Coal conveying

Posted in: , on 13. Dec. 2007 - 17:00

i will like to know if it makes economic sense to go in for pneumatic conveying over trough belt conveying in these two scenarios

1.1000 tph coal over a distance of about 2 kms. (from barge unloader to coal storage shed).50mm average size, moisture varies (upto 10 percent).presently trucks are used at 600 tph.

2.120 tph crushed coal - 3mm (90 percent) ,10 percent moisture about .5 kms.

Dear Sanju,

NO, it DOES NOT make ANY economic sense to go in for pneumatic conveying over trough belt conveying in these two scenarios

Quite simple

Dear Sanjay, Mr.teus rightly said about using conveyor for handling of coal.First of all -50 mm size never conveyed pnuematically.Yoy can think of crushed coal but power requirement for the same is nery high and also maintenance cost.

We are doing various studies related to coal loading terminal in to barges in Indonesia.We can share our experiance by providing you the best layout,tech.specifications costing for your system.

i agree with regards to -50 mm coal.

but problem with conveying -3mm crushed coal is that after crushing due to our process requirement we need to add moisture .due to this maintenance of these belts has become a headache as lot of material gets stuck to return belt causing problems such as roller jamming ,belt sway etc.we presently use hotch make scrapers but still problem is not solved.

If you can't clean the belt with a Hosch; but are seriously asking about blowing the stuff 500m, then you really do have a problem.

Regulate the sprays better!

If that doesn't work: bin it or live with it.

Add moisture after you have conveyed the coal???
