Re: Deck Plate At Carrying Idler
Deck plates prevent any spillage from falling onto the return side of the belt and jamming in the tail pulley. ■

Than you for your reply.
We are commonly using the deck plates for all the belts except stacker boom conveyor and stacker cum re-claimer intermediate conveyor. Why is it not necessary there?
Kindly clarify. ■
Housekeeping Again
Housekeeping is ususally poor and spillage builds up, no matter what, under the return belt until one of the operators' supervisors notices it.
Deck plates do very little to alleviate spillage. What is the point of putting a plate under the full width of the job when material can only drop off the sides? If the housekeeping is adequate the tail end ploughs will likewise suffice. If there is a concern about bigger rocks bouncing over the plough (I've seen this in Zambia) just build a taller stronger plough. ■

Dear Mr. Hinesh,
allow me to express astonishment, how could you be a fresher in this field, seen above remarks?...
However, in my experience deck plates could be sensibly used when
- the top cover of the belt has some special property the bottom cover does not have and any contact of the material to the bottom cover would be harmful to it. Do you convey difficult materials, coal from piles that could ignite or so?
- if during transportation there arises a possibility of significant amounts of material escaping fom upper strand and arriving onto the return strand of the belt and the belt scraper equipment could not be made adequately performing.
- if there's such conditions as sandstorms that could charge lots of material in short time onto the lower strand. Most often in such circumstances the upper strand is already covered with those arched covers.
- if there's such conditions as heavy rain / monsoon / seawater spray and it is intended to protect the belt as good as possible from moisture / saltwater...
But sometimes deck plates are plainly there because the customer had seen it elsewhere and wanted to have the same thing.
Seems to me that the common property of intermediate bridges and boom conveyors is their inclination, which could make deck plates useless if not counterproductive in directing the spillage down onto one point.
As the collegues pointed out here and elsewhere in this forum: Spillage is nothing to be accepted and there's ways to cope with it.
