Pipetrans, Pipecord

Based on an original idea combining know-how and technical innovation, this handling system makes it possible not only to preserve the environment but also to protect the product conveyed.

The tubular conveyor can be used to convey all types of products in bulk, from the finest to the coarsest, with a tube diameter two and a half times greater than the maximum grain size.

The types of materials which can be conveyed by the tubular conveyor are extremely varied and currently include various sorts of materials of a powdery nature (cements, ash, fly ash, etc.) or otherwise (coal, coke, ore, limestone, gypsum, sludge, fertiliser, sugar, wood chips, etc.).

Solutions for tubular conveyors

The PIPETRANS / PIPECORD range is renowned for providing an ideal solution for this type of handling.

The PIPETRANS range consists of a specially-designed twoply or multiply structure of woven fabrics (polyester warp/polyamide weft) with cutting of plies in the longitudinal direction to enable overlaping of the edges of the tube.

The PIPECORD range has a carcass consisting of:

• in warp: special high-elasticity cords alternately stranded right and left to counterbalance the twist of the tube

• in wefts: special high-elasticity cords of a width designed to provide the appropriate transverse rigidity and enable the overlaping of the edges. It should be noted that the design of the weft is important as it must ensure the maintaining of the tubular shape of the belt in all cases of stress applied to it, particularly on curves, and must prevent the crushing of the belt.
