How Annilte PVC Conveyor Belts Solve Material Spillage and Dust Issues in Pellet and Granule Handling

If you process plastic pellets, fertilizer granules, detergent powders, or any free-flowing bulk material, you already know the drill: standard rubber belts let fine particles slip, dust clouds form at transfer points, and cleanup eats into production time. The belt you choose directly affects yield, housekeeping, and maintenance frequency.

Annilte manufactures PVC conveyor belts specifically engineered for pellet and granule applications. Whether you are handling hot extruded pellets, moisture-sensitive fertilizer, or abrasive detergent beads, our belts are built to contain material and keep your line running clean.

Why PVC for Pellets and Granules?

Polyvinyl chloride offers a distinct set of properties that make it well-suited for lightweight to medium-duty bulk handling:

• Oil and chemical resistance. Many pellets and granules carry residual oils or chemical additives. PVC formulations resist degradation better than standard rubber in these environments, extending belt life .
• Easy release surface. PVC’s smooth surface prevents sticky materials from adhering, reducing carryback and the need for aggressive scrapers that can damage the belt.
• Troughability and flexibility. Annilte PVC belts conform well to troughing idlers, containing loose granules at the edges where material loss typically occurs.
• Lower weight. Compared to heavy rubber belts, PVC reduces the load on your conveyor structure and drive system, which is particularly useful in packaging and in-plant transfer applications.

Annilte’s PVC Belt Construction

Our PVC conveyor belts are manufactured using high-strength polyester or nylon fabric as the load-bearing carcass, impregnated and coated with PVC compound. The result is a belt that holds tension, resists delamination, and maintains dimensional stability under continuous operation .

For pellet and granule handling specifically, we recommend:

• Surface profile: Smooth or lightly textured (diamond/grass pattern) depending on incline angle. Patterned surfaces improve grip on steep inclines and prevent rollback .
• Thickness range: 2mm to 6mm, selected based on material weight and drop height at loading points.
• Edge treatment: Cut edge or sealed edge. Sealed edges are preferable for dusty environments to prevent fabric wicking and fraying.
• Temperature rating: Standard PVC handles -10°C to +80°C, covering most pellet processing conditions .

Custom Fabrication Options

Every conveyor line has unique constraints. Annilte offers:

• Guide strips and sidewalls to contain material at edges.
• Cleats and profiles for inclined transport.
• Custom widths up to 4000mm and endless jointing (vulcanized or mechanical) .
• Anti-static and flame-retardant formulations for environments where dust ignition is a concern.

Who We Serve

Annilte supplies PVC conveyor belts to processors in plastics, fertilizer, chemicals, detergent manufacturing, and general bulk materials handling. Our belts are in operation across Europe and North America, and we work directly with maintenance engineers and procurement teams to match belt specifications to application conditions.
