Pipe Belt Conveyors

The Pipe Conveyors show several advantages if compared with conventional conveyor: the belt is rolled, after the loading point, into a pipe shape, containing the material inside with a very limited envirnment impact. 

The Pipe Conveyor can negotiate much tighter curves than a flat belt as well as it can negotiate steep inclines and this will facilitate complex routing requiring less space than a conventional conveyor. 

This advantage of being able to run tight curves is an essential aspect, since it can eliminate transfer points that are normally necessary when there is a relative sharp change in belt direction. 

A Pipe Conveyor can transport the same volume of material as a conventional conveyor belt which is typically approx. double the width of the Pipe Conveyor, this is an important factor where space is limited, such as inside a tunnel.
