The Missing Link in IPCC

A major study in 1979 sought to develop high angle conveying systems that could continuously haul the mined bulk material directly out of the pit, along the high wall, “the shortest distance between the two end points.” The sandwich belt high angle conveyor was the result.

What Could Have Been At Los Filos

Opportunity for a downhill DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor was missed, but replaced with a cost saving overland conveying system from DSI.

Evolution of Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors

In connection with U.S. Bureau of Mines funded-study relating to continuous haulage from deep open-pit mines, the authors had occasion to study extensively, the use of high-angle conveyors as a…
