best bulk material handling system rail-veyor® outperforms conveyors & truck haulage
DESCRIPTION
Rail-Veyor® is an industrial BULK MATERIAL HANDLING solution for underground or surface applications with all the best features from conveyors, heavy rail and truck haulage in one complete package. Rail-Veyor® solves complex bulk material handling challenges for the aggregate, mining, forestry and manufacturing industries. Rail-Veyor® systems offer a high degree of design flexibility, competitive capital cost (due to use of light rail and system layout flexibility/ operational at grades up to 20%, reducing infrastructure preparation time and cost relative to grade-limited rail and truck haulage/short turning radius of 30 m reduces rail footprint and cost), low operating and maintenance costs, high reliability, safe automated continuous operation, ease of maintenance, energy efficiency and superior environmental performance relative to competing technologies. Independent studies have found the Rail-Veyor® system to be the preferred alternative in bulk materials handling.TRANSCRIPT

System Configurations
Depending on performance requirements Rail-Veyor can be designed in
a number of variations which generally involve one of the below basic
configurations
10
Loading
Loading of Rail-Veyor can be with a
variety of methods from a simple
overhead hopper/chute, a pan feeder
or a discharge conveyor.
Loading rate and train speed can be
matched to optimize material flow.
11
Rail Cars
New designed lighter weight structural
cars are now available which allow for
increased loading and greater
efficiency

Rail-Veyor Facts & General Guidelines
19
Material Size:Handles material up to 28” minus
Annual Tonnages:R/V SS …. Std. System: More than 1M TPAR/V LS …. Light System: 500k – 1M TPAR/V XL …. XL System: Cars with higher sides providing increased car capacity beyond std is needed to achieve higher TPH rates
Haulage Distance: Generally more than 1 km (3300ft.) is preferedLonger distances (beyond 10 km, 6 miles) based generally on availability of power distribution system
Curve and Grade ability:100 foot (30 meter) radius min Horizontally100 foot (30 meter) radius min VerticallyR-V can run on grades up to 22%. No vibration to cause rollback.
Maximum Train lengthTechnically there is no limit but it is usually determined by system layout (loops, sidings), and loading
20
Loading Rate:Recommended speed 1.5m/sec (5 ft/sec, 3.35 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 3,100 tons (2,800 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 6,000 tons (5,500 tonnes) per hour
Tramming Rate:Recommend speed 6.0/sec (20 ft/sec, 13.4 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 12,400 tons (11,200 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 24,000 tons (22,000 tonnes) per hour
Dumping Rate:Recommended speed 3 m/sec (10 ft/sec, 6.7 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 6,200 tons (5,600 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 12,000 tons (11,000 tonnes) per hour
Easy Portability ( Relocate / Extend):Ability to install or relocate a drive station in one 8-10 hour shift
Rail-Veyor has a simple light footprint:Only 8 PSI load with small level roadway needed with 4-6” gravel base 6 ft wide (just track), 15 ft wide (at drive station)

Eliminate These Risks!Health & Safety Benefits• Operates remotely with no on-board
operators and offers a much safer system with little human interaction or need for sophisticated communication systems
• Provides a healthier environment with a clean solution unlike trucks emitting fumes, Diesel Particulate Matter DPM, or high volumes of noise and dust
• Eliminates vehicle collisions & accident risks

• Low Cost Ease of Maintenance…• Requires once a week “walk around” visual
inspections
• Very few if any adjustments required
• No mid life overhauls• Hub/Wheel bearings and clevis car connections
designed to go 20 year life
• Motors and gear boxes are proven industrial
products designed for much heavier service
• Components designed for easy change out
…. Results in little down time
