Corrugated sidewall belts (another way to say high angle steep incline pocket belts) present a variety of complexities for system designers to engineer their layouts properly. Nearly all sidewall belt systems have evolved to include three main sections. The first is the flat (horizontal) loading area. The second is the incline (steep incline) section that will elevate materials. The third section is the top (usually horizontal) discharge end. Working together, through deflection points and bends, these three sections do the work of separate conveyors without the need to transfer material from one conveyor to the others. It is in these deflection and bend areas that designers must understand the individual needs of the components (particularly the corrugated sidewall) to bend, compress and elongate.
