In-Plant Conveyors
In-plant conveyors form the backbone of many operations and are utilized within the mining, minerals processing, paper & pulp and power generation industries to receive/unload, stockpile, reclaim and deliver various material types within a plant.
Interconnecting system equipment
In-plant conveyors interconnect system equipment within brownfield or greenfield operations. Such equipment can range from ship, barge, wagon (railcar) or truck loaders and/or unloaders, as well as stackers, reclaimers, storage bins/hoppers, feeders, crushers, screens and other equipment.
Flexibility and reliability
The focus for such conveyor solutions is to easily integrate within the existing constraints of your operations and/or be sufficiently flexible to expand and adapt to changing requirements as new equipment, lines or capacity increases are added to your operations.
As simple as it sounds, such conveying systems need to be designed with robustness and reliability from the start with the capability to efficiently operate under arduous conditions day-in-and-day out, reducing downtime and increasing overall operational efficiency.
Continued focus on flexibility with varied specifications according to specific handling requirements
Conveyor lengths can vary from short distances of just a few meters up to ~1.6 km (1 mi) or so. Belt widths are typically between ~450 mm (18 in) and ~2,135 mm (84 in) depending on the capacity, application and client/project requirements. As such, conveying capacities can vary from just a few tons per hour up to ~7,500 t/h.
Such conveying solutions can be located indoors or outdoors and can be constructed of simple stringers and post supports, or be elevated on deck-type trusses, or in rectangular or tubular galleries.
Depending on requirements, in-plant conveyors can also integrate belt scales, metal detectors, magnetic separators and various types of material analyzers and sampling equipment.
