Abstract

Belt conveyors are usually applied in coal conveyance, whether the reference is made to conveyance in mines themselves or from mines to the nearest consumers. These conveyance systems have often a large number of transporting units, which may have a negative impact on the system reliability and the environment. This paper deals with the possibilities for reducing the number of conveyors in a coal conveyance system by maximizing the conveyor length and the possibility of applying horizontal bend conveyors.
