Conveyor Skirting and Containment Systems with USI
| Protect Material Flow | Choose the Right Solution |
At USI, we help mining, aggregate, and bulk material facilities solve one of the most persistent problems in conveying: spillage and dust. Our conveyor skirting and flashing solutions create a tight seal between your structure and the belt to keep materials contained and flowing efficiently. USI offers a wide selection of premium rubber and urethane skirting. With our wide selection of premium rubber and urethane skirting, and our hands-on field experience, USI can help you choose the best option for your specific application.
Why Skirting Matters:
Poorly sealed load zones and transfer points can lead to:
x Material spillage and product loss
x Excessive dust, health and safety concerns
x Belt and structure wear
x Increased cleanup and downtime
x Reduced equipment life span
The right skirting solution minimizes these issues, improves belt sealing, and increases operational efficiency.

Urethane Skirting
Urethane is a high-performance alternative to rubber, ideal for more extreme wear environments.
> Best for:
- High-speed conveyors
- Wet, sticky, or abrasive materials
- Load zones with heavy impact and material flow
> Benefits:
- 3–5x the wear life of standard rubber
- Holds its shape longer, reducing maintenance
- Resists tearing and chunking
- Excellent for sharp, jagged materials and wet fines
At USI, we partner with multiple urethane manufacturers to offer customized solutions. Our team will match the urethane durometer and thickness to your operating conditions.
Lining Solutions with USI
To complement your skirting and further protect critical conveyor components, USI offers:
Rubber Canoe Liners: Durable rubber liners shaped to fit conveyor chutes, troughs, and transitions, reducing wear and preventing material buildup.
Rubber with Ceramic Canoe Liners: Enhanced with embedded ceramic particles, these liners provide exceptional wear resistance and dramatically longer service life in high-impact and high-abrasion areas.
Urethane Canoe Liners: Featuring excellent abrasion and cut resistance, urethane liners protect against severe material wear while maintaining flexibility and toughness.
These liners work in conjunction with our skirting to protect chutes, hoppers, and conveyor transition points which are critical areas prone to abrasion and impact damage.
Installation and Support with USI
- Available in standard rolls or custom-cut lengths
- Field installation support available
- Optional kits with clamps and hardware
- Recommendations based on your belt widthm drop height, and material type
