Veyance Technologies says its new Goodyear Confine pipe-shaped conveyor belt uses finite element analysis technology to keep material and dust in, and wind and rain out. It is designed to stay sealed while traveling through curves and inclines built into in-plant and overland systems. According to the company, where conventional pipe conveyor belts collapse and twist, Confine’s patent-pending arrangement of steel-cable and fabric reinforcement helps the belt retain its shape.
