Development of a High Capacity Steep Angle Belt Conveying System

深露天采矿作业在很大程度上依赖大型卡车车队来运输矿石和废石。该项目的目标是开发一种大容量输送系统，能够直接从矿坑沿陡峭的斜坡连续输送矿石和岩石。研究成果对有效处理我们最有价值的出口商品的好处是巨大的。这项创新的新技术将显著减少对运输卡车的依赖，降低能源消耗，最大限度地减少采矿过程对环境的影响，并改善人员和周围社区的健康和安全。

Deep open-pit mining operations rely extensively on fleets of large haul trucks to convey both ore and waste rock. The aim of this project is to develop a high capacity conveying system with the ability to continuously convey ore and rock up steep inclines directly from the pit. The benefits of the research outcomes to the efficient handling of our most valuable export commodities are immense. This innovative new technology will significantly reduce the dependency on haul trucks, reducing energy consumption, minimising environmental impact of the mining process, and improve the health and safety of personnel and the surrounding community.
