B
Bulk materials handling systems work where high efficiency has a key role. FAMUR’s transportation systems
such as underground and surface belt conveyors, stackers and stacker-loaders, as well as portal and semi-portal
scrapers are designed to meet transportation needs of open-pit and underground mines, as well as storage areas.

P
PIOMA belt conveyors are used in more than a hundred
underground mines around the world. They are designed
to work on inclines, horizontal curves and faults. The belt
widths used range from 800 to 1600 mm.

ADVANTAGES:
possibility of setting up the conveyor exactly as
required by selecting components to suit the planned
loads, lengths and angles of gallery inclination.

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT:
disc brakes with adjustable force and time of braking
drum brakes
electrohydraulic thrusters for 127 V-1140 V
back-stops
vulcanizing presses
cylindrical, bevel-cylindrical and worm gears
gear cooling systems
rakes
belt cleaning equipment
power supply and control systems
vibration measurement and analysis systems
idlers
pulleys
winches
tensioning systems
- hoisitng tensioning systems
- constant force tensioning systems:
   hydraulic and gravity systems
- follow-up tensioning systems

S
Surface belt conveyors are used for continuous and
efficient transportation of bulk materials at open pit mines,
power stations, seaports, material handling and storage
areas, as well as for in-plant transportation and large-scale
earthworks.

ADVANTAGES:
lower maintenance costs and better availability together
with more regular material flow in comparison to vehicle
transport

STACKERS AND STACKER-LOADERS

S
Stackers and stacker-loaders are used to move
transported materials from the conveyor belt processing
line to the storage yards and to load materials from the
yards. They can operate in a fully automatic mode.
