Challenge

Extreme temperatures
Conveying bulk materials with extremely high temperatures of
up to +800 °C or in environments with extremely low temperatures
of up to –60 °C puts man and machine under great stress. This is
where maximum temperature resistance is required to ensure
material (e.g. iron ore pellets) does not burn through the conveyor
belt, thus enabling long operating times.

Solution

Superior heat- and

cold-resistant conveyor belts
ContiTech provides a wide range of steel cord and fabric conveyor
belts with rubber compounds designed for very low or very high
temperatures, e.g. for conveying hot ash at temperatures of up to
+220 °C, oil or sands in Canada or raw materials in northern parts
of Russia at temperatures of down to –60 °C.
For high-heat applications ContiTech’s belts CONTIFLEX feature the
heat-resistant rubber compound Vulcan Prime, basalt or glass layers
and/or an innovative insulation Heat Control layer inside the top
cover. Field tests at the manufacturing facilities of a Swedish iron ore
supplier showed that these conveyor belts display excellent resistance
to the high-heat bulk material. CONTIFLEX® IW/TW/SW heat-resistant
conveyor belts have a Fleximat® carcass made of a combination of
fabric and steel cords, and represent an “intermediate” level
between fabric and steel cord belts.

Even if the rubber top cover is destroyed, no iron CONTIFLEX® IW –

ore pellets burn through the belt, and the conveyor with Fleximat® carcass made of a

Challenge

Fire
Burn-offs have to be avoided in opencast as well as underground
mines not only to save human lives, but also to prevent production
downtimes and thus to protect investments. This is where flame-
resistant equipment and fire-extinguishing features are required.

Solution

Flame-resistant and
self-extinguishing conveyor belts
ContiTech has developed, tested, certified and successfully applied
flame-resistant and self-extinguishing conveyor belts. In the unlikely
event that these do actually catch fire, they prevent fire propagation
along the conveyor belt. This protects not only investments, but –
most importantly – human lives. ContiTech conveyor belts made of
rubber compounds adhere to the requirements of most national
and all international standards (EN 12882, EN 14973, AS 4606, etc.),
and are authorized by state mine supervisory administrations
around the world, including MSHA (USA), UTS for underground
applications (EU), RosTechNadzor (Russia), DPI (Australia).

Challenge

Rips & breakthrough caused by impact

Short and middle-distance belt conveyors in surface mining as
well as conveyor belts used in heavy mining machinery at very high
speeds are often particularly stressed by coarse and sharp-edged
bulk material. Such heavy impacts can cause rips and cut-throughs
in the belts, thus causing cumbersome downtimes to carry out
the necessary repairs.

Prevent or minimize
production downtimes

Solution

Reinforced cut- and gouge-resistant

conveyor belts
ContiTech has a variety of fabric, aramid and steelcord reinforce-
ments (breakers), which can be incorporated in the top (carry side)
cover of a conveyor belt. STAHLCORD® Barrier and CONTIFLEX®
RipProtect with steel cord breakers in the cut-resistant rubber top
cover provide the most cost-efficient protection against cut-through
damages, carcass destruction and longitudinal belt rips for short
and middle-distance conveyor belts or conveyor belts used in heavy
mining machinery at very high speeds of up to 12 m/s.
CONTIFLEX® IW/TW/SW belts with the Fleximat® carcass can also be
used as impact and cut-through resistant belts. Fleximat® is a special
carcass made of a combination of fabric and steel cords and takes
an “intermediate” level between fabric and steel cord belts.

Challenge

Topographically difficult terrain

Difficult terrains require conveyor systems that can easily negotiate
complex infrastructural and geographical hurdles with many tight
curves and extreme inclination angles. The conveying routes are
frequently built more elevated in comparison to normal troughed
conveyors in order to cross roads, rivers or other topografic obstacles
and should nevertheless provide an environmentally friendly con-
veying route.

