A well-designed troughed belt conveyor generally exhibits minimal material spillage. Unfortunately, spillage is an all-too-common problem for many plant managers dealing with troughed belt conveyors that weren’t adequately designed for their application. Fortunately, there are several ways to address troughed belt conveyor spillage. The following …
FEECO manufactures two bucket elevator designs: centrifugal and continuous. They are built to move bulk materials vertically, and offer their own distinct advantages to the bulk handling operation at hand. Continuous bucket elevators are used for less vigorous bulk material handling applications. The slow speed …
The objective shared by incline conveyors and steep incline conveyors – to convey bulk solids on an incline – often presents confusion in determining which type of conveyor is best for a given application. While both offer an effective handling solution, these two conveyor types …
As the driving power behind a troughed belt conveyor, the drive assembly is a critical component in a conveyor’s ability to perform reliably and efficiently in the long term. Also known as the drive arrangement, the drive assembly is what supplies the torque to create …
