Tsubaki NAB-R Aprovator (Continuous rubber bottom bucket specification) Conveyors in Eco-related Industries
Suitable for conveying materials such as sediment and sludge.
Tsubaki NAB-R Aprovator (continuous rubber bottom bucket specification) can handle adhesive materials that couldn't be conveyed by previous Aprovators.
Features and Conveying Capacity -- NAB-R Aprovator
- Uses rubber sheets with wear resistance for the bottom of the buckets.
- The rubber sheets can flexibly move along with the bending of the buckets, which makes conveyed material come off easy and minimizes adhesion.
- Reduced energy loss thanks to its stable conveyance capacity with less adhesion.
- Compatible with any NAB Aprovator currently in use.
Conveying capacity
| Model number | Conveying capacity (m3/h) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| S = 5m/min | S = 10m/min | S = 15m/min | |
| NAB250R | 1.5 | 3.0 | 4.5 |
| NAB400R | 3.0 | 6.0 | 9.0 |
| NAB600R | 6.5 | 13.0 | 19.5 |
- Note 1: The above table shows conveying capacity calculated at water level when the tilt angle is 90° (*See the Figure 1).
The actual conveying capacity differs depending on the tilt angle of the Aprovators or the nature of the conveyed materials. - Note 2: 45° , 60° , 75°, and 90° are standard tilt angles.
Comparison with Conventional Aprovators
Comparison of the volume of remaining material in buckets after feeding and discharging.
Conventional Aprovator
When feeding
When discharging
- The volume of remaining material in buckets is large as they adhere in there.
- ·Increased bucket weight
- ·Lower conveying capacity
- ·Large energy loss
NAB-R Aprovator
When feeding
When discharging
- The volume of remaining material in buckets is small as they come off easy.
- ·Nearly constant bucket weight
- ·Stable conveying capacity
- ·Small energy loss
- The comparison above shows our in-house test results and is not guaranteed.
Points of caution
- Plan to constantly feed material into the Aprovator.
- Cannot handle high-temperature conveyed material (over 70°C).
- Attach rubber sheets on the buckets at worksite.
- Contact a Tsubaki representative to determine the proper specification.
