Design Features

The conventional solid idler panel
Note the idlers are mounted on both sides of the panel for superior belt training and operation 

Note also that only one training idler is employed at the bottom of the carrying-side belt.            

Panel / idler pitch is typically 2 m for overland sections and 1 m for curved sections.

The overland sections are generally not sheeted

Transition section - Belt closing
Adjustable troughing idlers are used in conjunction with finger rollers throughout the transition sections, to guide the belt into the tube formation after the loading point.                                      

The length of the closing transition section is determined by the width / diameter of the belt and whether the belt is fabric or steel cord.

Over-fill trip detectors are installed in the closing section of the conveyor, to trip the belt in the event of over filling, which could lead to damage to the structure and / or mechanical components.

The discharge transition section
As with the loading section, adjustable troughing idlers are used in conjunction with finger rollers throughout the transition sections, to guide the belt as it opens from the tube form.

The open section is generally sheeted to protect the product.

The discharge transition
The discharge transition section, from the pipe formation to a conventionally troughed belt, ready for discharge over the head pulley.

The length of the opening transition section is also determined by the width / diameter of the belt and whether the belt is fabric or steel cord, as is the loading section transition length.
