BELT CONVEYOR FEATURES

Size: 18” – 72” wide
Capacity: up to 8,000 TPH
Standard troughed belt conveyors are usually comprised of conveyor belting, riding on heavy-
duty troughed idlers, ranging in angles from 20°-45°, each securely mounted to a structural steel
frame.
Troughed belt conveyors can be run at various inclined angles, typically between 0°-20° (30° with
cleated/chevron belting).
 
TROUGHED SIDE WALLS
One of the greatest benefits of the troughed belt conveyor over a flat belt is increased capacity.
The trough design also contains and arranges the material in one continuous stream, while at the
same time, eliminating spillage. The troughed belt can also help shield the material from
unforeseen forces, such as airflow from other equipment operating nearby.
 
DUST CONTROL AT LOAD POINTS
Integrated skirtboard and exhaust ports provide additional control for each customer’s specific
scenario. These are usually located at the tail section of the conveyor, where the material is
loaded onto the belt. This design has dual functionality; it centers the material on the belt and
contains dust and fines. Often times, a dust pick off point is also located at the top of the
discharge hood.

TRUSS FRAME
Heavy-duty box truss frames are available in several standard depths. This type of frame
construction is utilized when long spans are required between support points. In addition to span
length, other load factors such as wind, snow, etc., are accounted for in proper truss selection.
 
CHANNEL FRAME
The channel frame is typically utilized for conveyors that do not require long spans between
supports. They are also often used when located close to grade, thus not requiring a
cantilevered walkway. With that in mind, the channel frame conveyors get the same precision
engineering that is expected from all FEECO material handling equipment.
