Abstract
In any power plant coal obtained from the open pit mines should be transported to the plant for the production of power. Many means of transportations are available like truck, railways pipelines, Conveyor belts etc. For Industrial purpose material handling equipment are designed in a way such that material handling is easy, fast, less maintenance cost for the equipment, efficient, safe etc. This paper discusses how conveyor belt is a better mode of transportation in power plants than any other modes available. Provided with brief Discussion various parts of the conveyor belt, and also about some types of conveyor belts used in Power plants. There are many types of conveyer belts present that can be used as per the need of different power plants. Also provided with a proper safety design values for the safe and efficient working of the belt.
Highlights
Coals obtained from open pit mines should be moved to thermal power plants for Production of power
There are many transportation modes used in industries like truck, pipelines, airways, conveyor belts
Conveyor belt can be considered as a best mode among these because of the following essential factors which are needed for safe and efficient transportation
Summary
Coals obtained from open pit mines should be moved to thermal power plants for Production of power. Though conveyer belt needs higher investment cost compared to an important mode of transportation used in industries i.e. Truck. Conveyer belt avoids the delay, confusion and safety hazards of other mode of transportation used for the continuous and smooth supply of coal and other materials in power plant.
