Barge unloading 3000 tons of large ore ! The ore is difficult to move on the conveyor

[@paulcampbell1035]

Interesting video but would have liked to watched til the end until it's completely empty and maybe pan round so we can see where it's unloaded that would have been far more interesting to watch

[@mmdirtyworkz]

I agree.

[@dilworthh]

Get out more

[@jackboysen2373]

The slats cover the conveyor belt during the voyage. These are ore ships that transport rock or stone to mills. The slats control the rate at which the ore lands on the conveyor. Other wise the conveyor would bog down under the thousans of tons or weight on them

[@mkiwiet]

Thanks. That was strange! I had to stop and read the comments just to figure that one out. Now it makes sense

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Thanks I was wondering why there is so many slats and also wondering why the or didn't bog down the conveyor thanks for answering both questions

[@freeman2399]

I like how the pry bar is tethered so if the worker gets buried they can get the bar back.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Looks like the bar is actually tethered so that they could mechanically pull on it. Tethering the worker won't help since the danger here is falling rock, not moving belt. There's a person on the belt start/stop button at all times.

I wonder how much trouble it is to get the ore off if the conveyor breaks? It certainly doesn't look easy to replace!

[@FlushtheSystem]

You're absolutely right I bet.

[@skulcandykid]

They rip open the convayor from underneath. Attach a new long piece to the opposing end. Loop it around and make a new closing line where the old meets the new. But it takes a long time.

[@oliverxvi4373]

You mostly dont replace them if not totally worn out. Its kinda easy to repair the broken part on spot, and worth it if you have a load of stones and the rest of the belt looks good. Plus I think they inspect the belt pretty well before they dump.

[@ljrlimited9490]

When the mechanic arrives, the first thing he says is "you guys are gonna have to clear out all this material before I can work, you know."

[@admiralbenbow5083]

The largest lumps almost always end up at the bottom on the outside which in this case means they are furthest from the conveyor. I also deal with bulk commodities in my work!

[@papalaz4444244]

Admiral Benbow @admiralbenbow5083 This channel doesn't have any content

[@LabTech41]

It's a feature of how differently sized particles 'flow' within a mass; the bigger particles, being the most cumbersome and thus least able to flow, will typically end up at the bottom and to the outside of a pile if they're being agitated, because the smaller particles can best follow the path of least resistance. In fact, if you start out with a mass that's evenly distributed and agitate it, they'll naturally sort themselves in that fashion.

[@andreacrashe9894]

Does anyone know what those objects are, that they are pulling out of the ore and stacking them? 🤨 They appear to be wooden boards with a metal loop on the top. He has a keen eye at finding them. I wouldn't have seen them all in time to pull them all out. 😀 Also, all that grit probably act like sand paper and wear out the conveyer and it's bearings quickly. 🤔

[@DdW85]

These are covers for the conveyor. The guy in the front uses a winch to take them off one by one. Then he drops them on the belt. And every time he does, the guy in the back knows there is a cover coming.

[@brianevans6819]

@@DdW85 👍 Thanks, I see that now. He is progressively exposing the conveyer belt to more ore as it is emptied out. If all the ore was on the belt, the motor couldn't handle all the weight and seize the motor on the conveyor belt. 🤔

Why do you not push the sides onto the converyor at the same time? Instead of leaving a large line in the middle with both sides to clean up?

[@DFPercush]

Looks like that's what the water hoses are for. You can't manually push a 12 ft high pile of rock. But that water will eventually undermine it.

The wood slats cover / bridge the conveyor before being loaded, thus not jamming the belt with the weight, then as it’s unloaded the guy pulls them out one by one.

Covering up the conveyor because it wouldn't be able to move if the whole pile sat on it. They just remove enough of the slats to supply the conveyor.
