RopeCon®System advantages.
Maintenance friendly
Small number of moving parts - Thanks to the straightforward, clean design and the small number of moving parts, the system requires less inspection and maintenance work.
Maintenance in the stations - Because the running wheels are attached to the belt, they keep passing through the stations where they can be inspected and maintained without a problem.
Environmentally friendly
Quiet operation - Low noise emissions due to plastic wheels which run on steel ropes.
Low dust emissions - Once the material has been loaded onto the belt it remains stationary. Dust emissions caused by material moving on the belt can therefore be reduced to a minimum.
High availability
The straightforward, clean design with only a limited number of moving parts helps to reduce the potential for defects while increasing availability.
Belt guidance with running wheels - No skewing of the belt even in crosswinds or with irregular load conditions.
Low operating costs
Low energy consumption - With its low friction coefficient the system requires less energy, which results in reduced operating costs.
Long service life of the belt - The material is stationary on the conveyor belt. This greatly reduces wear and tear on the conveyor belt.
Automatic operation - The number of operating personnel can thus be reduced.
Ideal for challenging or sensitive terrain
Long rope spans - The system crosses obstacles like rivers, buildings, ravines, or roads without a problem.
Line structure guided over towers - low space requirements on the ground, and no barrier for humans or animals.
