Conveying

For operators looking for high capacity, lighter density bulk material conveying, the Bruks Tubulator is a very cost effective option. It is especially well suited for long distances up to 500m and for high overhead installations.

On a belt width-for-width basis, the Tubulator achieves capacities up to 40% higher than comparable conventional idler belt conveyors at very low energy consumption levels and is ideal for transporting wood chips, sawdust, bark, pellets and other low density bulk materials.

As well as its very quiet operating profile and low energy demands, the Bruks Siwertell Tubulator conveyor is totally enclosed. This ensures that it meets the highest environmental protection standards and eliminates material losses from the conveying line.

The Tubulator comes in two basic forms: one is totally enclosed on the transport and return sides using an air carry return (ACR). In this version the return belt is supported on a cushion of air provided by a separate blower. The second alternative design uses rollers with 3m spacing to support the return side belt or roller carry return (RCR).

 The Bruks Siwetell Tubulator has very low operating and maintenance costs. These are largely due to the fact that the belt runs on a cushion of pressurised air which reduces frictional forces to a minimum. This has a positive impact on wear parts and eliminates idlers which have their own maintenance requirements in the conveying trough.

The low friction air cushion technology has low power consumption demands which reduces operating costs. Its no-load power requirement is much lower than conventional belt conveyors.
