For the continuous handling of bulk materials, free of transfer points belt conveyors with belt-to-belt intermediate drives are of advantage. Apart from controlling belt tensions in long and steep, ascending and descending conveyors, safe belt tracking horizontal curves with the smallest radii can be realized with the aid of TT intermediate drives.
The Complete Guide To Industrial Conveyors
Conveyor systems are an important segment of intralogistics. They serve as bulk material handling equipment – they transfer products, goods, or any other type of materials from point A to point B that are usually located in the same area or even building. The industries that benefit the most from conveyors include:
Analysis of ore flow through longitudinal belt conveyor transfer point
A transfer point is an element of a belt conveyor prone to increased energy losses and to the risk of failure. It is also a location in which the receiving belt is particularly susceptible to damage.
