The Trough PVC Belt Conveyor is a conveying system featuring a trough (U/V) bed design that enables the safe and rapid transfer of bulk materials—such as fine-grained dust, sand, grain and coal—as well as packaged goods like cartons, boxes and sacks, without the risk of spillage or overflow from the sides.
Operating Principle: Mechanical power from a motor system, connected directly or via a chain to a steel drive drum, drives the PVC belt via longitudinal shafts and carrier rollers:
Spill-Free Conveying with a Trough Design: The incline provided by the carrier rollers and pulleys gives the belt a trough-like structure. This profile prevents spillage by ensuring that non-cohesive and bulk materials with uneven surfaces are collected at the centre.
Advanced Drive and Protection: The drive system, offering adjustable or shock-absorbing moment-mounted installation options, protects the system during demanding start-stop cycles. The line features impact-resistant, enclosed sensor connections.
Flexible Speed and Chassis Design: The belt’s feed speed can be optimised according to the type of product being conveyed and the facility’s capacity requirements. The height-adjustable foot system allows for easy adaptation to different levels.
Maximum Operational Efficiency: Thanks to the seamless integration of the head, tail, tensioning and deflection components on the rigid chassis, even the most challenging bulk materials can be conveyed at the lowest cost without the need for manual labour.
