They are effective in transporting product over long distances at high productivity, and when required to prevent crushing of cereals, legumes and oilseeds or other product such as flakes.
The plant of elevator equipment “Sokol” manufactures belt conveyors, both horizontal and inclined, open and closed. A feature of the belt conveyors is the unloading carts, which make it possible to organize intermediate grain unloading. The modular design of the belt conveyor developed by the Sokol plant allows quick assembly of the conveyor. Special loading sections distribute the load in the center, preventing the tape from slipping off and the product spilling out at the loading point. The iron rollers used in the conveyor ensure high reliability and long service life. Installation of drives of both domestic and foreign production allows you to select the necessary equipment based on economic, operational and financial factors.
Of the advantages of belt conveyors , the following factors can be distinguished:
- simplicity of design, energy efficiency,
- great performance,
- reliability, durability,
- low operating costs,
- minimal crushing.
- The price for belt conveyors is lower than for scraper conveyors of similar performance.
Disadvantages are:
- large weight-overall dimensions,
- complexity and high cost with a large number of intermediate unloading.
