Clean, safe and able to negotiate curves of up to 180°
The SICON® conveyor belt remains closed from the feeding point through to the discharge point. It is therefore able to meet particularly stringent requirements with regard to its ability to negotiate curves, its cost-efficiency and its environmental compatibility.
SICON® conveyor belts offer extreme flexibility when it comes to designing the layout of the line, allowing them to be perfectly tailored to any environment. They can cope with corners and edges without the need for additional transfer points. Cornering radii of less than a meter can be achieved, making it possible to establish serpentine routing, which is often required to cope with major altitude differences over very short distances.
Construction
Vertical guide pulley
Two steel cords vulcanized into the belt with a common axis to enable extremely short radii
Support pulleys tilted to close the belt
Two profiles led by the guide and support pulleys
Pouch-shaped section of belt for carrying the material being conveyed
Properties
Copes well with steeply rising topography in narrow areas
Eliminates the need for transfer points thanks to its excellent ability to negotiate curves
Non-polluting as the belt is closed on the return trip
Allows for a two-way conveyor system: belt can be loaded in both directions; varying routing possible for trip out and back
Prevents dust emissions
Protects sensitive materials
Lightweight and flexible, easy to install; self-centering between guide pulleys and support pulleys
