Material transportation. Powdery materials such as lime, dedusting ash, desulfurization ash and fly ash shall be transported in a closed manner by means of tubular belt conveyor, pneumatic conveying equipment and tanker. Iron concentrate, coal, coke, sinter, pellet, limestone, dolomite, ferroalloy, blast furnace slag, steel slag, desulfurization gypsum and other lumpy or sticky wet materials shall be transported in a closed manner by tubular belt conveyor or belt corridor; if it is really necessary to transport by automobile, it shall be transported in a closed carriage or covered tightly, and dust suppression measures such as humidification shall be taken during loading and unloading. Material conveying and blanking points shall be equipped with gas collecting hood and dust removal facilities, or dust suppression measures such as spray shall be taken.

2. Material transportation. Powdery materials such as lime, dedusting ash, desulfurization ash and fly ash shall be transported in a closed manner by means of tubular belt conveyor, pneumatic conveying equipment and tanker. Iron concentrate, coal, coke, sinter, pellet, limestone, dolomite, ferroalloy, blast furnace slag, steel slag, desulfurization gypsum and other lumpy or sticky wet materials shall be transported in a closed manner by tubular belt conveyor or belt corridor; if it is really necessary to transport by automobile, it shall be transported in a closed carriage or covered tightly, and dust suppression measures such as humidification shall be taken during loading and unloading. Material conveying and blanking points shall be equipped with gas collecting hood and dust removal facilities, or dust suppression measures such as spray shall be taken. Wheel and body washing facilities shall be provided at the stock yard exit. The roads in the plant area shall be hardened, and cleaning, watering and other measures shall be taken to keep them clean.

4. Conclusion

1. Compared with the overhead full-pass closed corridor belt conveyor and the overhead pipe belt conveyor, the weight of the belt conveyor is about 1.6 times of the weight of the pipe belt conveyor, the cost of the belt conveyor is about 1.44 times of the cost of the pipe belt conveyor, and the investment cost performance of the pipe belt conveyor is better than that of the closed corridor belt conveyor.

2, closed corridor belt conveyor if you need to reduce costs, you can start from the corridor structure, the specific summary of the next issue to share the "tube belt conveyor and fully closed corridor belt conveyor cost comparative analysis (II)."
