Ties Master title style
The Rail-Veyor track can
easily be installed on a lightly
ballasted route with rail and
steel ties making up the track
system.
The route along an existing

truck route, mine drift or
over a quarry floor will make
an ideal base to support the
system’s light footprint with
a load of only 8 lbs/sq inch.

Unloading
Material can be unloaded from
the Rail-Veyor train by inverting
the train over a dump loop and
then re-inverted and directed
back to the loading point.

Guidelinestitle style
Optimum System Application Guidelines:
Generally more than 2/3 mi. (1 km) haulage distance
Generally more than 1M tons (0.9M tonnes) per year (Less for underground)
Material Size:
30” (762mm) car width will generally accommodate 24” (610mm) material size
48” (1219mm) car width will generally accommodate 36” (914mm) material size
Above may depend on material size distribution percentages
Curve ability:
100 ft (30 meter) radius min horizontally
16.5 ft (5 meter) radius min vertically
Grade ability:
R-V is proven on grades up to 22%.
Can go higher as there is no vibration to cause material rollback.
Maximum Train length

Technically there is no limit but it is usually determined by system layout (loops,
sidings), and loading requirements

Guidelinestitle style
System Tonnage Rates:
System rates up to 10,000 tons (9,000 tonnes) per hour are possible and are
generally determined by loading system limitations.
These high or higher tonnage rates may require multiple systems.
General System Speeds:

Loading speed 5 ft./sec, 3.35 MPH (1.5m/sec, 5.4 KPH)
Tramming speed 20 ft/sec, 13.4 MPH (6.0m/sec, 21.6 KPH)
Dumping speed 10 ft/sec, 6.7 MPH (3 m/sec, 10.8 KPH)
Above are guidelines which depending on overall system TPH requirements are
optimized
Easy Portability ( Relocate / Extend):

Ability to install or relocate a drive station in less that one 8 hour shift
Rail-Veyor has a simple light footprint:

Only 8 PSI load with small level roadway needed with 2” (5cm) gravel base
6 ft (1.8m) wide (just track), 15 ft (4.5m) wide (at drive station)

Install Site Reasons for choosing Rail-Veyor
2007 Harmony Gold To replace underground trucks at a lower operating cost. Still in
– So. Africa service.
2008 Rail-Veyor Test For continued demonstration and reliability testing to prove out
Site - Sudbury new design improvements.
2011 VALE 114 Test to prove a quicker way of mine development in reaching
Nickel Mine underground deposits by replacing traditional trucks. Mine is
- Sudbury closed now after successful test and plans are to relocate and
reuse the Rail-Veyor equipment.
2017 Agnico Eagle To prove a way to extend the mine by reducing trucks
Goldex Mine which improved mine ventilation and safety. Also because R-V
– Val-d’Or could curve they could optimize the route with no need to go
Quebec straight as with conveyors.
2017-18 Maroil To replace a high maintenance unreliable conveyor system to
- Venezuela move Pet Coke to a port from various pile locations and do it
safely with reduced fire risk and environmental impact.
2018 Doe Run As a proof of concept to reduce costs and eliminate higher cost
9-Mar-18- Missouri truck operation. First step for various other planned installations.

• First generation design with over 10

years in operation!
• 4.7 km long underground tram one way
• Operates in a vertical loop configuration
with 3 trains
• Slight downgrade loaded haul between
two shafts
• 4M Tonnes /year (300 TPH)
CEO 2013 comments: “The Rail-Veyor is

cheaper and safer than using trucks or conveyor
belts to transport ore, since electricity
consumption is minimal and it is driverless. And
it is simple to use, and easy to repair and
maintain.”
