Belt Conveyors Engineered for the Application
ALWO belt conveyors transfer bulk materials or products between stages of an industrial process. Conveyor length, width, inclination and conveying element are selected around the material, required capacity and operating conditions.
Construction options
- rubber or technical-fabric belt selected for the load and environment;
- metal belt where the application requires this construction;
- cleats, flights, scrapers or buckets for material control and inclined conveying;
- electric drive with a motor and gearbox sized for the duty point;
- support structure, loading points and discharge interfaces adapted to the installation.
Engineering inputs
- material type, bulk density, particle-size distribution and temperature;
- moisture, abrasiveness and tendency to adhere;
- required throughput, route length and elevation change;
- operating regime and cleaning conditions;
- interfaces with upstream and downstream equipment.
Safety: rollers, pulleys and drive nip points require guarding. Emergency stops, belt-alignment and speed monitoring, and controls for combustible dust are defined from the risk assessment and final installation layout.
