mine conveyor belt flammability

The research conducted to establish the correlation of the BELT with largescale belt fire flammability tests was done using 91107 cm 3642 in wide conveyor belt Due to today’s coal haulage capacity the mining industry is using 183 cm 72 in and wider conveyor belts

Conveyor belt fires can present a serious hazard in the confined environment of an underground coal mine To minimize this hazard Federal regulations were enacted following the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 to require the use of acceptable fireresistant conveyor belts and suitable belt slippagesequence switches fire warning devices and fire suppression systems

See the difference with the Shield Conveyor Belt The underground conveyor belt compound that meets government flammability standards to enhance miner safety The most valuable resource to come out of the mine is the one that goesin every day

As underground mining is often characterised by limited space and potentially combustible material due to the flammable atmosphere Sempertrans provides conveyor belt solutions with special flame retardant materials and increased belt lifetime These properties are critical to prevent frequent belt changes in harsh conditions

Conveyor belts Fire simulation flammability testing It was initially developed for the underground coal mining industry and has been contemporized to reflect requirements for fire resistant and antistatic conveyor belting and accessories as may be required for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

Conveyor belts represent a high risk because they have the ability to spread a fire over long distances Fires on belt conveyors are mostly ignited by mechanical failures like frozen idlers which is even more dangerous in combination with coal dust The fire safety requirements are similar for the most hard coal mining countries

FM Global Research has been working on conveyor belt flammability testing for loss prevention purposes both inplant and underground for several years We feel that there should be consideration of additional testing methodologies accepted for conveyor belt flammability and smoke generation
