Bulk material enclosed transporting system - uses hollow flexible cylinder cut open in lengthwise direction to form belt

摘要

The enclosed transporting system is for bulk material, and uses a hollow flexible cylinder (1). The wall of this is cut through in the lengthwise direction (12), so as to form an endless belt. This tends to return from the flat state into the original cylindrical one between the ends of a conveyor, thus enclosing the material handled as long as it is in the cylindrical state. ADVANTAGE - Simplicity, with no need for means to bring the belt into the cylindrical shape.
