Mobile conveyor belts help with one of mining's most significant challenges that's rooted in the process of extracting ores, coal, and rocks from the ground: While excavating raw materials on-site in a mine or a quarry, the distance from the point of excavation to the overland conveyor increases with every cubic ton that's mined. Moving the raw materials across the excavation site by truck is costly, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous to the miners. However, mobile conveyor belts can be adapted to the ever-changing on-site requirements by adding or removing individual modules, thus allowing for safer, more efficient transportation.
The main reason for the reduction of operating costs by mobile conveyor belts is their flexibility. They can be adapted to any change in the mining sites’ requirements and allow for the flexible displacement of heavy machinery whenever needed. Furthermore, modern mobile conveyor belts will improve the seamless liaison between excavation machines and overland haulage. Also, they can reduce the need for transportation equipment on-site, thus reducing production costs even further.
The flexible efficiency improvement of mining operations through mobile conveyor belts can eliminate workarounds that would need to be found with fixed systems and can thus reduce labour intensity and the danger of accidents.
