Bulk Material Handling Solutions

The company website describes its line as a complete line of bulk material handling equipment, including idlers, pulleys, belt conveyors, stackers and other conveyor parts. This solutions section groups that line by the kind of job it does: moving material along a route, building a stockpile, or handling material at a plant or port. Each solution page below describes a system type named on the company website homepage, not a delivered project for a named customer, and no customer name is claimed on any page here.

System types described on the company website

• Iron Ore Blending Yard Conveying — a conveying system for steel and sintering plants, as captioned on the company website.
• Port Long-Distance Pipe Belt Conveyor — a pipe belt system for port handling, as captioned on the company website.
• Coal Fuel Handling System — a fuel handling system for coal-fired power plants, as captioned on the company website.
• Belt Conveyors — the belt systems that carry material along a route.

How to brief a solution

State the material, the route, the start and end points, and the duty the system must sustain. Please confirm the minimum order quantity with the supplier before placing an order. Please confirm the lead time with the supplier before placing an order. Certificates available upon request.

Grouping the line by job on this site

A solution is grouped here by the job it performs rather than by the catalogue family it belongs to, because a single job usually crosses several families. A blending yard job, for example, involves a belt system that carries ore, a stacker that builds the piles, and a reclaim arrangement that feeds the plant, and an inquiry that names only one of those parts leaves the supplier guessing about the rest. A port route job likewise involves an enclosed belt for the long leg, a stockyard arrangement at one or both ends, and a discharge arrangement that suits the receiving equipment, and each of those parts changes the answer for the others. Grouping by job therefore helps a buyer describe a complete system in one inquiry, and it helps the supplier check the interfaces between parts, such as where a stacker meets a belt, where a belt meets a discharge chute, and where a reclaim feed meets a plant feed. The three system pages in this section are each described as a type, not as a delivered project, and each page states what kind of job it covers, what lines it involves, and what an inquiry should contain. A buyer who is unsure which job their system belongs to can start from the material and the route: a yard that stores and blends points to the blending yard page, a long route to or from a port points to the pipe belt page, and a plant that burns coal points to the fuel handling page. From there, the family pages for idlers, pulleys, belt systems, stackers and parts give the detail behind each part of the system, and the inquiry can name the parts as a set.

Briefing a system type in one inquiry

When a system rather than a single part is being briefed, the inquiry should read as one story from start to finish, not as a list of disconnected part names. Begin with the material and where it comes from, continue through every stage it passes, and end with where it must arrive and in what condition. Name the start point and the end point, the route between them including any change of direction or level, and the duty the system must sustain, including whether it runs continuously or in campaigns and whether it runs indoors, outdoors or partly underground. Then name the interfaces: the feed point where material enters the system, the discharge point where it leaves, and any stockpile in between, because interfaces are where most system problems start. State the safety rules that apply on your site, the housekeeping you expect along the route, and the maintenance access you can offer, since a system that cannot be reached cannot be maintained. Finally, list the spares you want priced with the system, such as belt sections, rollers for the longest runs, and wear parts for the loading zones, so the first quotation covers the system and its first years of running rather than only the day it is installed.
