Incline Conveyor Operations – Conveyor Safety SpecialistsICO Conveyor Belt Arrestor Presentation to CMA - Safety Symposium– October 2012 Presented by Pierre Viviers
Agenda • Overview of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor (CBA) • Benefits of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor (CBA) • Features of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor (CBA) • Reference Sites • Questions and Answers • Moving Forward
Overview of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor (CBA) • Arrests snapped Conveyor Belt, preventing Damage and/or Fatalities • Robust and Maintenance Free • Reduces Downtime from 2-3 Days to 4 Hours • Specifically Engineered for Incline Conveyors • Enhances Safety and Productivity of Incline Conveyors • Locally Designed and Manufactured to Highest Standards (CSIR and SABS) Safe, Reliable and Tested
Benefits of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor • The ICO Conveyor Belt Arrestor reduces the risk of injury or fatalities due to belt and material rolling back down the incline. • The ICO Conveyor Belt Arrestor also improves productivity as it reduces down time cause by broken belts by up to 90%. • The ICO Conveyor Belt Arrestor reduces damage to the existing incline conveyor structure caused by a belt and material rolling down the incline following a broken or snapped belt. • Reduces TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Reduces TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) • Maintenance • CBA is robust and virtually maintenance free • Lifetime of device longer than the lifetime of a shaft • Safety • Cost of fatality to mine • Improved safety record of mine • Productivity • Reduces time to repair belt up to 90% • Reduced time to clean up debris out of incline • Allocation of resources to other projects
Features of the Conveyor Belt Arrestor • Will fit any incline conveyor belt width • SABS approved materials • CBA works on any incline from 9 to any degree incline • CBA Top Arrestor is installed as close to the head pulley as possible • Designed and Manufactured for harsh mining and Corrosive Environments • Will catch any snapped belt within seconds of breaking • Secondary safety devices can be linked to CBA
Reference Sites • SA Chrome • Harmony Gold – Elandsrand • Anglo Platinum – Boschfontein, Turffontein, Townlands, Underground, Amandelbult, Rasimone, Zwartklip • Zimplats – Ngezi Mine • Anglo Coal – Phola Project • Anglo Coal – Zondagsfontein • Sasol Coal - Sigma • RPM Bleskop • Hernic Ferrochrome – Mooinooi and Brits • Kumba Resources • De Beers Group – Jwaneng – Botswana • Goldfields – Kloof and Libanon Division • Aquarius Platinum – Everest Mine • Harmony Gold – Tsheponeng • BCL – Botswana • PMC – Palaborwa 100% Success Rate
Goldfields - Kloof • We are aware of 4 instances where the two belt snapped and the Arrestors successfully caught the belt. • Nigel Bower the then Engineering Manager at Kloof Mine wrote ICO an e-mail confirming that apart from the improved safety on the incline conveyor, Kloof save R3,5 million rand due to reduced downtime.
