Longest single flight conveyor system
At 19 km, this TAKRAF overland conveyor system for the greenfields Utkal Alumina Project is the longest single flight conveyor system to be installed within Indian territory to date.
The contract, from UAIL, called for an overland conveyor system to transport bauxite through challenging, undulating terrain from the Baphlimali mines to a new 4.5 mtpa alumina plant. In its final configuration, the system comprises two single flight conveyors of 14.5 km and 3.6 km in length, respectively. The 2,850 t/h conveyor system has a drop of 250 m and passes through some 45 crossings over its total span of travel from material loading to discharge.
