Custom Cleat & Flight Solutions for
Better Product Handling

Moving products on incline and elevating conveyors presents unique challenges. Products can slip, roll back, shift position, or spill during transport, leading to inefficiencies, product loss, and inconsistent processing. In food production environments, cleat designs must also support sanitation requirements while withstanding demanding washdown procedures.

Selecting the wrong cleat profile can negatively impact product flow, containment, and overall conveyor performance, making it difficult to maintain efficient and reliable production.

Sparks Mol provides custom cleat and flight solutions engineered to improve product control, containment, and conveying efficiency. Available in a variety of profiles, heights, and materials, our cleats are designed to match specific product characteristics and application requirements.

From FDA/USDA-approved rib cleats for protein and bakery applications to box cleats for containment and angled scoop cleats for product positioning, Sparks Mol helps optimize product movement while supporting sanitation, durability, and long-term conveyor performance. Our fabrication process creates smooth transitions and cleanable surfaces that help maintain hygiene standards in food processing environments.

Available Cleat & Flight Options

ThermoGienic^™ Cleats

Our unique fabrication process produces an extremely sanitary end product that is free of inside corners, niches or weld splatter. The cleats are permanently attached to the base belt forming a smooth 1/8″ radius around the entire perimeter of the cleat base. This innovative process ensures that your belts will remain easily cleanable to a microbial level. ThermoGienic™ cleats are part of the Sparks Mol advantage as they are sanitary by design.

Rib Cleats

FDA/USDA-approved rib cleats feature consistent rib spacing to provide reliable product movement in food processing applications, including meat, poultry, seafood, and bakery operations.

PowerFlight^™ Cleats

PowerFlight™ cleats utilize plied fabric to provide additional strength and rigidity. These cleats are great for non-food applications such as recycling and agriculture.

T-Cleats

A versatile solution for light- to medium-duty incline conveying, T-cleats provide dependable product separation and movement across a wide range of food and industrial applications.

Gusset Reinforced Cleats

Gussets provide additional strength to cleats carrying heavy loads up an incline without compromising minimum pulley diameter or introducing new stress points on the belt.

Scoop Cleats

Designed to guide products toward the center of the belt, angled scoop cleats improve product control and positioning during conveying.

Loop Cleats

Loop cleats are designed to flex, fold, and yield to the conveyor product to prevent bruising or crushing. These cleats are a great solution for fruits and bread buns.

Box Cleats

Ideal for product containment applications, box cleats help keep materials securely positioned on the belt while maintaining flexibility around pulleys.
