Reinforced systems for the transport of abrasive materials
The transport of abrasive materials such as sand, cement, metal oxides or mineral powders places high stress on every component of the system.
For this reason HIWAY designs reinforced mechanical conveyors, made with wear-resistant materials and components capable of lasting longer.
Our systems ensure safe and controlled material handling.

Application case
HiWay system for the automatic handling of dolomite
The main feature of this system is the considerable length of the transport path. It is composed of three UNI 168 mechanical conveyors with vertical drive unit, designed to move the material along a route exceeding one hundred metres.
The loading of the product is regulated by two pairs of rotary valves positioned under the silos, which dose the incoming material towards two mechanical conveyors made of painted iron. The two transport lines, independent from each other, convey the product to a dedicated discharge point.
To guarantee flow continuity and maximum operational reliability, one of the lines has been designed in double configuration, so as to ensure the route along the entire circuit without interruptions.
- Ø Tube: 168 mm
- Motorisation: from 5.5 to 7.5 kW
- Capacity: 15 m³/h
- Material density: 1 Kg/dm³
Loading of the silos through rotary valves.
Mechanical conveyors (UNI 168) that
selectively discharge the material.
Possibility of very long paths by placing 2 lines side by side.
