RPS Engineering’s CH-Series hood assemblies are full 180° coverage and are hinged so they can be quickly and easily opened for inspecting or viewing the items being conveyed.  They also allow for ease of repairing, replacing, greasing or inspecting of the idlers.  Conveyor hoods help to protect the belt, idlers and material being conveyed from the hot sun, wind, snow, rain and other damaging weather elements.

RPS Engineering’s CH75-Series hood assembly is ¾, 135° coverage with a 45° degree opening. This series is stationary.  They help to protect the belt, idlers and material being conveyed from the hot sun, wind, snow, rain and other damaging weather elements, but still allow one to view the belt and items conveyed without having to touch the covers.

RPS Engineering’s CHCO-Series hood assembly is full corrugated cover and band with a 180° coverage.  Because these are corrugated, these are more rigid and made from a heavier gauge material than our standard CH smooth series.  They are quick opening and hinged for inspecting or viewing the items being conveyed.  They also allow for ease of repairing, replacing, greasing or inspecting of the idlers.  They help to protect the belt, idlers and material being conveyed from the hot sun, wind, snow, rain and other damaging weather elements.

RPS Engineering’s CHLC-Series hood assembly is a ¾ corrugated cover and band with a 135° coverage.  Because the corrugations are parallel with the belt, these are a more economical cover system.  They are stationary with a standard 45° opening.  This allows for inspecting or viewing the items being conveyed and the ease of repairing, replacing, greasing or inspecting of the idlers without touching the cover assemblies.  They help to protect the belt, idlers and material being conveyed from the hot sun, wind, snow, rain and other damaging weather elements.
