Why is Pipe Conveyor Belt Better?

Introduction to Pipe Conveyor Belts

Pipe conveyor belts, such as the Trellex Flexopipe®, are designed to be free from spillage. They excel in transporting materials like municipal waste, ash, limestone, or shredded tires, which can pose environmental risks if not managed properly. By minimizing environmental impacts and enhancing the circular economy of these materials, you not only improve your operational efficiency but also align with sustainability targets.

As a general guideline, the maximum size of lumps that can be transported is roughly one-third of the pipe's diameter (for example, from 150 mm up to 550 mm).

Material Properties

These belts are constructed from high-tensile steel cords or textile reinforcements, depending on specific applications, and are available in several cover grades. The determination of the appropriate cover grade is based on the application requirements, which also influence the lifespan of the belt.

Transporting hot materials in an enclosed fashion prevents heat exchange with the ambient atmosphere; hence, the temperature of the materials must remain lower than in traditional setups.

Special Features of Pipe Conveyor Belts

The Trellex Flexopipe® offers a more versatile design compared to conventional conveyor belts. Its ability to accommodate various configurations, including convex and concave curves, leads to a reduction in the number of transfer points, ensuring a smoother material flow. This results in lower installation and operational costs.

This conveying system provides safe, clean, and spillage-free transport of materials, contributing to environmental protection and reduced maintenance expenses. Moreover, it safeguards cargo from adverse weather conditions like snow, rain, wind, and dust.

The Distinction Between Pipe Conveyor and Traditional Belt Conveyor

The Distinction Between Pipe Conveyor and Traditional Belt Conveyor

The rise in popularity of Pipe Conveyors is attributed to their distinct advantages over standard belt conveyors:

  1. They can navigate both horizontal and vertical bends, with a maximum horizontal bending angle of 90 degrees and a minimum bending radius of 300 times the pipe diameter.
  2. By utilizing a Pipe Conveyor, you can eliminate the need for a reloading room typically required by conventional belt conveyors, thus reducing equipment investment.
  3. The compact design of the pipe type and roller group provides a significant space efficiency.
  4. These conveyors can be engineered for steep incline angles.
  5. The transportation process causes minimal environmental pollution. Since pipe conveyors operate in a sealed manner, they save costs related to constructing conveyor corridors, safeguarding against environmental pollution during material transport.
  6. They also shield the transported materials from rain and wind.
  7. The return belt can be designed to transport material as well.
  8. Power consumption remains comparable to that of conventional belt conveyors.
  9. Overall, the energy usage of these conveyors can be 50%-70% less than traditional belt conveyors of equal width.
  10. They are particularly adept for large-scale, steep, and complex terrain layouts, offering excellent economic efficiency and practicality, particularly suitable in power plants, ports, and mining contexts characterized by harsh geographical settings.
  11. Pipe conveyors play a crucial role in transporting materials that are environmentally harmful, such as coal, cement, and coke.

The Pipe Conveyors developed by Henan Excellent Machinery Co., Ltd. encapsulate these advantages effectively.
