Funded Activity Summary

Development of a New Generation Low Rolling Resistance Conveyor Belt. Belt conveying systems are employed extensively to transport bulk materials within Australia's mining and mineral processing industries. The energy consumption of belt conveyors are significant and dominated by the indentation rolling resistance of the idler rolls into the bottom cover of the belt. This project will develop technology to design more energy efficient conveyors by employing new laminated low energy loss belt covers. With Australian mineral exports exceeding $100 billion, coupled with the considerable transportation distances often necessary in Australian mining operations, the outcomes of this research will result in significant energy savings and economic benefits to these vital industries.
