CONVEYING EQUIPMENTS
Transporting material from one place to another over a stationary structure.
Caries material in continuous stream with its distinct feature such as endless
chain or belt.
Can be done horizontally, vertically or inclined.
When the equipment does horizontal conveying, it is known as conveyor and
when it does vertical, it is known as elevator.
Conveying are mainly used in mining, construction and in some of the
industries.

CONVEYORS
Conveyors are a piece of plant moving mainly in the horizontal direction.
> Conveyors are used mainly for transporting aggregates and concrete and
generally considered only in large sites where there may be a large concrete
mixing complex.
These are the equipment to move material over a fixed path between specific
points.
These are used in mining, heavy & light industry, food & beverage
processing, agriculture, construction projects.

BELT CONVEYORS:
Used when large quantities of
materials have to be conveyed
over long distances at fast speed.
It consists of a belt running over a
pair of end drums or pulleys and
supported at regular intervals by a
series of rollers called idlers.
*These idlers are supported on a
conveyor frame. The middle sag
provided in the belt prevent the
spilling of material. Generally,
rubber is most commonly used as
conveyor belt.

INCLINED BELT CONVEYOR

It is designed for steep excavation work, it is ideal for basement excavating,
utility contracting and other earth and material applications. The belt buckets
have a high capacity to eliminate material rollback at steep inclines.
IN CASE OF INCLINED BELT CONVEYOR
It can move gravel, mud, dirt, silt etc.
•From 0 to 70° It is used for digging basements, general excavation and
construction. It fits in small window openings, manhole covers, etc.

SCREW CONVEYOR
Screw conveyors are of simple, relatively low cost construction compared to
other conveyor systems. Screw conveying systems consist of a helical flight It
permits intermediate discharge of the material at
fastened around a pipe or solid shaft, mounted within a tubular or U-shaped
trough
several points. It is a bulk material handling unit.
It is suitable for the conveying of granular or powder material and liquids.
It can perform horizontal, inclined(as an efficient way to move semi-solid
materials) and vertical
conveying.
The angle of inclination of inclined conveyors is usually 10° to 20⁰.
The conveying length is 2 meters to 70 meters. Screw dia. 100 to 900 mm.

BUCKET ELEVATOR
•Bucket elevators are designed to move flowing powders or bulk solids.
•Bucket elevators use an endless belt or chain and have a series of buckets
attached to it.
Bulk material is spread into an inlet hopper.
Buckets (or cups) dig into the material and convey it up and over
the head sprocket/pulley, and then throw the material The plastic buckets are
truly interlocking and never separate.
out a discharge throat.
This equipment is mainly used for the lift conveying of "the materials at the lower
position to the upper specified position.
There are three types of bucket elevator:
1. Continuous discharge bucket elevator
2. Centrifugal discharge bucket elevator 3. Positive discharge bucket elevator

CRANE
Used to transport loads over variable (horizontal and vertical) paths within a restricted area
Used when there is insufficient (or intermittent) flow volume such that the use of a conveyor

cannot be justified
Provide more flexibility in movement than conveyors
Provide less flexibility in movement than industrial trucks
Loads handled are more varied with respect to their shape and weight than those handled by a

conveyor
Most cranes utilize hoists for vertical movement, although manipulators can be used if precise

positioning of the load is required

TYPES OF CRANES:
JIB CRANE:
Operates like an arm in a work area, where it can function as a manipulator

for positioning tasks

A hoist is attached to the arm for lifting
Arm mounted on the wall or attached to a floor mounted support
Arm can rotate 360°
The hoist can move along the arm
PART 2: WITHIN SITE
BRIDGE CRANE:
Bridge mounted on tracks that are located on opposite walls of the

facility
Enables three-dimensional handling
Top riding (heavier loads) or underhung (more versatile) versions of the

crane
Underhung crane can transfer loads and interface with other MHS (e.g.,

monorail systems)

GANTRY CRANE
Single leg, double leg, and mobile types of gantry cranes
Similar to a bridge crane except that it is floor supported at one or

both ends instead of overhead (wall) supported

Used to span a smaller portion of the work area as compared to a

bridge crane
The supports can be fixed in position or they can travel on runways
Can be used outdoors when "floor" supported at both ends

PART 2: WITHIN SITE

STACKER CRANE
Similar to a bridge crane except that, instead of a hoist, it uses a mast with forks

or a platform to handle unit loads

Considered "fork trucks on a rail"
Used for storing and retrieving unit loads in storage racks, especially in high-rise

applications in which the racks are more than 50 feet high

Can be controlled remotely or by an operator in a cab on the mast
Can be rack supported

YARD RAMP
Called as mobile yard ramp - a

movable metal ramp for

loading and unloading of

vehicles.
Placed at the back of a vehicle

to provide access for forklifts

to ascend the ramp.

PART 2: WITHIN SITE

INDUSTRIAL TRUCKS
Used to move materials over variable (horizontal) paths with no restrictions on

the area covered (i.e., unrestricted area)

Provide vertical movement if the truck has lifting capabilities
Used when there is insufficient (or intermittent) flow volume such that the use of

a conveyor cannot be justified

Provide more flexibility in movement than conveyors and cranes
Not licensed to travel on public roads.

Dump truck
Dumper for short, is used for transporting
materials (such as dirt, gravel, or demolition
waste) for construction as well as coal. A
typical dump truck is equipped with an open-
box bed, which is hinged at the rear and
equipped with hydraulic rams to lift the front,
allowing the material in the bed to be
deposited ("dumped") on the ground behind
the truck at the site of delivery.
PART 3: POST CONSTRUCTION
Excavator
Excavators are heavy construction equipment
consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab
on a rotating platform known as the "house". The house
sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. They
are a natural progression from the steam shovels and
often mistakenly called power shovels.[citation needed.
All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator
are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid,
with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to
the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of
operation is fundamentally different from cable-
operated excavators which use winches and steel
ropes to accomplish the movements.
