What is the belt speed of a pipe conveyor?
The belt speed, pipe diameter, capacity, site conditions, material characteristics and lump size are selected for each specific installation. The greatest belt speed on a Conveyor Lit pipe is 4,2 m/s on a 900 m long, 2500 tph installation at Richards Bay, South Africa. Belt speeds of 6 m/s and more are possible but may not be practical.
