The most recent innovation in the field of vertical conveying for the bulk materials handling industry is the Pocketlift. Based on the Flexowell technology and the high capacity bucket elevator, the Pocketlift system was developed for deep shaft underground applications in mining and tunneling industry with a lifting height up to 700 m in one flight. Since September 1996, when the vertical Pocketlift S-Shape Conveyor was installed for the New York water tunnel project, the system has established itself in many other projects, mainly in the coal and gypsum underground mining industry. Due to...

Conveyor Belt Group POCKETLIFT® Technical Details With Pocketlift the function of power transfer is achieved by two narrow steel cord belts which are connected with rigid triangular cross bars. The material to be conveyed is fed into the fabric reinforced rubber pockets, which are bolted at the center of the cross bars. These bars also have a guiding function. All three elements are connected detachable and allow separate shipment and easy installation on site. Being a further development of the Flexowell technology the standard Pocketlift Type III reaches capacities up to 1500 m3/h and...

Conveyor Belt Group POCKETLIFT® Type III and Type II Technical Information All forces resulting from dead weight and carried material are transmitted by high tensile strength steel cord belts with nominal rates up to 10.000 N/mm. Although an increase in belt speed allows a decrease in belt width and tension, high belt speeds may result in excessive wear and will reduce the overall lifetime of the components. According to the type of material to be conveyed ContiTech engineers will select the most efficient speed for each application. All Pocketlifts are calculated with a minimum safety...

Challenge of the future In our latest feasibility study ContiTech shows that by placing one Pocketlift on top of the other it is possible to reach a vertical lift of 1000 m with a capacity of 1500 t/h. Additional excavation for the material transfer point can be minimized to standard bunker size. Belt Monitoring Systems Besides other monitoring systems the ˝Splice Elongation System˝ is one of the latest developments which allow operators real time monitoring of the splice, which is the most sensitive part of the belt. The system can be easy integrated in an exisiting PLC. Measuring marks...
