Abstract

A tubular belt conveyor can convey powdered or granular material without leakage continuously. The belt conveyor comprises a forward path and a return path and is opened into flattened shapes which are wound around a driving and a follower roller at both ends. The forward and return paths are on the same vertical plane in the vicinity of the driving and follower rollers and are in the same substantially horizontal plane therebetween so as to simplify foundation, maintenance and inspection.
