Overview
Belt conveyors, specifically the TP (flat section belt) and TC (concave section belt) models, are designed for transporting loose materials over both short and long distances. They are particularly suitable for handling abrasive materials with high moisture content.

Structure and Components
The structure of these conveyors consists of modular components made from shaped sheet metal with stiffening ribs. The supporting rollers for the belt are attached to this structure. The configuration of these rollers can be adjusted based on the material characteristics. The belt, or ring, is typically made from synthetic cloths coated with smooth rubber, although specialized rings can be used for specific applications.

Conveyor Ends and Drive Mechanism
The conveyor has two ends: the draft head and the return head. Drums installed on these heads maintain the belt tension. The driving unit is usually located at the draft head and can be configured with either a coaxial motor reducer using chain and pinions or a pendular reducer directly connected to the drum shaft, using pulleys and trapezoidal belts for motion transmission.

Models and Dimensions
The document provides detailed dimensions for various models of TP and TC conveyors, including TP 400, TP 500, TP 600, TP 800, and TC 400, TC 500, TC 600, TC 800. Dimensions are expressed in millimeters and are subject to change by the manufacturer.

Reversible and Wheeled Versions
The TP/TC conveyors can be manufactured in reversible and/or wheeled versions. Reversibility allows the belt to rotate in both directions, achieved by installing a reversible motion transmission unit. Wheeled versions enable the entire machine to move, facilitated by a carriage attached to the main structure and an additional motor reducer on the belt.

Additional Features
Optional features include protections with gaskets for concave belts and rain-proof covers. The document notes that the data provided is non-binding and subject to modifications. For product limitations, users should refer to the Use and Maintenance Handbook.
