In-plant Conveyors
In-plant Conveyors are used as the backbone of bulk material conveying systems.In-plant conveyors often are part of a production process and must fit specific needs, such as special belt covers to withstand oily, hot, or abrasive materials. Belt scales or tramp iron magnets may become part of the system, as dust-suppression or dust-collecting systems. With in-plant conveyors, it is important to optimise the mechanical design to ensure that the best belt radii could be attained. This will provide a compact plant and decrease the footprint of the project. Transfer points are critical to ensure no spillage occurs. The in-plant layout should allow for the correct transfer heights and feed areas onto the Conveyors. This allows the correct shape/size chutes to be modelled and to be installed, resulting in a good flow of material.If the material flow is sorted, spillage is eliminated and wear on the transfer point and conveyor is reduced.
