Abstract
This paper is focused on the design of an auxiliary braking device for freight cableway trucks. The device provides continuous deceleration for the trucks before they arrive at the unloading station. It presents an alternative to manual deceleration, which poses safety hazards and is therefore a less suitable option. The design distinctly accommodates the spatial disposition at the unloading station and involves minimal interventions to the existing steel structure. Above all, it aims to increase safety by eliminating the need for human input in the process of decelerating the trucks before they are emptied. The proposed design solution was successfully applied in a real operation.
Highlights
This paper focuses on the construction of an auxiliary device for material cableways
Depending on whether the trucks move along ground rails or taut cables above the ground, either aerial cableways or cable railways are involved
The device on which this paper focuses involves a material cableway in a cement plant, which currently specializes in producing ground limestone and dolomites
Summary
This paper focuses on the construction of an auxiliary device for material cableways. Cableways convey material in trucks pulled by a wire rope. Aerial cableways can span valleys, mountains, rivers, roads and buildings They are suitable for conveying both bulk material and unit loads [1, 8]. The device on which this paper focuses involves a material cableway in a cement plant, which currently specializes in producing ground limestone and dolomites. It conveys limestone lumps from the quarry to the lime plant. It is a material aerial bi-cable circular system with a detachable grip for the truck.
