Known as the food of industry, coal was one of the main sources of energy used in the human world since the eighteenth century.
Under the blue star we live in, there are rich coal resources, but it takes a lot of trouble to mine and transport these coals.
In the earliest days, coal transportation was done by human labor.
People transport coal with the help of tools.
Later, long-distance transportation was done by train.
With poor terrain conditions, coal can only "ride" the ropeway, across the canyon.
Modernally, for coal mined in the open pit, it is transported by truck along a first-step ramp.
This was followed by truck exhaust pollution, ramp dust pollution, and increased operating costs for truck drivers, fuel, and vehicle maintenance.
Thus came a new piece of equipment – the belt conveyor.
The belt conveyor's transport capacity is not inferior to that of a standard railway, and the cost is only half that of a truck.
However, ordinary belt conveyors cannot be used on steep slopes (generally not higher than 18 degrees), so to transport the materials of the mining point to the outside of the site, you can only set up transit equipment in the pit to let the belt conveyor take the "zig-zag" route, or open a gentle road for the belt conveyor to operate normally.
This directly leads to an increase in equipment length, increased input costs, and an increase in the footprint of the belt conveyor.
So is there a belt conveyor for steep terrain?
The answer is obviously yes, and that is the steep angle belt conveyor.
When it comes to steep angle belt conveyors, it is impossible not to mention the famous German KOCH company in the industry.
With a history of more than 70 years, the company has a long history and a proven track record in bulk conveying technology. Its bulk material conveying system is mainly used for the transportation of bulk materials such as all kinds of ore, coal, coke, sand and gravel, aggregate, stone, lime, broken glass, asphalt raw materials and so on.
At present, KOCH steep angle belt conveyor has achieved a real sense of large inclination, long distance, large volume. Its maximum inclination angle is 75-90 degrees. What is the concept of 90 degrees? It is completely vertical angle of bulk material conveying, which has extremely high technical requirements for the working tension required for the normal operation of the machine and how to resist gravity.
Whether it's a deep open pit or a steep terrain such as canyons and hills on the way, KOCH steep angle belt conveyors can handle it with ease. This 7* 24 hours continuous transportation mode, compared with the previous ropeway cable car transportation or truck transportation, the efficiency is completely different.
KoCH steep angle belt conveyors have a maximum single machine distance of more than 1,000 meters, and can also be transported over ultra-long distances by bridging.
The best thing about KOCH is that they have a wealth of experience working with global mining giants. KOCH has mastered the data of various types of mine terrain and mineral information of the user, and can customize a very economical conveying solution according to the actual situation of the customer to ensure that the customer's equipment investment in the early stage and the operating cost in the later stage are at the lowest.
The KOCH steep angle belt conveyor can lift minerals or waste rock in thousands of deep pits and can reach the efficiency of 20 large dump trucks. On the basis of the ordinary belt conveyor long distance, large transport volume, high efficiency and stability and reliability, it is further realized to achieve steep angle improvement, it can be said that such equipment will become the preferred equipment for bulk material transportation in all kinds of open pit mines, steel mills, thermal power plants, building materials, coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry.
In the future, no matter how technology develops, there is no doubt that steep angle belt conveyors will permanently occupy a place in transportation equipment with their pioneering development, efficient transportation, low-cost operation and environmental protection characteristics.
About KOCH
Founded in 1945, KOCH is a world-renowned brand of heavy bulk material handling and conveying solutions such as coal/iron/bauxite/copper ore. In 2019, KOCH was acquired by Nantong Runbang Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. and is now a sub-brand of Runbang Heavy Machinery.
