Discover our primary pipe and high-integrity conveyor belts tailored for complex, curved routing and absolute dust containment in industrial settings.
Belgium stands as a critical logistical heartland of Europe. The expansion of major hubs like the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, combined with the legacy coal, steel, and cement works in Wallonia, has driven an intense demand for reliable bulk material handling solutions. At the same time, the European Green Deal and strict local environmental decrees (such as VLAREM III in Flanders) mandate that industrial sites minimize fugitive dust, chemical leakage, and noise pollution.
Antwerp's bulk cargo handling of grains, fertilizers, ores, and coal requires sealed systems. Pipe conveyor belts form a continuous sleeve that locks materials inside, preventing wind blowing off fine dust over water bodies and nearby urban ecosystems.
From deep quarrying sites near Liège to narrow processing plants in Ghent, spatial constraints make straight horizontal conveyors impossible. Pipe conveyors allow tight horizontal and vertical curvature, bypassing existing architecture without costly transfer stations.
"Closed pipe conveyor belts offer Belgian dry bulk handling plants a double benefit: zero environmental contamination from dust emissions and protection of critical raw material supply lines from rain, moisture, and oxidation."
Consequently, raw material terminals handling fly ash, sulfur, petcoke, and chemical powders are moving away from traditional open troughing systems. Our company, Hebei Boao Rubber Technology Co., Ltd., through the "Jinao" brand, brings custom compound innovations that perfectly align with Belgian operational expectations for durability, low energy consumption, and high safety standards.
Founded in 2004, Hebei Boao Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. is located in the Rubber Industrial Park of Boye County, Baoding, Hebei Province, occupying a state-of-the-art facility spanning more than 30 acres. For over 22 years, we have committed ourselves to the design, research, engineering, and manufacturing of premium industrial conveyor belts and conveying accessories under the widely recognized Jinao brand.
Our operation integrates raw rubber mastication, steel cord tensioning, multi-roll calendering, and high-pressure vulcanization. This end-to-end control allows us to meet and exceed international testing standards, securing international quality management system certifications. We cater heavily to major bulk handling projects across steel mills, cement plants, mining zones, and international marine port facilities.
The core challenge of pipe conveyor belt engineering lies in balancing the longitudinal flexibility (for wrapping around driving pulleys) with the transverse stiffness required to form and retain a stable tubular profile. If the transverse stiffness is too low, the pipe collapses or sags between the idler panels; if too high, the belt demands excessive driving motor energy, leading to structural stress and accelerated belt wear.
Engineered overlap profiles prevent dust escape while maintaining consistent elastic memory. Designed to open dynamically at loading/unloading terminals and close tightly instantly.
Specially formulated bottom cover rubbers reduce indentation rolling resistance against the idlers, cutting energy consumption by up to 12% in long-distance applications.
Multi-ply EP/NN fabrics or high-tensile steel cord structures provide superior fatigue resistance, preventing ply separation over millions of structural transitions.

Our engineering services cover the entire lifecycle of industrial conveyor belts. We recognize that field splices on pipe conveyor belts are extremely critical; a slight misalignment in steel cord positioning can cause the belt to rotate or fail during forming. We provide comprehensive splicing maps, vulcanizing compound kits, and optional on-site technical inspection oversight.
Detailed wear inspections and predictive modeling help you plan maintenance during scheduled facility shutdowns, reducing costly unplanned downtime.
We offer guaranteed safety stock programs, holding custom belt batches in localized warehouses to respond rapidly to emergencies.
We provide cold-bond adhesives, tie-gum sheets, cover rubber compounds, and hot-vulcanizing solutions formulated for high mechanical bonding.
