a pipe conveyor belt is greater than that on a trough conveyor belt [7]. For trough conveyor belts, this force corresponds to between 50 and 60% of the total energy consumption of the equipment [7, 17, 27–31]. In addition, the belt can represent up to 70% of the conveyor cost [27]. These are the reported main advantages of a pipe conveyor …