Solution

Closed-troughed
conveyor belt systems
ContiPipe®, MegaPipe® and Sicon® conveyor belts with fabric and
steel cord carcasses can negotiate tight curves. They are the perfect
solution for complex infrastructural and geographical terrains,
which may have center distances similar to common long-distance
conveyors (10 km and more). With such closed-troughed conveyor
belts the environment is reliably protected from the bulk material.
SICON® is ideally suited for short and medium conveying routes
and capacities, e.g. for routes inside or between plants with a
maximum capacity of up to 500 m3/h at a conveying speed of up
to 3 m/s. The main advantage of SICON® is its ability to negotiate
very tight curves, which are significantly tighter than those
ContiPipe® can handle (e.g. 180° curves with a radius smaller
than 1 m). Both technologies can be applied for inclination angles
of up to 35° depending on the respective bulk material.
MegaPipe®, with an outer pipe diameter of up to 900 mm, has a
maximum capacity of up to approx. 9,500 m3/h at conveying speeds
of up to 6.5 m/s and can transport bulk materials with a maximum
grain size of up to 350 mm directly after the primary crusher.
In case of long-distance pipe conveyor systems (> 1000 m)
equipped with ContiPipe® with the bottom cover made
of Extra Low Loss XLL-rubber compound, the total energy
consumption can be reduced up to 50 %.

Environmental conveying system, which can negotiate high

mountains, wide rivers, dense jungle or taiga and other very
complex geographical terrains, where no road or no appropriate
route can be built and a transport “in the air”, is required.

Sidewall belts
RopeCon® is a system developed by Doppelmayr, leader in ropeway
engineering. It is a pioneering conveyor system combining belting and
ropeway technologies and uses FLEXOWELL® and MAXOFLEX® belts.
The system can transport bulk material with a grain size of more than
600 mm up “in the air”. It negotiates distances of over 30 km in one
section and inclinations of up to 30° without cleats. Using additional
cleats it can handle even higher inclinations. The RopeCon® can achieve
transport capacities of up to 25,000 t/h, or cover a vertical rise of up to
1,000 m in one section. Tower spacings of 1,500 m and more are possible.
ContiTech has supplied several belts for RopeCon® applications.
An impressive example for which a ContiTech conveyor belt is used:
in Jamaica, the approximately 3.5 km long downhill RopeCon® system,
which is used for the transport of bauxite, generates 1,300 kW per
hour which can be fed back into the grid.

Challenge

High-elevation short-distance conveying

Open pit and underground mining can often require material to
be conveyed across steep inclines over short distances. A particular
difficulty lies in increasing the angle of inclination for standard
troughed and pipe belts in order to reduce transportation costs
and energy consumption for high-elevation conveying.

Solution

Steep-angle
conveyor belts
CONTI® chevron belts have wear- and impact-resistant 15 – 50 mm
high ribs or cleats which are available in numerous formats. They
are particularly designed for steep inclines for troughed as well as
pipe belts.
ContiTech has developed an outstanding & cost-efficient solution
for open pit mines in cooperation with various business partners.
This enables closed-trough transport of primary crushed ores,
rock, coal or overburden by using high-strength conveyors with
Chevron-MegaPipes® (up to 50° inclination) or troughed belts
(up to 30° inclination) with solid heavy-duty chevron ribs for the
shortest distances – without the need for a secondary crusher!

CONTI® Sandwich Belts with steel cord and fabric carcasses are
able to transport small-grained bulk materials at very high inclination
angles of up to 90° and provide capacities of more than 4,000 t/h
at mine depths in excess of 250 m! Depending on the material, the
carrying belt can be equipped with a steel cord reinforcement to
protect the belt against impact.
CONTI® Sandwich Belts with special elastic fabric carcass
can transport fine-grained bulk materials at very high
inclination angles – even vertically.

Vertical conveying
The transportation of bulk materials at very high inclinations or even
vertically requires special conveyer systems and solutions. These
should be able to convey materials in all shapes and sizes quickly,
safely and reliably.

