Technical parameters
The structure of pipe conveyor as well as structure ofclassic type conveyor consists of:
Drive station
· One drum type
· Two drum type
· Belt turn station for U-type conveyors
Return stations
Tension stations
· Gravitation type with drums
· Carriage type with gravitation weight
Conveyor line
· Steel structure with self-supporting structure up to 24m
The pipe conveyor route can be designed with curve inhorizontal and vertical plane, which decrease number of the transfer points onconveyor route. The pipe conveyor structure design allows overcome horizontaland vertical curves with 80m or greater radius.
The pipe conveyors can achieve up to 50% highercapacity of vertically conveyed material compared to classic belt conveyors.
The conveyed material is protected against externaleffects and dusting related to conveyor operation is minimized.
The closing of the belt into pipe shape, belt turn andfolding into U shape in conveyor carrying and return run prevents materialspillage under conveyor and environment pollution. During belt closing, thebelt closes with “dirty” surface inside and it prevents sticking o material onrollers.
