Located in Queensland, Australia, this innovative bulk materials handling project features two conveyor belts with a combined length of 4,300 meters. A belt, with a width of 1050 mm, transports 1400 tons per hour at 4 meters per second. The other, wider at 1200 mm, handles 2000 tons per hour at the same speed.
These conveying systems use trolley-type tensioning devices and are constructed with 3-meter modular sections for the frames and roller groups, allowing them to be easily expanded as the mine develops. The storage capacity of the belt is 300 meters, maintained by winch tensioning.
Located on the outside of the tunnel, the head of the conveyor includes a double walkway platform. Below, the storage belt area and drive mechanism are fenced for added security, ensuring a reliable and efficient material transport solution.
