Selby Drift Conveyor

Posted in: , on 19. Apr. 2004 - 15:06

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a contact for Selby Colliery in the UK.

I recently read an article on the Installation of the belting and would like to have a look at the system when I am in the area.

Being a ST7100 belt with 990 metres of lift it would have been quite a project.

Does anyone know if this belt has been changed out since 1985?

Also who was the company involved in the installation?

Regards

The belt was changed out in the late 1990's or early 2000's. I believe BTR old and new. Its been a few years since visited during the time they were about to place the order.

At that time I visited Mr. Ian Dixon was in charge of Selby's conveyor operations.

I thought Selby mining was about to be retired or already is.
