Downhill Conveyors

Downhill Conveyors are used to transport material from crusher stockpile.Downhill Conveyors are the most efficient equipment in industrial mines and metallurgical plants. But Conveyors, like other heavy equipment, pose several hazards to employees and also safeties of the equipment in particular to the downhill conveyor, where the operation is mostly unmanned due to its distance, terrain and profile.Generally, downhill conveyors move material uphill or uphill followed by downhill and along the surface of the earth. The challenge in designing the conveyors when different section combinations are loaded/empty causes natural instability. With increase in tonnages and high negative lift conveyors with several hundred meters of drop, it is imperative to develop an intelligent soft braking system to address the starting and stopping requirements under various load conditions.
