VRF

A transport system which is

taking every curve and slope
Sustainable transport solution: Pipeconveyor VecoBelt VFR

The pipe belt conveyor “VecoBelt” is ideal for conveying bulk materials over long distances either horizontally or on
a slight incline. The material being transported glides on a cushion of air in a closed steel tube.
