Troughed Conveyors

Overview

Troughed conveyors are the workhorse of bulk material handling. ARM Automotion designs and builds troughed belt conveyor systems that form the belt into a trough shape using angled idler rollers, maximising carrying capacity while minimising material spillage during transport.

Key Features

• Troughing angles of 20°, 35°, and 45° for optimal material containment
• Heavy-duty idler frames and rollers rated for continuous high-tonnage operation
• Self-aligning return idlers to prevent belt tracking issues
• Sealed bearings and dust-resistant construction for harsh environments
• Impact idlers at loading zones to absorb material drop force
• Modular design for easy maintenance and component replacement

Applications

Troughed conveyors are ideal for transporting coal, ore, limestone, clinker, aggregates, and other bulk materials in mining operations, cement plants, power stations, and port facilities. They excel at moving large volumes over moderate to long distances.

Technical Capabilities

• Belt widths from 600mm to 2400mm
• Throughput capacities exceeding 8,000 tonnes per hour
• Incline angles up to 18° depending on material properties
• Available with rain covers, wind guards, and walkway systems
