Pipe Belt Conveyors
This technology represents an innovative concept for the transportation of material compared to the conventional belt conveyor.
Tenova Pipe Belt Conveyors offers several advantages in terms of optimization of the system layout, environment impact and safe working environment.
Overview
The Pipe Conveyors exhibit several advantages compared to conventional conveyors: the belt is rolled, after the loading point, into a pipe shape, containing the material inside with a very limited environmental impact.
The Pipe Conveyor can negotiate much tighter curves than a flat belt, as well as steep inclines, facilitating complex routing that requires less space than a conventional conveyor. This advantage of being able to handle tight curves is essential since it can eliminate transfer points that are normally necessary when there is a relatively sharp change in belt direction.
A Pipe Conveyor can transport the same volume of material as a conventional conveyor belt, which is typically approximately double the width of the Pipe Conveyor. This is an important factor where space is limited, such as inside a tunnel.;
