How to Address Material Spillage on Coal Mine Belt Conveyors

How to Address Material Spillage on Coal Mine Belt Conveyors?
Coal mines typically employ long-distance belt conveyors, often spanning hundreds of meters or more. Due to these extended transport distances, issues like material spillage and drop-off frequently occur. So how should we resolve this?

Coal Mine Belt Conveyors

I. Install Full-Length Guide Chutes

This is equivalent to adding anti-spillage sidewalls to the belt conveyor, effectively mitigating material spillage.

2. Install Belt Misalignment Prevention Devices

Belt misalignment frequently causes spillage. Equipping multiple guide rollers and misalignment switches helps minimize related issues.

3. Monitor Conveying Capacity

Spillage at transfer points primarily occurs in hoppers and guide chutes. Severe belt conveyor overload, damaged rubber skirt boards on guide chutes, or guide chute steel plates designed too far from the belt with excessively long skirt boards can cause material to surge out of the guide chute.

Materials Suitable for Coal Mine Belt Conveyors

Coal mine belt conveyors are commonly used in surface haulage, coal yards, metallurgy, chemical processing, and other fields. Long-distance belt conveyors include models such as the TD75 and DTII belt conveyors, capable of handling distances from 3 to 1000 meters and throughputs up to 2000 t/h. Specific designs should be tailored to actual transportation requirements. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!
