor Belt Skirting
- Mining: Protects against the spillage of materials like coal, minerals, and ores.
- Bulk Material Handling: Helps contain materials like sand, gravel, and cement.
- Recycling: Prevents contamination and material loss when handling recyclable materials.
- Food Processing: Ensures food safety by preventing contamination from spilled or exposed materials.

Common materials for Conveyor Belt Skirting include rubber (for standard applications) and polyurethane (for high-performance, heavy-duty applications). Polyurethane offers superior abrasion resistance, while rubber is more cost-effective for general use.
Choose rubber conveyor skirting for general industrial applications, where cost-efficiency and flexibility are key. Opt for polyurethane skirting when durability, high abrasion resistance, and performance in extreme conditions (e.g., mining or heavy materials) are required.
Yes, Conveyor Belt Skirting made from heat-resistant rubber or polyurethane can handle a range of temperatures. Polyurethane skirting generally offers better heat resistance and is ideal for high-temperature environments, such as in metal production or cement manufacturing.
Conveyor Belt Skirting is typically easy to install, using bolts, screws, or clamps to secure it along the conveyor system. Custom lengths and profiles can be tailored to fit your specific conveyor system. It’s recommended to follow manufacturer instructions or consult an expert for installation in challenging environments.
Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure your Conveyor Belt Skirting remains effective. Check for wear and tear, especially at the contact points, and replace sections as needed to maintain a secure seal and prevent material loss.
