Full pockets for constant handling rates

摘要

Higher conveying volume with minimum cleaning expenditure - the use of solid-rubber belt pockets for the operation of continuous conveyors is a conveying technology still hardly known (Fig. 1). Recently a company in the lime industry was so convinced of this that they immediately ordered 70 of these pockets for conveying systems from the manufacturer REMA TIP TOP Material Handling GmbH. The rubber pockets, which are suspended with a steel frame in the transport chain of the handling system and which are discharged automatically, have a larger capacity than corrugated edge belts as well as a consistently high handling rate with almost double the lifting height. The wear- and corrosion-resistant properties of the flexible solid rubber prevent coating of the material being conveyed.
