A new technology for steep incline high capacity open pit conveying.

A new technology for steep incline high capacity open pit conveying.
ContiTech, Siemens, and Thyssenkrupp have founded a research and development consortium to develop and market a Chevron-MegaPipe® conveyor. The new conveyor design is set to help reduce conventional heavy-duty truck traffic and the resulting high operating costs in open pit mines. High-strength ribbed steel cable Chevron-MegaPipe®s with a nominal strength of up to 9,500 N/mm and an outer diameter of up to 900 mm facilitate cost-effective conveyance of ore and overburden with lump sizes up to 350 mm over mine slopes with angles of inclination of 30° to approx. 45°. This presentation shows the initial findings of the feasibility study on the Chevron-MegaPipe® conveyor for a 400m-deep open pit mine and a mass flow of 5000 t/h and experimental results.
