Motridal manufactures belt conveyors for a wide range of applications, with steel or Nylon- Polyester carcass belt, with capacities up to 3.000 t/h. Thanks to the availability of belt covers in antiwear, oil-proof or thermo-resistant material, these equipment may be used in several industrial fields (cement factories, chemical, food industry.).

Every belt conveyor is designed in compliance with the most advanced and up-to-date international technical standards (CEMA, ISO) and Motridal's engineering department can provide, upon request, complete solutions, including steel structures and transfer towers. Motridal's machines are characterized by a self-supporting chassis, made up of steel commercial profiles, which requires a small number of supporting legs, allowing an easy mounting.

Depending on the different kind of application, the carrying stations can be two-rollers or three-rollers type, plane or concave. Impact rollers, lined with rubber, are used in loading and transfer points; for heavy-duty operations an impact cradle with impact bars in anti-wear, shock-absorber, low-friction material are used in place of impact rollers. Return rollers are lined with spaced rubber discs to prevent the material build-up. Drive and tail heads are supported by a reinforced steel structure and the drive drum is lined with chevron-grooved rubber, in order to increase the friction between the belt and the pulley.

For belt conveyors up to 50 m centerline a screw tensioning system is installed on the tail unit, while a gravity take-up is used for longer conveyors.

All accessories like skirtboards and cleaning systems are characterized by high functionality and reliability level and have been designed and developed by Motridal on the basis of its experience in the field of bulk materials. Motridal's conveyors are equipped with drive unit and all required safety devices, like pull rope emergency stop switch, speed monitoring switch, sway detectors.

All belt conveyors are equipped with components and accessories like skirtboards, covers, chutes and deck plates. Over 50 years experience manufacturing belt conveyors contributed to developing an exclusive belt cleaning system, including primary cleaner with tensioner, secondary multiblade cleaner and V-plow scraper.

SIDEWALL BELT CONVEYORS
Sidewall belt conveyors are used for conveying bulk solid materials over high inclinations (even along a vertical line) with high capacity. This machine represents a convenient alternative to a series of conveyors (belt conveyor/bucket elevator/belt conveyor) because it uses only one drive unit and eliminates transfer points, minimizing dusting and material pollution.

DUST-TIGHT BELT CONVEYORS
Motridal produces totally enclosed belt conveyors, suitable for conveying light and fluffy materials that may be windswept. Covers are complete of dust-tight seals and hinged and bolted hatches for easy inspection and maintenance. These machines are usually equipped with Motridal's cleaning chain which collects and recycles the material spilled from the return strand of the conveyor.

Belt feeders are used for extracting material from hoppers. These conveyors are characterized by highly wear-resistant belts, impact idlers with a small pitch (or impact bars) and low speed. Motridal's production includes a wide range of special-purpose belt conveyors, like, for example, reversible belt conveyors, mobile belt conveyors, conveyors with movable heads, tripper cars etc.

Stackers are machines composed by different types of belt conveyors: they are made of sidewall belt conveyors, trippers, mobile belt conveyors etc. All these machines are mounted on a structure, which may be fixed or mobile, complete of a swinging and lifting boom, which allows stocking material on a wide area. Motridal supplies complete systems expressly designed to comply with every type of storage requirements.
