Description

  • Replacement of a simple box design chute at the end of life with an engineered transfer system designed to control the material
  • 95ft drop
  • 23ft horizontal displacement
  • 6-floor levels

Scope

  • Design, supply, and installation of an engineered Advanced Transfer System that includes the patented J-Glide Adjustable Loading Technology
  • Curved design rather than a straight drop
  • The velocity of material slowed down and controlled
  • Addition of inspection doors to improve access

Results

  • The coal is center loading on the belt, matching belt speed and direction, extending belt life.
  • The material flow is controlled, gently loading on the belt, eliminating dust generation and extending the wear life of liners.
  • No pluggage or spillage has been experienced
  • Benetech completed all work on time and under budget
