Ways of unification and improvement of belt conveyors design

Abstract

One of the most important technical problems of mining industry development is the problem of transportation of large volumes of rock mass. The solution of this problem should provide a significant increase in the productivity of transportation plants. The newest transport equipment should satisfy a number of other requirements, the most important of which are: a) increase of labor productivity at transport works; b) increase of reliability of transport work and complete elimination of delays in work of excavation machines due to transport; c) decrease of cost of transportation of bulk cargoes; d) all possible introduction of automatic control of transport complexes; e) increase of service life of transport mechanisms and replacement of the most expensive and scarce materials used for their manufacture; f) decrease of the cost of transportation of large volumes of rock mass. Of exceptional importance is the creation of productive and reliable installations for transportation of huge volumes of bulk cargoes during large hydraulic engineering construction and at modern open-pit mines equipped with the latest mining machines of high productivity and power.
