Designed to outperform conventional pipe conveyor belt.

Most pipe conveyor belt is using technology more than 15 years old. This can lead to numerous conveying issues, including fatigue-induced collapse of the pipe shape, opening of the overlap seal and downward rotation of the overlap seal. The unique patent-pending reinforcement of ConfineTM provides enhanced transverse stiffness which allows greater resistance to collapse, excellent seal closure and resistance to downward rotation-regardless of the path the belt must travel.

Keeping it clean.

Because of its closed belt design, ConfineTM provides dust-free transport of materials, keeping finer materials within the belt and not lost to the air. Meanwhile, the transported materials are protected from damaging external elements like wind and rain.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling: Goodyear Confine & Standard pipe conveyor belt

Engineered to work a long way.

Developed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling to meet the demands of modern pipe conveyor systems, ConfineTM is engineered to give you more. Comprehensive research, including dynamic belt testing to validate the FEA, allowed us to create a belt that can withstand the stresses of a long haul, especially around tight curves. Plus it's built with unique characteristics that allow ConfineTM to keep its shape.

  • Superb long-term transverse stiffness
  • Excellent overlap seal
  • Reduced buckling and minimized seam rotation in curves

The FEA modeling provides the basis to design a belt to meet the demanding requirements of pipe conveyor systems and delivering a lower cost per ton conveyed.
