Developing a Mechanised Cleaning System – for Cleaning Under and Around Moving Conveyors

Follow on review of mechanised conveyor cleaning equipment close to being usable underground, flameproof and not, written to help the coal industry agree which options to develop.

What this report found

No flameproof mechanised system for cleaning under and around moving conveyors was found to exist anywhere. Of more than 200 mini machinery manufacturers identified worldwide, few build for mining, and only one or two products were near ready for surface use. Manufacturer interest in mining applications has since risen, but the industry has not settled on which technology to back.

What this report found

A three dimensional model of the northern Witbank and Highveld coalfield was built from more than 1100 borehole logs, with strata sorted into 13 major groupings and surface topography taken from satellite elevation data. It runs on open source visualisation software rather than a commercial package. Delays limited coverage to about a quarter of the coalfield.
