Wide Belt Conveyor
Integrated Green Pellet Conveying Solution for Modern Iron Ore Pelletizing Plants
Description
​
The Wide Belt Conveyor is a heavy-duty conveying solution specifically designed for green pellet handling in iron ore pelletizing plants. It is designed to collect green pellets from a reciprocating head belt conveyor and convey them efficiently to either a double-deck or single-deck roller screen/feeder, ensuring stable and continuous material flow within the iron ore pelletizing process.
To achieve optimal process integration, the belt width is typically designed to match the width of the downstream roller screen/feeder or furnace grate. This design approach promotes uniform pellet distribution, minimizes material spillage, and supports smooth downstream screening and firing operations. Each Wide Belt Conveyor is engineered in accordance with specific iron ore pelletizing plant operating conditions, including operating hours, duty cycles, intermittency, and local site requirements.
