The corrugated sidewall belt conveyor supporting by wire rope can transport the bulk material from medium distance to long distance, which is composed of tower, supporting structure, wire rope, roller, corrugated sidewall belt and so on, the whole conveying system combines the technical advantages of engineering rope way and traditional belt conveyor. The conveyor contains a belt with corrugated sidewall, and the conveyor belt is provided with a wheel shaft fixed at the same distance. The wheel shaft is used to support the conveyor belt. The two ends of the wheel shaft are respectively equipped with rollers, which run on the wire rope supported by the tower frame. The system adopts friction drive, which drives the conveyor belt to run through the roller arranged at the head or tail, thus dragging the conveying of materials through the roller running on the wire rope. The bearing wire rope is located above the ground and is secured by a support tower, which is arranged on a preconditioned foundation. This innovative technology integration, which makes the whole conveying system can avoid the traditional belt conveyor transmission failures and makes full use of the advantages of the easy determination of the engineering rope way transportation route and the simple structure of the belt conveyor, so as to achieve the requirement that the transportation system can easily cross the obstacles such as roads, valleys, rivers and buildings, and realize the transportation of materials under the changeable and complicated terrain conditions.

The corrugated sidewall belt conveyor supporting by wire rope can transport materials perfectly in difficult terrain, which can easily cross obstacles such as river, buildings, canyon, roads, etc. and can easily overcome the conveying part of gradient up to 70°. This is the same as the technology of transporting materials at a gradient of 90°, which is derived from the vertical conveying technology. The conveying capacity of the belt, the conveying speed and the nominal fracture strength are all factors that determine the height of vertical lifting. Since the wire rope support distance between the towers can reach several hundred meters, the conveying system will not be affected by the terrain or road vehicles or other infrastructure between the towers. Depending on the steepness of the terrain, the proper height of the wheel shaft on the conveyor belt can also be determined to make the material on the belt more stable.
Conveyor belt is multi layer polyurethane fiber or reinforced wire rope core corrugated sidewall belt, according to a certain distance installed in the base belt and corrugated sidewall between the wheel shaft in addition to the supporting role, and also has the function of the partition, the height of the partition is determined according to the actual transport inclination. The integrated wheel set has replaced the traditional idlers, which has greatly reduced the running resistance, saved energy and reduced the noise during the system operation.
Similar to traditional belt conveyor, the conveyor system relies on a friction drive set at the head or tail drum to drive the conveyor belt. In addition to connecting the rollers at both ends, the wheel shaft also plays the role of supporting the conveyor belt instead of the supporting roller. The roller walks on the wire rope to guide the conveyor belt to run. Compared with the traditional belt conveyor, there is no depression resistance between the idler and the conveyor belt in this conveying system. The main resistance is the rolling resistance between the roller and the wire rope, which reduces the total resistance of the system. The total driving power of the system is reduced according to the friction driving, which saves economic costs.
The corrugated sidewall belt conveyor supporting by wire rope has the characteristics of easy maintenance, all moving parts, such as the roller connected to the belt, will pass through the inspection station and can be easily repaired in the station. The conveyor can also be equipped with a patrol car for inspection along the line. Therefore, the whole system needs only a few personnel to operate and serve. In such an era that emphasizes the reduction of environmental pollution and advocates resource conservation vigorously, in the transportation of bulk materials, the corrugated sidewall belt conveyor supported by wire rope will become an attractive transportation mode.
