Large Angle Belt Conveyor: Revolutionary Innovation Breaking Traditional Conveying Angles

Working Principle: How to Achieve Steep Angle Conveying?

The core technology of large angle belt conveyors lies in their unique design structure. Unlike ordinary flat belts, they employ special belts with cross cleats or corrugated sidewalls, forming individual material "pockets." These pockets effectively carry materials during transportation, preventing them from sliding back or rolling down at steep angles.

The system typically includes key components such as base belts, cross cleats, sidewalls, and cover rubber. The cross cleats are vertically connected to the sidewalls, forming closed or semi-closed conveying units. When the belt operates, these units securely "lock" the materials in place, ensuring stable upward or downward transportation even under large inclination conditions.

The greatest advantage of large angle belt conveyors is their space efficiency. They can accomplish lifting tasks of the same height using only a fraction of the horizontal distance required by traditional conveyors, significantly saving installation space and civil engineering costs, especially suitable for space-constrained industrial environments.

Core Features and Advantages

Excellent Angle Adaptability

Capable of stable transportation at any angle between 30° and 90°, with maximum inclination up to 90° vertical conveying, meeting various complex working condition requirements.

Wide Material Compatibility

Suitable for various bulk materials including powders, granules, and lumps, such as coal, ores, fertilizers, grains, chemical raw materials, etc.

High Space Utilization

Compared to traditional conveying systems, can reduce floor space by over 60%, particularly suitable for factories and mines with limited space.

Stable Conveying Performance

Unique sidewall and cleat designs ensure materials do not spill or flow back during transportation, maintaining continuous and stable conveying efficiency.

Flexible Layout Options

Can achieve various conveying forms including horizontal, inclined, and vertical, and can be flexibly arranged and redirected according to site conditions.

Low Maintenance Costs

Simple and reliable structure, easy maintenance, operating costs approximately 30-40% lower than traditional vertical conveying equipment like bucket elevators.

Comparison with Traditional Conveying Equipment

Selection and Design Considerations

Selecting the appropriate large angle belt conveyor requires considering multiple factors: material characteristics (particle size, moisture, flowability), conveying capacity requirements, lifting height, working environment (indoor/outdoor, temperature, humidity), installation space limitations, etc. Modern large angle belt conveyors can also be equipped with intelligent control systems, enabling automated operation, fault monitoring, and preventive maintenance.

Recent technological developments include: modular design for easy installation and maintenance, wear-resistant materials to extend service life, energy-saving drive systems to reduce energy consumption, and intelligent monitoring to improve operational reliability. These innovations have elevated large angle belt conveyors to new heights in terms of efficiency, reliability, and economy.

Large angle belt conveyors represent a significant advancement in bulk material handling technology. They ingeniously combine space efficiency, conveying capacity, and operational reliability, providing innovative solutions for vertical and steep-angle material transportation problems across various industries. With the development of industrial automation and intelligence, large angle belt conveyors will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in future material handling systems, driving industrial conveying technology toward greater efficiency and intelligence.
