A trough belt conveyor is a machine that uses a trough-shaped belt to transport heavy materials over long distances and at high speeds. The belt is wrapped and overlapped at the edges by a mobile roller that slides along the belt's length. 

Trough belt conveyors are used in many industries, including:

• Cement: To transport bulk materials from quarries to cement plants 
• Food: To move materials in food processing plants 
• Coal: To pack coal 
• Sand and gravel: To move sand and gravel 
• Package handling: To handle packages 

Here are some features of trough belt conveyors:

• Trough shape

  The trough shape helps to safely transport materials over difficult terrain with less spillage. 

• High mass flow

  Trough belt conveyors can transport large volumes of coarse and heavy materials at high speeds. 

• Design

  Trough belt conveyors can be horizontal or inclined, and can have smooth, rough, or cleated belts. 

• Maintenance

  Some trough belt conveyors are designed to be easy to clean and maintain. 

• Belt material

  The belt is often made from a reinforced polymer that is resistant to fire and corrosion.
