Now in its 44th year, this prestigious conference is recognized globally as a valuable resource in bringing the very latest developments in materials handling to a wide audience. Up-to-date research, new conveyor techniques, report-backs on methodology and installations and new technology are presented by some of the most eminent international conveying specialists.
TAKRAF Group’s Dr. Mario Dilefeld, Head of Belt Conveyor Systems at TAKRAF Germany, will deliver a paper entitled “Chuquicamata Underground Mine Project, Powerful Conveyors with Gearless Drives in Operation.” This paper will delve into TAKRAF’s design and delivery of the “world’s most powerful belt conveyor system” in Chile and the numerous innovations that resulted in six patents being implemented. This mega materials handling project, boasting a total installed drive power of 58 MW, boasts highly efficient electric drive motors, which replaced diesel truck engines and resulted in CO2 emissions produced by transporting the material being reduced by more than two thirds for the same copper production volume.
Further to Dr. Dilefeld’s paper, our TAKRAF South Africa team will also be present with a booth where event participants will be able to engage with our engineering specialists regarding development of the world’s future reserves as renewed interest, specifically around future facing commodities, spurns investment in our industry.
Please note that the Beltcon conference and exhibition is not open to the public and anyone wishing to attend the event requires being registered as a delegate.
