that defeat the traditional design parameters based on tension and topography. РFigure 14РMRC vs. Conventional Conveyor in Horizontal CurveРFigure 15- MRC at Line Creek, CanadaРFigure 15 shows a 10.4 km Cable Belt with a 430m horizontal radius at Line Creek in Canada. РVertical Adaptability РSometimes material needs to be raised or lowered and the conventional conveyor is limited to incline angles around 16-18 degrees. But again non-traditional variations of belt conveyors have been quite essful at increased angles Рas well as straight up. РHigh Angle Conveyor (HAC.) РThe first example manufactured by Continental Conveyor & Equipment Co. uses conventional ponents in a non-conventional way (Figure 16). The concept is known as a sandwich conveyor as the material is carried between two belts.
