Tubular Pipe Conveyors

Tubular Pipe Conveyor is shaped tubular configuration using six rolls so that it can be curbed in any direction. Pipe conveyor is versatile exploiting its characteristics including application for extension of existing factories and etc.As the material transported is enclosed in the tubular shaped belt, it emits less dust and is non-pollution conveyor system.

The use of the tubular pipe conveyors by industry is rather new and many of the design, engineering and maintenance techniques are similar to conventional systems. The tubular pipe conveyor is a natural evolution of the conventional Belt Conveyors having all their advantages but without many of their inconveniences and is becoming a very attractive option for the design of material transport systems. However, this type of transport has presented important problems in its practical application, such as warping of the belt in the curved sections. Consequently it is necessary to make a more exhaustive theoretical study of this problem.
