ABSTRACT

Objective. Analysis of the additional effect of reducing the energy consumption of the conveyor units of the mine transport network when adjusting the speed of the belt.

The research methodology consists in the analysis of the conveyor operating time with the minimum speed and the speed corresponding to the average load flow for two series-mounted conveyors with adjustable belt speed.

Research results. It is shown that when several conveyors pass through a load, there is an additional reduction in electricity consumption due to the operation of each subsequent conveyor for a longer time at low speed.

Scientific novelty A significant increase in energy efficiency has been proven for brahmsberg conveyors operating for a longer time at full load due to the averaging of the load flow coming from the conveyors with adjustable belt speed.

Practical meaning. The use of means to increase the energy efficiency of the mine conveyor transport, namely: regulation of the speed of the conveyor belt, gives an additional reduction in electricity consumption not only on the conveyors where they are installed, but also on the conveyors installed further in the movement of coal mass by changing the characteristics of the flow itself. The amount of additional reduction in electricity costs reaches 3-20% depending on the technical and technological conditions.

Keywords: energy efficiency, belt conveyor, induction sensor, adjustable drive.
