A pipe conveyor is a type of belt conveyor used in material handling that transports bulk materials in a fully enclosed environment. Unlike traditional open belt conveyors, which transport material on a flat belt, pipe conveyors encase the material in a tube or pipe shape using a specially designed belt.
Belt
The belt used in pipe conveyors is made from multiple layers of rubber or other materials. It is flexible enough to be shaped into a pipe and strong enough to handle the transported material's weight and properties.
Drive and Tail Pulleys
These are used to drive the belt and provide the necessary tension to keep the belt moving and properly shaped.
Loading and Unloading Stations
The material is loaded onto the conveyor belt at the loading station. As the belt moves, it is gradually shaped into a pipe. At the unloading station, the belt opens up, and the material is discharged.
Since the material is fully enclosed in the pipe, there is no spillage, and the material is protected from external environmental conditions such as rain or wind.
Pipe conveyors can navigate complex paths, including curves in both the horizontal and vertical planes. This flexibility allows for more efficient use of space and the ability to bypass obstacles.
The enclosed design reduces dust and noise pollution, making pipe conveyors more environmentally friendly compared to open belt conveyors.
The enclosed system protects the material from exposure and contamination, ensuring the quality and integrity of the transported material.
Overall, pipe conveyors are an innovative solution for efficient and environmentally friendly bulk material transportation, particularly in applications where spillage, contamination, or environmental impact are significant concerns.
