Pipe conveyors overcome several problems commonly associated with conventional conveyors, including:
Spillage of materials
Belt training issues
Limited angles of conveyance
Horizontal curve limitations
Multiple transfer flights
Applications
Mainly used for transportation of bulk solids in cement, fertilizer, coal, powder, steel, pulp and paper, and food grains industries.
