AliensAliens 2 Material Handling in Mining – A Case Study Technical Seminar 1999 Great effort was made to develop a suitable mechanical brake system. The temperatures generated by the mechanical brakes during an emergency stop create a challenge regarding the selection of the brake lining material and the brake disc Conveyor Belt ST-7800 design. Also, in the interest of safety, almost all brake control components are fully redundant. Conveyor Belt Brake Caliper Assembly Conveyors CV-005 and CV-006 are equipped with steel cable belting rated at ST-7800. This marks a new world record for conveyor belting, assuming the distinctions of the world’s strongest conveyor belt from the Prosper-Haniel mine in Germany, which carried the record for the last 14 years. Belt forces will reach 250 tons during running, and can peak at 320 tons during emergency braking. Special attention was given to the splice as the weakest link of the belt. Testing performed at the University of Hanover, Germany showed that the fatigue strength of the splice exceeds 50% of the ultimate brakingstrength of the belt. As a safeguard, a splice failure detection system has been provided for the first time. This system is designed to detect splice elongation resulting from impending splice failure, and to safely stop the conveyor before the damage occurs. Reducers The 2500 kW two-stage helical bevel reducers are the largest reducers ever employed for conveyor drives. At a unit weight of 26 tons, the reducers are fully self-cooling and do not rely on auxiliary devices for temperature regulation. Several studies were made by Universities and scientific institutes to validate the reducer design, such as a heat dissipation study, a finite element analysis of the housing, and a bearing smear study. 3 Material Handling in Mining – A Case Study Technical Seminar 1999 Pulleys As another new record, the drive pulleys supplied for the Los Pelambres overland conveyors are the largest conveyor pulleys built to date. The pulleys have a shell diameter of 2,500 mm. The pulley shaft measures 630 mm in diameter. The bearings have an inside diameter of 560 mm. The total assembly weight is 37 tons per pulley. Conclusion The Los Pelambres overland conveyor system sets a new standard for many aspects of belt conveyor design. While it is technically possible to build yet larger systems, it can be assumed that the limits of practicality and economy will not allow pushing the envelope much further.
