The PURATEK-line®conveyor design differs significantly from all conventional conveyors and allows
the transport of bulk material through a three-dimensional curved path.
The PURATEK-line® can transport the material up in a very inclined way and divert it horizontally. Instead of using at least 3 convectional belt conveyors, only one PURATEK-line® 3D conveyor can be used for the same job saving you a great calculation margin in the building and investment costs. High operational efficiency and minimal maintenance effort characterize the conveyor design and operation.
The conveyor belt consists of individual segments (belt segments) which are attached to each other to form a watertight conveyor track. Form stable struts incorporated in each segment form a durable, but elastic belt troughing. The belt moves by rolling of each segment on conveyor guides. Tensile forces are absorbed by a solid chain.
Conveying studs molded into the belt allow the material to be conveyed in an inclined way up to 45°, which corresponds to as twice as the inclination which a conventional flat belt conveyor has. The pre-molded studs are stretched as the belt passes over the circulation station. Dry material falls from the flat and smooth surface in a natural way; sticky material can be scraped off the belt with a scraper.
Due to the trough shape of the belt, the material is guided safely and contamination is avoided. Accessories such as drip pans, top belt covers and edge strips are available in hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless steel.
