Advantages of Double Drum Direct Rope Haulage
1. Higher output:
2. Less power demand.
3. Branched roads can also be served, if gradient is suitable.
Disadvantages of Double Drum Direct Rope Haulage
. Wider roads required.
Efficient breaking system required for downward journey.
. High speed haulage demands more maintenance of track.
. Cannot be used for less incline roadways.
. A derailment is assaciated with heavy damages.
. Due to high speed more dust, more wear & tear.
2) Main & Tail Rope Haulage:
DHawre
In this type of haulage engine is provided with two separate drums, ane for main
rope which hauls the loaded tubs, one for tail rope which hauls the tubs
downward the gradient, when one drum is in gear the other drum revolves freely
but controlled. The name implies the haulage has a main rope anda tail rope.A) Rope haulage
1) Direct Rope Haulage
a)Single Drums Direct Rope Haulage:
This is simplest system of rope
haulage. It consists of one track, one
rope & one drum which are
connected ta a motor through gears.
One end of the rope is connected
with the train of tubs on the track &
another end of the rope is connected
to the drum. When the drum rotates
situated at the top of the incline, the
loaded tubs moves upwards. But for
the downward journey of the empty
tubs it does not require any power
because a tub moves downward due
to their own weight. The system can
run on inclines steeper than 1 in 12 &
the speed of the haulage is B — 12
Advantages of Single Drum Direct Rope Haulage
. Simple in operation.
. Only one brake is required.
. Extension is easy.
} Branched roads can also be served,
. Can be used in narrow roads.
if gradient is suitable.
vantages of Single Drum Direct Rope Haulage
. High power demands for upper jaurney of loaded tubs.
. Efficient breaking system required for downward journey.
. High speed haulage demands more maintenance of track.
. Cannot be used far less incline roadways.
. A derailment is associated with heavy damages.
