Application of rope bucket elevators for mine hoisting
Authors:
Abstract
Transportation of minerals along vertical mine shafts is carried out mainly by skip hoisting. This type of lifting, being an intermittent transportation unit, has a number of disadvantages. The main ones are as follows: 1) the necessity of construction of intermediate containers (reloading hoppers) at the pit bottom and on the surface, designed to mitigate the unevenness of lifting and transportation on the surface; 2) the complexity of full automation of the lifting process due to the need to continuously change the mode of operation of the engine; 3) high specific energy consumption and increased installed power of the engine, caused by the inclusion of starting rheostats and the presence of peak loads at each lifting cycle.
