Belt conveyors are the most efficient way of bringing ore to the surface, but they must be engineered specifically for zinc mining. High belt speeds allow reduced conveyor widths while an appropriately designed structure minimizes obstructions in confined spaces.
Belts must be up to the loads imposed by zinc mining. Silver, lead, and iron increases ore density and can be sharp and abrasive, plus, it’s vital to consider the impact dust can have on conveyor equipment.
Compliance with all relevant safety regulations is mandatory of course, and exceptional reliability is expected. As specialists in underground material handling, West River Conveyors understands what’s needed and has extensive experience in designing and installing systems that meet and exceed requirements.
West River Conveyors can engineer conveyor solutions for your zinc mining operation. After carefully reviewing the throughput required and space constraints, we will determine optimal belt speed, width, and inclination, and propose an appropriate custom conveyor system.
A custom zinc conveyor can incorporate the materials, finishes, and components you require. The structure can be stainless steel or powder-coated. Motor and drives are selectable to suit your preferences or standards for voltage, size, and mounting location. By choosing a custom zinc conveyor you get exactly the system you need.
