BELT CONVEYOR TRANSPORT SYSTEMS.

In mining bigger continuous mining machines and shovels, larger trucks and crushers are digging and processing greater quantities of differing materials which have to be handled and shipped at rates once thought to be impossible. To implement such schemes demands the blending of a lot of diverse equipment, mining machinery, bins, feeders, reclaimers, and it is here that the belt conveyor assumes a role of ever increasing importance. Significant developments have taken place in the seventies with respect to conveyor belt transportation; not only in the systems but also in the components which combine to make such systems work efficiently.
