Vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC)
The Robbins Company

Robbins' vertical conveyors can bring the rock up a shaft to the surface. Whether your tunnel is 20 m or 200 m deep, Robbins vertical conveyors will reliably deliver the rock to the surface with minimal spillage. Robbins custom designs each vertical conveyor specifically to suit the project, including: muck transfer from horizontal conveyor to vertical conveyor; muck transfer from vertical conveyor to overland or stacker conveyor; structural mounting of the conveyor in the shaft; muck recycling chutes to minimize spillage; safety interlocks and worker protection.

Robbins has two vertical conveyor designs: the traditional "S" type and our new "J" type. For a deep shaft application, use our steel cord belt "S" type conveyors. However, if you have a small diameter shaft of moderate depth, our "J" type conveyor may be the economical solution you've been looking for. The Robbins "J" type vertical conveyor has an innovative design.
