Requirements of Delta Electricity
Delta Electricity approached Aerobelt to design and supply Aerobelt conveyors to replace the aging and unreliable enclosed belt conveyors used on-site. Low maintenance costs and reduced power demand were key reasons the Aerobelt conveyors were selected for the project.
The conveyors had to:
- Provide a fly ash discharge rate of up to 400 tph.
- The new conveyor had to fit inside most of the existing conveyor galleries.
Technical Information
- Conveyors: 3
- Belt Width: 700 mm
- Length: 806 m
- Inclination: 0 – 4°
- Capacity: 400 tph
- Belt Speed: 2.4 m/s
- Drive Power: 37 kW
- Fan Power: 7.5 kW
- Product Density: 1.18 T/m³
Aerobelt Solution
Aerobelt selected a 700 mm wide belt system that could be assembled in the galleries while preserving existing gallery walkways. The existing support steelwork was modified to suit the new conveyors, or new steelwork was provided if the conveyor route did not utilise the existing galleries.
Aerobelt were given the order to remove all the existing equipment and install the three new conveyors, including all the electrical, civil, and mechanical installation works. This included the dry and wet commissioning.
Aerobelt also were awarded the contract to maintain the equipment for a period of two years after installation. During this time, the Aerobelt maintenance expenditure was only five percent of the amount spent on the previous system over an equivalent period.
