The differences between sidewall belt conveyor and flat belt conveyor are mainly reflected in the conveying angle, design features, use performance and application scenarios.
Conveying angle:
sidewall belt conveyor with large angle conveying capacity, its maximum inclined angle of up to 90 degrees, and can even achieve vertical conveying, while the maximum inclined angle of the flat belt conveyor is generally not more than 28 degrees, mainly used for horizontal conveying. It is mainly used for horizontal conveying.
Design features:
The sidewall belt conveyor adopts the conveyor belt design of baffle and cleats, which effectively reduces the scattering problem of materials in the conveying process and improves the material conveying efficiency. In contrast, the design of flat belt conveyor focuses more on horizontal conveying and its structure is relatively simple.
Performance:
Because of its special design, the sidewall belt conveyor is excellent in conveying bulk materials, and can achieve a smooth transition of materials from horizontal to inclined, with high strength and longer service life of the belt. This ensures the stability and reliability of the conveying process. Although flat belt conveyor can also convey bulk materials, but there are limitations in large inclination conveying.
Application Scenarios:
Sidewall belt conveyor is widely used in coal,building materials, chemical industry, hydropower, agriculture, port and metallurgy. It is especially suitable for scenes requiring large angle or vertical conveying. Flat belt conveyor is more suitable for horizontal or small angle material conveying.
In summary, sidewall belt conveyor has significant advantages in continuous conveying of bulk materials due to its unique design and high angle conveying capacity, while flat belt conveyor has a significant advantage in horizontal or small angle material conveying due to its simple design and lower cost. The flat belt conveyor has a place in horizontal or small angle material conveying due to its simple design and lower cost.
