Belt Conveying of Minerals is a comprehensive reference on the science and technology of belt conveyors, aimed at providing mine and quarry operators, as well as engineering students, with a balanced view of the technical issues associated with belt conveyors and to assist in the decision-making process when installing belt conveyor systems. A discussion of the history and economics of conveyor applications sets the scene. Conveyor design is investigated in detail, covering power requirements, belt tensioning, and hardware. Principles regarding construction and joining of belts are outlined and a helpful and practical overview of relevant standards, belt test methods, and issues surrounding standardisation is given. Conveyor belt systems can represent a significant operational hazard, so the authors have set out to highlight the important area of safety, with consideration given to fire/electrical resistance, as well as the interface between personnel and conveyor systems – including nip points and operational issues such as man-riding. Selected case studies illustrate some practical aspects of installation and operation.

Study and Design of Belt Conveyor System in Coal Mines has been written as a part of work and also to foster the use as a handbook for general applications in coal mines. Mining Industry in India is a major economic activity as India is home to great reserves of sheet mica, iron ore and bauxite. Various mines in India typically works on conventional production methods, and belt conveyors is an integral part of it. This work enables to serve as a reference and would help in consultation.
