Belt conveyors cannot provide suitable solutions in all situations. When we encounter difficulties and limitations due to site conditions like topography, space availability, restrictions due to environmental requirements/ regulations, material properties etc., we need to find an alternative to belt conveyors which are open troughed.The above conditions can be handled early with pipe conveying technology. The pipe conveyors have advantages of steeper inclination and greater curves than troughed belt conveyors and have great advantages as they completely stop spillage,Completely bar pilferage & avoid transfer stations.
Following are the major industries where Pipe Conveyor is used :
- Bulk port terminals loading and unloading materials in environmentally sensitive areas.
- The raw materials handling industry, e.g. transporting coal and ore.
- The cement industry, conveying powdered cement or limestone rock.
- In power plants, transporting coal and disposing of the ash.
