Pipe Conveyor Belts

UKRB PIPEBELT

Often, industrial or mining applications require the transport of large masses of material on an inclined plane in narrow spaces or tight curves. In these conditions the UKRB-PIPEBELT can assure steep transport, (angles up to 30º), without losing material due to the special configuration which effectively seals the overlap area.

Advantages of Use

Covering large distances without intermediate transfers
Protection of transported material against degradation or volatilization
Protection against dust or strong odors given off by substances transported
Avoiding the spread of carbon dioxide

Areas of Use

Mining
Cement factories
Steel plants
Power plants etc.

Operating Mode

In the loading zone the UKRB-PIPEBELT troughs as a standard belt, but after loading, special drums shape the belt into a tube with overlaid edges. The conveyed material is completely isolated into the tube. The hexagonal drums keep the belt closed along its path. Close to the end of the conveyor the belt opens, becoming a standard trough belt sustained by 3 drums, it then goes through the last straight in order to download the material. On the way back the belt closes again, remaking a tube with overload edges.

The UKRB-PIPEBELT belts are available in a range of cover qualities: Y for general use, W for very abrasive materials and G for transporting glossy materials. Also, they can be temperature resistant, flame resistant or resistant to other factors according to customer needs. These belts are manufactured in a wide range of dimensions, on demand.