Solution

Maximum elevation
single-flight conveyor belts
ContiTech’s FLEXOWELL® and POCKETLIFT® technologies are the
ideal solution for the transportation of materials at very high
inclination angles or even vertically. FLEXOWELL® conveyor belts
are designed for the steep inclined or vertical handling of all kinds
of bulk materials – from coarse-sized coal and ore to rock, sand or
fertilizers with lump sizes from powdery to 400 mm. Materials can be
carried over 500 m in vertical lifts with capacities up to 6,000 t/h.
The POCKETLIFT® system was developed for deep shaft under-
ground applications in the mining and tunneling industry with a
lifting height of up to 800 m in one flight. POCKETLIFT® can handle
capacities of up to 4,000 m3/h and transport bulk materials with
lump sizes of up to 250 mm.
Solutions for every mining task 19

Challenge

Underground mining
Underground conveyor belts have to meet particularly strict
national as well as international standards, as underground mining
leaves no room for error. This is where the issue of fire prevention
and extinguishing is of particular importance.

Solution

Certified conveyor belts

for underground application
ContiTech supplies a wide range of special underground one or
two-ply conveyor belts (e.g. standard PVG and PVC belts), PVG / PVC
one or two-ply fabric belts (e.g. CON-MONTEX E/P - B - PB 1250/1
or CON-BITEX E/P P 800/2) and CONTITAN®, which uses various
fabric carcasses such as EP, E/P-P, EP-B-PB. All these belts are
manufactured with self-extinguishing rubber compounds
(e.g. V, FRAS, A, B1, B2, C2, ШTC, etc.) and meet strict national
and international standards for underground conveyor belts.
CONTITAN® combines all the advantages of standard fabric belts
and PVG and PVC belts, has an excellent troughability as well as
impact and slit-resistance, and fulfils the necessary tough require-
ments in terms of splice strength with detachable fasteners.
However, CONTITAN® has none of the disadvantages of PVG and
PVC belts, such as wet-slide behavior, a tendency to cracking or CONTITAN®
high wear.
STAHLCORD® steel cord belts with self-extinguishing rubber
compounds are also available in our portfolio.

Challenge

Separating fluid and solid components

An area in which fluid and solid components have to be separated
is primary raw material extraction – the washing of coal and ore
in mining operations. This generally includes two distinct tasks that
have to be fulfilled:
1) the drying of concentrate and processing of tailings
and
2) t he drying of heavy and coarse materials and ores in
mining operations.

Solution

Vacuum filter
conveyor belts
CONTI® Vacuum Filter Belts separate solids and liquids. If required,
this can be accompanied by rinsing, leaching or acid washing.
The belts form a continuously circulating trough that holds and
transports the filter cloth, the filter cake, the suspension and the
washing solvent and removes the filtrate. The force of gravity and
the vacuum generated cause the filtrate to be siphoned off via the
belt grooves and through the drainage holes in the center of the belt.
Beside a good chemical resistance and high temperature stability
the CONTI® Vacuum Filter Belts have a non-textile suction zone made
of cover rubber compound, which has same resistance properties
as cover rubber. Consequently, punching of center holes does not
result in exposed fabric.

Detecting wear, break and tear

All moving parts, no matter what they are used for, are
subject to wear, break and tear. Naturally this also applies
to conveyor belt systems, no matter how well they are
designed and constructed. This is where the global
electronic monitoring of possible damage to conveyor
belts and the respective splices is required – ideally
before any such damage leads to serious downtimes.

Solution

Prognostic
maintenance
ContiTech’s highly reliable electronic CONTI® PROTECT
and CONTI® INSPECT systems are designed to detect
possible damage to heavy mining applications according
to automotive standards before any such damage can
cause unforeseen downtimes.
The CONTI® PROTECT series consists of the systems
CordProtect, RipProtect, SpliceProtect, MultiProtect
and TotalProtect. These are permanently installed
and monitor the belt continuously during the operation.
If any irregularities are detected, the system auto-
matically stops the conveyor belt.
The CONTI® INSPECT series includes the WearInspect,
CordInspect and SurfaceInspect systems, which are
mobile and can be used for all appropriate conveyors.
The CONTI® INSPECT series is designed to detect
wear and damages to the conveyor belt during
conveyor operation.

All data collected by the electronic

systems outlined above can be stored and
analysed by the web and app service
platform ContiPlus located on the cloud,
which is the smartest way to monitor
performance of your conveyors:
