ISSUES AND ACTION PLAN

FOR
BELT CONVEYORS- CCS SECTION
 Issues common to belt
• Old starter- All belt operated by A67 Model starter of wallancetown make .
Spare is originally not available. Safety system of starter don’t have requisite
reliability.
• Anti Roll Back Device – Presently using only one anti roll back fitted in one
gearbox for belt in gradient. Require double anti-rollback device for reliable
operation.
• Loop takeup tensioning arrangement- No spare gearbox of LTU available.
During breakdown LTU gearbox of running BELT is used.
• 1200mm belt structure - The bottom and top idler of Vishwa 1200 belt
running are old and required to be changed alongwith stool post and
brackets.

viton material and bush bearing replaced with And good quality bearings

leakage problem and improved performance.
Safety Issues
• Fine dust get accumulated at belt structure and gallery. Which require
water spraying for dust suppression.
• Presently water spraying is done using RAW WATER in TC1, TC2 and
TC3 while for belt no TC4, TC5, TC6 AND TC7 , dauwty water supplied
to development section is used.
• The use of raw water sometimes hinder skip pocket operation while
that of dauwty water affect development section.
• So CCS require independent water supply system for spraying purpose
throughout belt circuit.
BELT SPECIFIC ISSUES
