About
A cement handling conveyor is a specialized conveyor system used to transport cement and other materials used in the production of concrete. These conveyors are designed to move bulk quantities of cement from one location to another within a cement plant or other construction site.
Cement handling conveyors typically feature a troughed belt or chain conveyor with cleats or ridges to prevent the cement from spilling over the sides of the conveyor. They may also have dust collection systems to capture any cement particles that become airborne during transport.
Some key features of cement handling conveyors include:
- Durability: Cement handling conveyors are designed to withstand the abrasive and corrosive properties of cement, which can cause damage to less robust materials.
- Accurate metering: Accurate metering of cement is critical to the production of high-quality concrete. Cement handling conveyors may feature load cells or other devices to measure the amount of cement being transported.
- Dust control: Cement dust can be harmful to workers and the environment, so many cement handling conveyors have dust collection systems to capture any dust generated during transport.
- Customization: Cement handling conveyors can be designed to fit the specific needs of a particular application, such as the capacity of the conveyor, the distance it needs to travel, and the layout of the plant or construction site.
