Introduction
The pipe belt conveyor is widely suitable for any materials with almost no restrictions. Typical materials transported include ore, coal coke, limestone, gravel, shale and alluvium. Some materials with high difficulty treatment could also be transported by pipe belt conveyor, such as steel concentrate, petroleum coke, clay, waste residue, concrete, metal waste, humidified coal ash, tailings, bauxite and dust filtration and etc. The pipe belt conveyor can be widely used in electric power, building materials, chemical, mine, metallurgy, wharf, port, coal, grain and other industries.
Features
The material can be transported in sealed condition, realizing harmless transportation and environmental protection.
Materials can be flexibly transported in three-dimensional space, bypassing various obstacles without multiple loaders. Easy design and simple arrangement make economical overall layout possible.
From the structural principle, there will be no deviation condition, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.
It can be dual-purpose. The upper and lower branches of pipe belt conveyor mutually create the circular tube structure, so the lower branch can reversely transport the different material from the upper branch(however a special feeding device is required here).
As the conveyor belt is formed into circular tube, the truss width is narrower than that of the conventional belt conveyor on the same conveying capacity base, greatly reducing the land occupation and costs.
Structure
The pipe belt conveyor is one kind of materials conveying device in which the rollers arranged in a hexagonal shape force the belt to be wrapped into circular tube. The head, tail, feeding point, emptying point, tensioning device and the like of the device are basically same in structure with the conventional belt conveyor. After the conveyor belt is fed in the tail transition section, it is gradually rolled into a circular tube, with material transported in sealed condition, and then it is gradually unfolded in the head transition section till unloading.
