The skirted wavy edge belt conveyor is a special type of belt conveyor capable of conveying bulk materials at steep angles, even vertically lifting them.

The structure of the skirted wavy edge belt conveyor is basically similar to that of a general belt conveyor, with the main difference being the use of a specially designed skirted wavy edge conveyor belt.

The wavy edge conveyor belt is a general conveyor belt (fabric core belt or steel wire rope core belt) with S-shaped or W-shaped flexible and extensible rubber wavy edges bonded on both sides at different heights. Additionally, crossbars are adhered at regular intervals on the base belt between the two edges for material transportation.

The cross-section of the crossbeam can be T-shaped, C-shaped, or TC-shaped. The incline angle of the conveyor can vary between 0° and 90°, and the conveyor route is typically arranged in a Z-shape, L-shape, C-shape, or straight line. Both the loaded and unloaded idlers of the belt conveyor are parallel idlers. By using pressure rollers to clamp the two sides of the conveyor belt, the conveyor route can quickly switch from horizontal to inclined (or vice versa).

To remove materials adhering to the wavy edge conveyor belt, typically a hammering roller or hammering device is used to vibrate the conveyor belt up and down to dislodge the adhesive material. This conveyor can achieve high incline conveying, thereby reducing the required space. Compared to a bucket elevator, it has a higher conveying capacity, lower energy consumption, and is easier to maintain.
