summary:When selecting a poultry manure belt for automated poultry farms, key considerations include cost versus service life, corrosion resistance, hardness/elasticity, maintenance, and compatibility with existing equipment. Three common materials on the market are PE (polyethylene) manure belt, PP (polypropylene) manure belt, and PVC manure belt. This article quickly compares the advantages and disadvantages of these three manure belt , provides manure belt typical specifications and recommended scenarios, and provides manure belt key installation and maintenance tips to help you make a clear, actionable, and results-oriented purchasing decision.

Long service life, impact resistance, reasonable cost |
There is some extensibility (it will elongate/deform) |
Thickness is typically approx. 0.8–1.8 mm (depending on the manufacturer) |

Corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and relatively long life |
High hardness requires plasticizer or filler material; The lifespan varies greatly between formulations |
Thickness: 1.0–1.5 mm; Width: 500–2500 mm |
| PVC Manure Belt |
low |
Short-medium |
Cheap price, low overall cost, easy installation |
It has a short service life (ranging from a few months to 2 years), is easy to retract, and is greatly affected by installation/alignment |
Multi-color (black/white/orange), thickness varies depending on the manufacturer |
Points Item by Point:
1.If long-term reliability and low replacement frequency are your top priorities, choose PE or PP Manure Belt.
PP manure belt has a slight advantage in corrosion and wear resistance, but due to differences in hardness and formulation, it's important to select a reputable manufacturer and obtain a clear material ratio and test report.
PE manure belt offers excellent elasticity and impact resistance, offering a balanced price and longevity.
2.If budget is limited or you're doing a short-term/experimental modification, choose PVC manure belt (knife-scrape cloth).
However, ensure proper equipment alignment and tensioning to avoid "bundling" and resulting in failure.
3.If the environment is corrosive or contains special chemicals, choose PP manure belt(confirm the formulation and conduct aging testing).Important: When purchasing manure belt, request a material composition statement, aging/wear resistance test data, and actual sample measurements.
Scenario recommendation list:
1.Large, long-term operation of laying/broiler farms (for stability) → Prefer PE Manure Belt or PP Manure Belt(PP depending on corrosion/wear strength).
2.Small, medium-sized, budget-conscious sites → PE Manure Belt (cost-effective) or PVC Manure Belt for short-term replacements.
3.High humidity/high corrosion or strict requirements for abrasion resistance → PP Manure Belt(choose products with high-quality formulations).
