Because its compound is food-grade and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the PVC conveyor belt is used for conveying food and hygienic products.

Specifications of this belt:

Colour: generally produced in green and white.

Thickness: typically from 1 mm to 6 mm.

Bottom layer: can be polyester, smooth PVC or diamond-pattern PVC.

When a PVC belt is used on an inclined conveyor, T-shaped cleats 2 to 6 cm high can be fitted to the belt surface to stop the load from rolling back.
