For one of the projects, the final discharge conveyor need to convey material to a movable bin. Per day we expect two bins of 10 tons capacity each. We prefer to use a automated bins and avoid use of any automobile to tow the bins. can any one suggest and offer us a system for this application. Also provide us any industry using similar system.

Dear Shri Ravi,

It is possible to have conveyor discharge into mobile hopper. However, please clarify whether you will have mobile discharge from conveyor by travelling tripper or is it a shuttle conveyor. Suggestion is possible if you give proper description of your requirement i.e. conveyor arrangement and hopper arrangement. How are you utilizing the material from mobile hopper?

To Clean Your Belts

DIRT WHACKER Solution

Sirs,

I have seen your post saying that no scraper gave solution to your problem. Can I ask you to have a look to our solution hereunder ? We have won the Silver Jubilee of the best mining invention (the gold was not for a scraper) and are 100% sure to solve a problem on quick belt evenmore if there are a lot of sticky stuffs ! We guarantee 100% efficiency on quick belts (up to 8 meters/second), reversible belts clipped belts.

*******

We are manufacturer of a wonderful belt scraper called "Dirt Whacker". Our extension in ALL companies in Europe but as well as Africa makes our scraper n°1.

The "Dirt Whacker" is the only one giving 100% efficiency on CLIP belt and REVERSIBLE belts, that is why we won the silver jubilee of the best mining invention.

REVERSIBLES BELTS : thanks to the parallelograms, the scraper can reverse himself at the same time than the belt is reversing !! You do not have to stop the belt anymore nor make some scrapers modifications. Everything will be made instantly !!

CLIP BELTS : our blades are very special. Indeed, our tungsten carbide blades are brazed between 2 mild steel. When the clip hit the scraper blades, this clip will first hit the mild steel and the rubber pipe of the scraper will amortize/compensate the chock. We guarantee the efficiency of that worldwide patented system.

FOOT PUMP : the installation is so easy that you just need a foot pump to inflate the scraper ! We give you this foot pump for free. Just inflate the scraper between 400 – 600 grams. That is all you have to do. The blades will scrap the belt wonderfully !

QUICK BELTS : we guarantee our scrapers for belts whose speed reach 8 meters/second without any problems !

Our reference in chemica/mining/siderurgies and Power stations companies are various and the countries where we are homologated and fully standardized are for example : Tunisia (all chemical groups

and phosphates extractions + cement plants), Morocco (all chemical groups and phosphates extractions + power stations and cement plants), Algeria (siderurgy + phosphate extractions) + Senegal (chemical industries + extractions), Mauritania (iron), Gabon (manganese), Congo (diamonds + copper/cobalt), South-Africa (diamonds, platinum, coal,…) but as well as in all Europe with applications such as in Belgium where we were the only 1 to be able to supply for a size of belt 4000 mm.

Size of the scraper 4000 mm in 100% stainless steel. (Pictures on demand by email). France, Benelux, UK, Germany, even Hong-Kong and Thailand recently ,…

No maintenance anymore.

We hope to have positive news from you.

Dear Ravi:

I am not sure if I completely understand your question.

If you are looking for a system to move the bins in place for filling; and then to move them along after being filled (for pick-up by their motive force); one answer would be to install a two-chain conveyor, as used in auto plants. You could place empty bins on the feed end and pick up full ones at the drive end. Use limit or prox switches for proper placement under the feeding conveyor and photo eyes to advise the control system when a bin is full. When full, the control system will stop the feed conveyor, start the two-chain conveyor, stop the two-chain when the next bin is in position; and then restart the feed conveyor. The control logic is simple and you can design the two-chain conveyor for whatever weight and length suits your needs.

If you are looking for a belt conveyor system that can feed mutilple bins that are placed within its reach, there are a number of options. A tripper system works well for bins that are in line with one another (similar to that used to fill multiple silos or bunkers in power plants). Another choice would be to use a boom conveyor, which can be swung, raised, or lowered to wherever the discharge is needed (similar to what is used by self-unloading ships). A third choice is to use a telescoping conveyor system that can be used to feed bins that are stacked side by side in front of the conveyor. Also, there is a company in Australia that makes a conveyor that can bend to different discharge points as required (unfortunately, I cannot remember the name - but you can obtain information on it at www.mining-services.com)

Hope this helps.
