Get the Muck Out with Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors
Development of the sandwich belt high angle conveyor concept has come a long way since its first introduction in the early 1950s. Over the approximate thirty year period until 1979,…
The Missing Link in IPCC
A major study in 1979 sought to develop high angle conveying systems that could continuously haul the mined bulk material directly out of the pit, along the high wall, “the shortest distance between the two end points.” The sandwich belt high angle conveyor was the result.
The Cost/Value of Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveying
THE EXPANDED CONVEYOR TECHNOLOGY In 1979, a “High-angle conveyor study” was funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines and executed by Dravo Corp. The target applications…
What Could Have Been At Los Filos
Opportunity for a downhill DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor was missed, but replaced with a cost saving overland conveying system from DSI.
Cement Plants Fed by Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors
Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors are proven, versatile systems for elevating or lowering bulk materials continuously at steep angles up to 90°. A wide range of industries have adopted the…
DSI Conveyor Technology Minimizing Environmental Impact
There are many ways to convey bulk materials, and no one knows that better than Dos Santos International. Dos Santos International is the world’s foremost authority on high angle conveyor…
