Advantages of
pipe conveyor
Adaptabilityto the Topography of the Area
and Given Installations with:
Sharp Curves
Sharp Vetical Radius
Steep Conveying Angles
Lower Maintenance Costs
Lower Space Requirements
No Spillage in the Lower Strand
Specially Reinforced Belts guarantee a Stable, Safe Run
No Misalignment of Belt as we experience in
Conventional Belt Conveyors since the path is
constrained 25
