Your belt’s best guide.

How we helped a leading?iron-ore processing plant?achieve significant annual savings?through the deployment of our belt-sway control system, CenTrax.

THE APPLICATION:

1200mm?wide belt conveyor?carrying iron ore?from the cone-crusher to the grinding circuit at?a?wet iron-ore?processing plant in the eastern side of India.?

THE CHALLENGE:

• Frequent tripping owing to exaggerated belt-sway
• Unscheduled shutdowns?to clean accumulated spillage?

THE SOLUTION:

• Control belt sway
• Stop unscheduled shutdown
• Eliminate damage to the belt and the structure

THE RESULTS:

• Reduced belt sway from 80mm-100mm to 40mm-50mm
• Tripping of belt reduced to zero from earlier 10 times a month.
• Debottlenecked conveyor capacity by ~120,000 tons of iron ore annually. [Equivalent to additional revenue opportunity ~ 2 million USD annually at current iron ore prices]
• Belt life increased from?10 months to 13 months?[Direct cash savings of?~20kUSD annually?due to enhanced belt life and reduced need for spillage cleaning]
