Calculation and simulation model of a system RopeCon

Abstract

Transport of material plays a very important role in the mining. The main task of the material transport is conveying raw materials into the storage bin. There are applied in the area of bulk solid transportation not only the traditional kinds of transport. The unconventional transport systems are usually developed from the "classic" systems. One of the new transport methods is application of the system RopeCon, which represents a combination of the rope transport and belt transport. This paper deals with the creation of geometry and simulation model of the RopeCon conveyor.
