A pipe conveyor belt is a specialized type of conveyor belt that plays a crucial role in modern material transportation.
- Structure and Composition
- Belt Material: Usually made of high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant rubber or synthetic materials. The belt carcass can be nylon, polyester or steel cord, providing the necessary strength and flexibility.
- Sealing Edge: The edges of the conveyor belt are specially treated to ensure a good seal when the belt is curled into a pipe shape, preventing material leakage.
- Working Principle
- Conveyor Process: It operates similar to a regular conveyor belt, driven by a motor through a drive roller. In the loading section, the belt is flat and materials are evenly loaded. Then, guided by idler sets, the belt gradually curls into a pipe shape, enclosing the materials. In the unloading section, the belt flattens again to unload the materials.
- Features
- Excellent Sealing: Encloses materials completely, preventing dust from escaping and materials from spilling, thus protecting the environment and reducing material loss.
- High Flexibility: Capable of horizontal and vertical curves, adapting to complex site layouts and space limitations.
- Steep Inclination Transport: Can achieve steep-angle transportation, increasing the scope of application and optimizing the use of space.
- Good Stability: The special roller set design and belt structure ensure stable operation of the pipe conveyor belt, with low risk of deviation and deformation.
- Strong Wear Resistance: Made of wear-resistant materials, it can withstand long-term friction and impact from materials, having a long service life.
- Applications
- Mining Industry: Ideal for transporting ores, coal and other materials, protecting the mine environment and improving transportation efficiency.
- Cement and Building Materials: Suitable for conveying cement, limestone, sand and other materials, reducing dust pollution in the production process.
- Power Plants: Used to transport coal and ash, ensuring clean and efficient material transportation.
- Chemical Industry: Can handle various chemical raw materials and powders, meeting strict environmental protection requirements.
