• Bulk port terminals loading and unloading materials in environmentally sensitive areas.
• Transporting coal or ore at mine sites.
• Conveying powdered cement or limestone rock in the cement industry.
• Transporting coal or disposing of ash in coal-fired power plants.

• The environment is protected from material spillage.
• The material being carried is protected from rain, dust, abnormal temperature fluctuations, and wind.
• Lower wastage and spillage leads to an improvement in maintenance and operational costs.
• Noise levels are reduced.
• The belt can negotiate vertical, horizontal, and 3-dimensional curves, even when there is a sharp turning radius. The number of transfer points is reduced because of this, leading to a lower overall conveyor length.
• The structural cost is greatly reduced by eliminating the canopy on top of the conveyor structure.
• Material can be conveyed at inclinations upto 35 degrees without carry back.
• High conveying speed.

Carcass

• Forech has perfected the technology of supplying steel cord reinforced pipe conveyor belts and synthetic fabric reinforced pipe conveyor belts upto a maximum width of 2500mm which translates to an inner diameter of 700mm with adequate overlap.
• Various combinations are available depending on conveying path configurations.
• Steel Cords are designed, open type and zinc coated.
• The fabric can either by Nylon (NN) or Polyester (EP) which is manufactured with a special weave according to the application.

Cover Grades

• Forech can manufacture pipe belts with all types of cover grades: General Purpose, Fire Resistant, Heat Resistant, Oil Resistant, Fire Resistant - Oil Resistant.
• We test our covers to IS, DIN, AS, SANS, ISO, or Canadian Standards; as the customer requires or specifies.
• Forech makes all covers in pipe belts ozone resistant, whether specified by a standard or not.
• Forech recommends LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) bottom covers. Low Rolling Resistance covers can be used in both general purpose and fire resistant belts.

Splicing

• Forech recommends the standard hot vulcanising technique to splice pipe conveyor belts.
• Forech is able to both supply splicing kits and provide splicing technicians and supervisors.

Design and Testing

• Before we begin production, we make multiple samples of pipe conveyor belts with different combinations of fabric, rubber formulation, and steel cord to develop a design with the ideal stiffness, flexibility, and fatigue resistance.
• After production, the belt is tested to international standards; as well as any additional requirements specified by either Forech or the customer.
