A cleated belt tube conveyor for conveying granular material, such as seed and grain commodities. The conveyor comprising a cleat row profile that is optimized for maximizing transfer capacity and minimizing wear. The cleat row profile may incorporate one or more of the following aspects: taller central cleat member and a slanted or clipped peripheral cleat. A cleated belt conveyor guide element, comprised of a plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart lugs that extend from an inner surface of the belt is also disclosed. A cogged roller, having a plurality of channel segments divided by drive bars, complements the guide element, increasing the power transfer and tracking ability over a cleated belt lacking a guide element. Also a baffle assembly can be disposed within the conveyor tube to limit material back flow. The baffle assembly can be configured with a belt passage aperture that corresponds to the cleat row profile. 1. A conveyor having a curvilinear structure for conveying granular material , the conveyor comprisinga. A belt having a first belt surface; i. A peripheral cleat member,', 'ii. A central cleat member,, 'b. A plurality of cleat members extending from the first belt surface, the cleat members being arranged to cooperatively form a cleat wall during movement of the conveyor belt through the curvilinear structure, the plurality of cleat members comprising'}c. Wherein the central cleat member is taller than the peripheral cleat member.2. The conveyor of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of cleat members extend at an angle generally perpendicular to the first belt surface.3. The conveyor of claim 1 , wherein the cleat wall is oriented along a transverse axis of the belt.4. The conveyor of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral cleat further comprises a taller central portion and a shorter peripheral portion.5. The conveyor of claim 4 , wherein a second peripheral cleat member comprises a taller central portion and a shorter peripheral portion.6. The ...
