PVC Conveyor Belts
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) conveyor belts are a widely used type of thermoplastic conveyor belt made with PVC compound as the top cover. These belts are designed for light- to medium-duty conveying applications across a variety of industries. PVC belts are known for their affordability, chemical resistance, smooth or patterned surfaces, and are non-toxic, making them suitable for food processing, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and general industrial use.
Corrugated Sidewall PVC Belts
Inbelts has a wide variety of corrugated sidewall PVC belt options to maximize your product yield and keep loss at a minimum.
PVC Cleated Belts
The PVC cleated belts can realize high angle conveying. The conveyor using cleated belts only needs a small space.
Food Grade PVC Belts
The food grade PVC conveyor belts are types of Synthetic Belts. Our FDA PVC conveyor belt can contact food directly.
PVC Conveyor Belts for Marble
The marble PVC conveyor belts are pattern belts. We provide saw tooth, low grip, dot top, grip, and Matt pattern belts.
Patterned PVC Conveyor Belt
Inbelts can supply PVC conveyor belts with different patterns like diamond, rough top, saw tooth, grip, etc.
Normal PVC Conveyor Belts

More About PVC Belts
A Polyvinyl Chloride Belt is a thermoplastic conveyor belt made from PVC compound and reinforced with synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon. It is one of the most common and cost-effective conveyor belt types used in light to medium-duty industrial applications, including food processing, logistics, packaging, and general manufacturing.
Structure of a PVC Conveyor Belt
A typical PVC conveyor belt consists of:
| Layer | Material | Function |
| Top Cover | PVC compound | Provides wear surface and protection |
| Fabric Layer(s) | Polyester (EP), Cotton, or Nylon | Strength and dimensional stability |
| Bottom Cover | PVC or fabric (optional) | For traction, grip, or sliding purposes |
Multi-ply options (1–4 plies) provide different levels of strength and flexibility.
