A conveying belt that passes under magnets, below which belts run at right angles to the line of travel of the main belt. The magnetic particles (tramp iron) are lifted up against these crossbelts and are thus removed.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor belt consisting of a central stress-bearing carcass for transmitting power enclosed in rubber or PVC covers to protect the carcass from abrasion and atmospheric changes. The carcass usually consists of plies of cotton duck fabric, but other constructions used are cotton cords, steel cables, and woven fabrics of synthetic fibers, such as rayon, nylon, Orlon, Dacron, fiberglass, and asbestos. The covers are furnished in various thicknesses and qualities of rubber or PVC compounds.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor belt in which the carrying section is composed of rubber and fabric with attached intermittent transverse metal supports having both ends supported by cables. The cables transmit the driving force, and the center portion functions as the loadsupporting medium.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor belt structure tail pulley which is designed with vanes along the length of the tail pulley and often is hollow in the center to allow any spillage along the return belt to end up at the tail pulley, which allows it to fall to the sides to eliminate the debris.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor capable of being lengthened or shortened while in operation.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor comprising a series of skeleton or solid flights on an endless chain or other linkage that operates in horizontal, inclined, or vertical paths within a closely fitted casing for the carrying run. The bulk material is conveyed and elevated en masse in a 1093 substantially continuous stream with a full cross section of the casing.

Industry:Mining
A conveyor comprising two or more endless chains connected by crossbars and to which vertical rods are attached at spaced intervals. The crossbars are also provided with spaced projections at the same level to form in effect a continuous carrying surface through which product cannot fall.
Industry:Mining
A conveyor consisting of a continuous line of buckets attached by pivots to two endless roller chains running on tracks and driven by sprockets. The buckets are so pivoted that they remain in an upright position at all times except when tilted into a dumping position by a cam or other device placed at any required position on the track.
