Tubular Conveyor Belt – Custom Fabric & Steel Core Solutions

Covering layer: Composed of specially designed covering rubber and edge rubber, it can enhance the wear resistance and service life of the conveyor belt. There are various covering layer grades available for selection, including wear-resistant, heat-resistant, oil-resistant and grease-resistant, flame-retardant and food grade (FDA).

Special layers: Some high-end tubular conveyor belts are also designed with multi-layer composite structures. For instance, the inner layer may include polyurethane rubber layers, rock wool layers, and aluminum foil layers, etc., to enhance the anti-slip performance, high-temperature resistance, and shielding properties of the conveyor belt. The outer layer may include graphene fiber layers, chlorinated ether rubber layers and far-infrared ceramic fiber layers, etc., to enhance the strength, water resistance and sterilization function of the conveyor belt.

Working principle: When the tubular conveyor belt is in operation, the belt gradually changes from a flat surface to a U shape and is finally rolled into a tubular shape to achieve closed conveying. Under the action of the drive roller, the material is moved on the tubular conveyor belt by the friction between the conveyor belt and the material, thus achieving the transportation of the material.

Product features

Good environmental protection performance: It adopts a closed conveying method, which can effectively prevent materials from flying, scattering and leaking, avoiding pollution to the environment. It is particularly suitable for conveying powdery and granular materials that are prone to dust, such as coal, cement, ores, etc.

The conveying line is flexible: It can turn in both horizontal and vertical planes, and can also turn simultaneously in both. The maximum horizontal bending Angle reaches 90 degrees, and the minimum bending radius is 300 times the pipe diameter. It can adapt to complex terrains such as mountainous areas, hills, and narrow urban streets, reducing the number of transfer points and making material transportation more stable.

Large conveying inclination Angle: The conveying inclination Angle can usually reach 30 degrees, and in some cases, it can be as high as 45 degrees. Compared with ordinary belt conveyors, it can stably convey materials at a larger inclination Angle, effectively shortening the overall length of the machine and reducing the floor space occupied by the equipment.

Stable and reliable operation: After the conveyor belt is tubular, its structure is stable and will not deviate, reducing the maintenance cost in the later stage. Meanwhile, the idler group of the tubular conveyor belt has a compact structure and occupies less space compared with the ordinary belt conveyor of the same capacity.

Good material protection: It can protect materials from external environmental influences such as rain, snow, strong winds, and dust, ensuring the quality and purity of the materials. This is particularly important for the transportation of materials that are sensitive to the environment, such as food, medicine, and chemical raw materials.
