Pressure-Resistant Belt Conveyors
Explosion-proof conveyor with nitrogen/argon purge for hazardous materials, 90° tilt capability.

Overview
The Pressurized Belt Conveyor is a specialized solution designed for hazardous environments where flammable, explosive, or volatile materials must be transported safely. By integrating an inert gas (nitrogen/argon) sealing system, this conveyor eliminates oxygen exposure, mitigating combustion risks. Ideal for vertical or steep-angle operations (up to 90°), it serves industries such as chemical processing, mining, pharmaceuticals, and grain handling, ensuring compliance with strict safety regulations.
Key Features
Safety & Compliance
- Explosion-Proof Design
- Inert gas-filled enclosure (N₂ or Ar) maintains oxygen levels below combustion thresholds.
- Hermetically sealed structure prevents gas leakage, with internal pressure stabilized at 0.5–1.5 bar (adjustable).
- Vertical & Steep-Angle Capability
- Maximum incline: 90° (vertical), enabled by cleated or bucket-style belts for material retention.
- Load capacity: Up to 800 t/h depending on material density and incline angle.
- Hazardous Environment Compliance
- Operational temperature range: -25°C to +40°C (per GB/T standards).
- Certified for Zone 1/21 hazardous areas (explosive dust/gas atmospheres).
