Agudio Flyingbelt, technology with no barriers

The Flyingbelt is a patented system combining the advantages of conveyor belts and rope-hauled systems into a unique product for its efficiency and reliability, ideal for the mining, extraction and cement fields, as well as big construction sites.

The adoption of standard components used also for traditional conveyor belts (rubber mats, rollers, motor drums, instruments, etc.) enabled Agudio to develop the patented concept of Flyingbelt, thus creating a new type of conveyor belt which is no longer placed on the ground inside a metal structure, but hanging on four carrying ropes.

As it is not affected by the soil morphological conditions, the Flyingbelt can be used in any contexts, with a considerable reduction in the costs resulting from civil works, excavations and supporting structures usually required by conventional transport systems.

The adoption of standard components used also for traditional conveyor belts enables the Flyingbelt to be a highly innovative system but, at the same time, ordinary for its operating and maintenance methods and costs. Moreover, the Flyingbelt can be used for hybrid systems, where the same belt can run both hanging on ropes and on traditional supports laying on the ground.

Loading and unloading

The material loading operations are carried out by the Flyingbelt like a traditional conveyor belt, i.e. by means of a loading chute specifically designed by Agudio’s engineers according to the type and size of material. Unloading from the Flyingbelt can range from “heap discharge” to unloading inside a station fitted with storage and material handling equipment.

Specific know-how

Agudio’s know-how does not only concern the Flyingbelt but also other types of equipment normally used for material transportation, such as traditional conveyor belts, hoppers, feeders, etc., thus offering Customers a comprehensive suite of options for material handling and storage.

Inspection and maintenance

The Flyingbelt is equipped with a special vehicle specifically designed for inspection and maintenance operations which runs along the line powered by a dedicated winch. The personnel can carry out normal inspection and maintenance operations safely as this vehicle is designed according to the most advanced standards applied to rope-hauled systems for people transportation.

Stability and safety

The Flyingbelt engineering and geometry criteria guarantee the system safety and stability also in adverse weather conditions, e.g. in case of strong wind.
