Created date: 2025-03-21

1. Structure of Coal Conveyor Bridge 

Coal Conveyor Bridge mainly consists of the following parts: 

Bridge Main Body: An overhead channel supported by steel structure or concrete, usually of closed or semi-closed design to prevent coal scattering and environmental pollution.

Conveyor belt: belt conveyor installed inside the bridge, used to carry and transport coal.

Driving device: including motor, reducer, etc., to provide power for the conveyor belt.

Rollers and pulleys: support the conveyor belt and ensure its smooth operation.

Unloading device: unloads coal from the conveyor belt at a designated location.

Protective devices: such as anti-running device, emergency stop device, etc., to ensure safe operation.

Dust removal system: used to reduce the dust pollution generated during coal conveying.

2. Characteristics of coal conveyor bridge 

Efficient and continuous transport: it can realise continuous and automatic transport of coal and improve transport efficiency.

Space-saving: overhead design reduces the occupation of ground space, especially suitable for places with limited space.

Good environmental protection: closed design reduces coal scattering and dust pollution.

Strong adaptability: it can be designed into straight or curve form according to the terrain and conveying distance.

Convenient maintenance: modular design makes the equipment easy to install and maintain.

3. Application Scenarios of Coal Conveyor Bridge 

Thermal power plant: conveying coal from coal storage yard to boiler room.

Coal mine: conveying the mined coal from the mine to the coal washing plant or coal storage yard.

Harbour: for loading or unloading coal.

Iron and steel mills: for transporting coal to coke ovens or blast furnaces.

Chemical plant: for conveying coal or other bulk materials.

4. Design Points of Coal Conveyor Bridge 

Conveying Capacity: Determine the width and speed of the conveyor belt according to the amount of coal transported.

Conveying distance: design the length and supporting structure of the bridge to ensure stability.

Terrain adaptation: design the height and slope of the bridge according to the topography of the site.

Environmental requirements: Equipped with dust removal system and sealing device to reduce dust pollution.

Safety: set up protective devices and monitoring system to ensure safe operation.

5. Advantages of coal transport bridge 

High degree of automation, reduce labour cost.

High transport efficiency, suitable for large-scale coal conveying.

Reduce the loss of coal in the process of transport.

Small impact on the environment, in line with environmental protection requirements.

6. Maintenance of Coal Conveyor Bridge 

Regularly check the wear and tear of the conveyor belt and replace it in time.

Clean the accumulated coal and dust inside the bridge to prevent blockage.

Check the operation status of the driving device and the rollers to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Lubricate the moving parts regularly to reduce wear and tear.
