Pipe Conveyor Belts are designed for enclosed bulk-material transportation where space is limited, environmental protection is important, and material spillage needs to be minimized. Unlike conventional open conveyor systems, the belt forms a pipe-like enclosed configuration around the conveyed material, helping protect the material from external conditions while reducing dust and spillage.
These belts are capable of negotiating horizontal and vertical curves, making them suitable for complex conveyor routes and installations where straight-line conveying is not practical. Their enclosed design can also reduce the requirement for intermediate transfer points, helping simplify material-handling systems and potentially reduce operating and maintenance requirements.
Pipe conveyor systems can be engineered for inclinations of up to approximately 35°, depending on the material, belt construction and overall conveyor design. Asmatek Industries can provide belt constructions tailored to the specific application, conveyed material and operating conditions.

Why Choose Pipe Conveyor Belts?
The enclosed conveying principle makes pipe conveyor systems particularly useful when dust control, spillage prevention, route flexibility and limited space are major considerations. By following curved routes and reducing the number of transfer points, a properly engineered system can provide a compact and efficient bulk-material transportation solution.
