Remcon can supply replacement conveyor belts that range from flat or cleated belting to fabricated belts that include cleats, steel cross members, sidewalls, chain attachments, and other custom features — for our own conveyors and for other brands.
Remcon maintains good relationships with multiple belting suppliers to know where to get quality belt products at competitive prices. Whether you just need help getting the right type of replacement belt ordered, or need custom fabrication work done, Remcon can help.
Rubber & PVC Replacement Belts
Rubber or PVC replacement belts for slider bed and idler conveyors.
- Available in a variety of materials, widths, and thicknesses
- Various options for cleats and/or sidewalls
Endlessly Spliced Belts
An endless spliced conveyor belt is joined into one continuous loop — hot vulcanized or cold bonded — so there is no mechanical lacing to catch material or wear out. Remcon can supply and prepare belts to be hot or cold-bonded endlessly on site. We developed our own special process to bond belts endlessly onto high-speed conveyors for optical sorting that are up to 112" wide and only 16'–20' long. On these conveyors, due to their speed, wide width, and short length, alignment is critical for proper tracking. Because of this, our extra attention to detail for splicing accuracy typically exceeds that of local belt suppliers.
Delamination of Plies
Our delamination methods remove the layers of carcass and cover accurately and completely, so that the mating surfaces are completely smooth. This provides full bonding contact. The plies are removed gently, without the strong pulling forces commonly applied to belts, which can distort the fabric and cause a crooked connection. The area of bonded overlap is greater than what is common for the industry, producing a stronger bond.
Cold-Bonded Belts
In order to get the strongest bond, the initial coats of glue need to be applied ahead of time and let dry thoroughly in between coats. When Remcon provides a replacement cold-glue bonded belt, the first coats of glue will be applied by us in our shop before shipping and allowed plenty of cure time. The belt will be shipped with enough glue to do the final coat when the belt eventually gets bonded on the conveyor. So when the time comes to install the belt in the field, it will be ready for a final coat of glue without any waiting. Remcon can also come on-site to perform or to just supervise the belt installation.
Hot-Bonded Belts
Remcon can either order the belts with fingers cut by the belt company, or Remcon can also accurately cut different styles of fingers into the belt. When the belt needs to be installed on the conveyor, the ends just need to be aligned together in the belt press and hot vulcanized together. These belts are ready to run as soon as they cool down.
Replacement Belt Options
Every replacement belt is specified to the conveyor it will run on. These are the options we work with most often — the same belting and hardware we use on new Remcon conveyors:
| Option | What it is | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Belt material | Rubber or PVC, in a variety of materials, widths, and thicknesses | Slider bed and troughing idler conveyors |
| Cleats | Raised profiles on the belt surface, in various options | Carrying material up inclines without rollback |
| Belt sidewalls | Flexible walls at the belt edges, in multiple styles and heights | Containing material on the belt; dividing it into lanes |
| Steel cross members & chain attachments | Fabricated combination belts with cleats, sidewalls, and chain attachments | Drag chain and roller chain belt conveyors |
| Endless splice | Hot vulcanized or cold bonded into a continuous loop — no mechanical joint | High-speed and optical-sorting conveyors where tracking is critical |
| Mechanical lacing | Flexco Alligator® Staple Hinge for thinner belts or Flexco® R2 Rivet Hinge for thicker belts; galvanized, stainless, or MegAlloy® | Belts that need quick field installation or opening for maintenance |
Chain Belt Replacement
Complete design, fabrication, and installation. Various options for all components, including cross members and cleats.
- Drag Chain with Rubber Belting
- Roller Chain with Rubber Belting
- Roller Chain with Steel Belting
Replacement of Chain Belt Parts
Most brands and styles available. Parts can be ordered and replaced individually as needed.
- Cross members
- Impact shoes
- Wear strips
- Cleats
- Tracks (for both drag and roller chain)
Belt Repair & On-Site Replacement Service
Damaged sections of rubber belt, steel belt, chain, and mechanical splicing can often be repaired or replaced individually instead of replacing the whole belt. For change-out planning, downtime windows, and on-site crews, see our conveyor belt replacement and repair service.

Working & Custom Replacement Parts
Bearings, sprockets, pulleys, motors, reducers, and v-belts often need attention at the same time as the belt, and Remcon supplies them for our own conveyors and for other brands — including custom fabricated parts and on-site installation. See our conveyor replacement parts page for the full rundown.
Replacement parts →How to Measure a Conveyor Belt for Replacement
The old belt is the best template. To quote a replacement belt, we need:
- Belt width — measured edge to edge across the belt.
- Belt length — the overall endless length if the belt is spliced, or end to end if it is laced. If the old belt is gone, the pulley center-to-center distance and the pulley diameters let us calculate it.
- Thickness & construction — overall belt thickness, usually easiest to measure at a cut end or at the lacing.
- Cleats & sidewalls — pattern, height, and spacing, if the belt has them.
- Splice type — endless bonded or mechanical lacing, and the lacing style if known.
If any of this is hard to pin down, contact us — helping you get the right type of replacement belt ordered is part of the job.
Replacement Conveyor Belt FAQ
Can Remcon match a replacement belt for any brand of conveyor?
Yes. Remcon supplies replacement conveyor belts for our own machines and for other manufacturers' conveyors. We maintain good relationships with multiple belting suppliers to know where to get quality belt products at competitive prices — and if the belt needs cleats, sidewalls, steel cross members, or chain attachments, we fabricate that work in our shop.
Should my replacement belt be spliced endless or laced?
It depends on the conveyor: endless splicing suits high-speed conveyors where tracking is critical, while mechanical lacing installs faster in the field and lets the belt be opened for maintenance. Remcon hot vulcanizes or cold bonds belts endlessly — including optical sorting belts up to 112" wide — and offers lacing options such as Flexco Alligator® Staple Hinge for thinner belts and Flexco® R2 Rivet Hinge for thicker belts. Tell us the conveyor and we'll recommend one.
How do I measure my conveyor belt for a replacement?
Measure the belt width edge to edge, the overall belt length, and the belt thickness, and note any cleats, sidewalls, and the splice or lacing type. If the old belt is gone, the pulley center-to-center distance and the pulley diameters let us calculate the length. Send us what you have and we'll help you spec the right belt.
What is the lead time on a replacement conveyor belt?
Lead time depends on the belt, so it is quoted per job. The main drivers are belt availability from our suppliers and the fabrication work required — cleats, sidewalls, cross members, and splice preparation. Cold-bonded belts ship with the initial glue coats already applied and cured in our shop, so the field installation is ready to go without waiting. Call (509) 244-9439 for a quote.
Every fabricated replacement belt is cut, built, and splice-prepped at our Airway Heights (Spokane), Washington shop, then shipped nationwide — with on-site installation available if you want us there for the change-out.
