From our time-saving belt winders/splice stations and pinch roll drives to our impact beds that extend belt life, Continental accessories can save you time and money.
Belt Winder
The Continental® belt winder simplifies and improves the control of your belting when you are adding to or removing belt from your system. It incorporates a patented pinch roll drive arrangement that delivers a constant winding speed and pull to the belt roll. The pivotal spool arrangement allows the spool of belt to be rotated 90 degrees in either direction. Lift cylinders make removal and installation operations significantly easier.
Splice Station
The Continental® splice station is a useful tool when adding or removing belt from the conveyor. The splice table is used in conjunction with the belt winder to provide a convenient work station for rapid splice installments or belt repair. Continental® splice tables can also be customized for a wide range of accessories to meet the customer's specific requirements.
Clean Up Conveyor
The unique Continental® Clean-up Conveyor effectively eliminates the cost of cleaning up dribble from underneath the belt discharge. It uses a shuttle car type flight conveyor concept, incorporating a control module that permits adjustable intermittent operation for fully automatic clean up of transfer spillage. This unit is built "Continental® Tough" and can endure the punishment associated with even the most severe mining applications.
Belt Turnover
The unique Continental® belt turnover system is designed to minimize material buildup and spillage on the return side of your conveyor system. By turning your conveyor belt over and allowing the clean side of your belt to contact the return rolls, material clean-up on return rolls is minimized allowing for a more efficient running conveyor system.
Belt Storage Units
Increased production afforded by longwall mining systems has had a major impact on the cost of material mined. However, the full potential of a longwall unit cannot be realized without the utilization of an effective, trouble-free belt storage unit.
The Continental belt storage unit consists of a bolted construction rail system, stationary pulley cluster, rolling carriage and a winch assembly. The rugged framework and carriages are substantial enough to withstand rigorous mining conditions and at the same time still portable enough for movement between installations. For relocation, the winch and movable carriage are removed and the frame is disassembled into sizes conducive to your mining environment. After reassembly, the wire rope is reattached to the carriage and the unit is ready to operate. Because of its modular design, no tedious reducer/motor/winch realignment is necessary for the winch component.
The carriage and belt supports are designed with V-grooved wheels. These wheels move along inverted angles that are secured to heavy duty I-beams and automatically drop return belt supports (drop-off carriages) at set intervals along this unit as belt is stored. The drop-off carriages are then automatically retracted as the carriage moves back. As of the longwall face retreats, the main haulage systems must be shortened. This procedure is completely automatic and requires no operator. All units have manual settings to facilitate belt splicing and maintenance Continental belt storage units are available in single or multiple lap configurations. Our units can be designed to meet the specific needs of your conveyor system. All-Electric™ constant tension winches, used in conjunction with belt storage units, provide carriage travel in excess of 1’ /sec. and system response time of 20 milliseconds.
