Product-Safe Material Handling from Horizontal to Vertical
Chantland MHS SW-Series Corrugated Sidewall Conveyors provide smooth, controlled movement of bulk materials in applications where space is limited or steep inclines are required. Designed for smooth, controlled handling and continuous flow, these conveyors move valuable or fragile products from horizontal to vertical (and everything in between) with minimal spillage and maximum reliability.
Why Choose Chantland SW-Series Conveyors
Since 1943, Chantland MHS has engineered custom conveyor systems that improve efficiency, reduce maintenance, and protect high-value materials. SW-Series Corrugated Sidewall Conveyors offer flexible layouts and robust designs to fit new installations and retrofit systems across agriculture, food, chemical, and industrial bulk-handling operations.
What you gain:
- Low-impact transfer of fragile or high-value materials
- Continuous conveying from flat to upright without extra equipment
- High capacities in tight footprints
- Reduced spillage with vertical sides and deep sidewalls
- Long service life from thick-gauge steel construction
- Configurations engineered per application
What Is a Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor?
A corrugated sidewall conveyor is a specialized belt conveyor that uses tall sidewalls and optional cleats to move bulk materials at steep angles up to vertical without rollback or loss of flow. This design allows you to replace multiple transfer points with one efficient conveying line.
How It Works
- Engineered Belt Design
A single-piece molded base belt features cross-rigid plies and flexible sidewalls. This keeps the belt stable as it transitions through horizontal, inclined, and vertical paths. - Positive Tracking
Machined trapezoid-crown terminal pulleys maintain belt tracking without damaging the product. - Controlled Material Containment
Sidewalls from 1" to 6" high create a deep channel that protects fragile materials and prevents spillage. - Smooth Transport Through Transitions
Bend rollers guide the belt through changes in angle while supporting consistent product flow.
This system provides an easy, efficient conveyance method for high-value, fragile, or flow-sensitive materials.
Key Design Features
- Multiple layout configurations: horizontal, incline, “S” curves, and vertical

Stationary Roller Bed Conveyors
Reliable Support for Long Runs and Heavy Loads
For applications requiring long conveying distances or heavy materials, Chantland offers fixed roller bed conveyors engineered for smooth transport, low friction, and long life.
Key Benefits
- Stationary design for permanent installations
- Roller bed supports reduce belt friction
- Handles powders, grain, aggregates, and industrial materials
- Trough-shaped belt options for controlled containment
- Robust steel frames for high-capacity needs
- Configurable for incline applications up to 30° or more
How They Work
Material is loaded at one end and carried along a supported belt surface powered by a motorized drive assembly. The rollers reduce resistance, supporting continuous transport with minimal wear, even under heavy loads.
Roller bed conveyors are ideal for use as part of larger integrated systems or for direct, heavy-duty bulk transport.
Built for Durability and Long-Term Value
Every Chantland conveyor is manufactured with thick-gauge steel, precision fabrication, and rigorous quality controls. With proper maintenance, these systems deliver decades of reliable service in demanding conditions such as abrasive or corrosive environments.
