Abstract
An experimental model of a pipe belt conveyer system was equipped in order to test the vertical conveyance of a bulk solid. An endless conveyer belt consisted of a clear polyvinyl tube 18mm in diameter and 3700mm long, which was cut open on the side. The cross-section of the belt therefore was round in shape.When the belt run through many frames was installed with carrier rollers, it was easily formed into a pipe belt by overlapping the right and left hand sides. Also the pipe belt was formed into horizontal and vertical lines and right-angled bends. The curvature of the bend was seven times as large as the diameter of the pipe belt. This small bend was necessary for the vertical conveyance.The new conveyor system was found to be available for the vertical conveyance of bulk solids. When the feed of bulk solids was stopped, however, content remained in at the vertical line of the pipe belt. A mean was required to eliminate the remaining contents.
