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
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
Technical Specifications

Safety & Compliance
  • Gas Monitoring: Automated O₂ sensors trigger alarms if oxygen exceeds 5% (configurable threshold).
  • Pressure Relief Valves: Auto-venting mechanism activates at 1.6 bar to prevent over-pressurization.
  • Anti-Static Design: Conductive belts and grounded rollers dissipate static charges (<10⁶ Ω resistance).
  • Compliance: Meets GB/T standards for pressurized equipment, ATEX directives (optional), and IECEx certifications.
Applications
  • Chemical Industry: Transporting solvents, polymers, and reactive powders.
  • Coal & Mining: Safe handling of methane-prone coal, sulfur, or combustible dusts.
  • Food & Pharma: Oxygen-sensitive products like edible oils, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
  • Waste Management: Processing flammable industrial waste or biomass.
Customization Options
  • Gas Type: Nitrogen (standard) or argon for high-reactivity materials.
  • Modular Design: Expandable length (10–100 m), Z-shaped or L-shaped layouts.
  • Smart Integration: Remote pressure/temperature monitoring via SCADA systems.
  • Material-Specific Upgrades: Abrasion-resistant liners, FDA-compliant belts, or high-temperature coatings (up to 120°C).
