Pipe conveyors for infrastructure projects: Innovative solution for conveyor systems

Ckit prepared a research paper on the advancement of conveyor design and manufacturing. According to the report, pipe conyors provide effective solutions for a variety of problems faced in the industry. Pipe conveyor allows for fewer transfer points because it is capable of negotiating tighter curves and inclines. The increase in horizontal and vertical curves further increases the power requirement. Idler spacing is to be kept lower for pipe conveyors in order to maintain the shape of the pipe. This increases the number of idlers and brackets which in turn has significant effects on the cost of the conveyor. The idler configuration maintains the shape of the belt and provides support for the belting over the profile. Belt training is important to pipe conveyors in order to prevent belt fouling with the structure, chute work, etc. Idler support structures have a large impact on the running of pipe conveyors and can be the difference between success and failure of a project.
