Pipe Conveyors overcome challenging terrain. The flexible tubular shape means pipe conveyors can overcome steep inclines and thus make transfer towers and power stations redundant. This is a key factor, especially in comparison to other conveyor belt systems. When a pipe conveyor must traverse a downward incline, this motion can be used to efficiently recover energy. The structurally flexible, low-maintenance system with a small footprint can conquer even the most challenging terrain and keep existing facilities in use and in place.
