Pipe Conveyors

Overview

Pipe conveyors enclose the belt into a tubular shape after loading, completely containing the material during transport. ARM Automotion engineers pipe conveyor systems that eliminate dust emissions, prevent spillage, and allow tight-radius curves — ideal for environmentally sensitive sites and complex routing.

Key Features

• Fully enclosed material path eliminates dust and spillage
• Ability to navigate tight horizontal and vertical curves
• Simultaneous material transport on carry and return strands
• Reduced environmental footprint with no fugitive emissions
• Lower noise levels compared to open troughed conveyors
• Suitable for steep inclines and complex route profiles

Applications

Pipe conveyors are the preferred solution where environmental compliance is critical — cement plants near residential areas, port terminals handling dusty commodities, and mining operations with strict environmental permits. They also suit routes that require multiple changes in direction.

Technical Capabilities

• Pipe diameters from 150mm to 500mm
• Capacities up to 4,000 tonnes per hour
• Horizontal curve radii as tight as 300m
• Conveyor lengths exceeding 10km in single-flight configurations
• Full 3D route optimisation and structural analysis
