High Capacity Pipe Conveyor
We are working on an installation for a 4600 t/h, metal ore pipe conveyor, with a length of ~ 2 km, that is powered by 6000 hp. The belt is rated ST-3150. ■

2. No idea how current, though:

Refer "reference list".

Re: Pipe Conveyors In Australia?
The website is very old. In 2003, projects had not been commissioned.
Birla Copper was the only significant installation already commissioned. Maybe, Phil can update so we can all ogle at the technology improvements.
I know he has been busy. ■

Thanks Gents.
We have had some response from a supplier now, so we're gathering a lot more information.

Re: Pipe Conveyors In Australia?
Sirs
There are not many pipe conveyors in Australia they were handled in early years by Bridgestone cooperating companies without vigor.
the largest capacities around the world are 2000 and 3000 T/hr coal and 3000 and 4500 T/hr ore.
Multiple discharges are possible and also multiple loading with special sections.
Idler replacement is very similar and tends to be less often due to less spillage etc.
I too have looked at this 4500 t/hr 2 km project. ■
Pipe Conveyors in Australia?
Hello,
Due to environmental concerns, a client has asked us to look into pipe conveyor technology for an upcoming project. We have contacted three suppliers, but have had difficulty getting responses at this time (I appreciate people can get busy or are travelling). So I was hoping for some information here.
1. Are there any pipe conveyors operating in Australia? If so, what size are they and what product? The client has concerns about pipe conveyor support in Australia.
2. What are the largest capacity pipe conveyors installed worldwide, or are currently on order? This project is looking at metal ores up to 4,500 t/h, for a distance of almost 2km.
3. How difficult are multiple discharge points with a pipe conveyor? There may be a future discharge point approx 200m before the final discharge point to an alternate system.
4. How different is the idler replacement program compared to a conventional conveyor (more often, less often)?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Scott Tapsall
