Whether in underground mining, open-pit mining, or port facilities, continuous conveyors hold a high position in material transport, largely independent of the industry. The correct selection of individual components that complement each other to form a complex system is of particular importance. In bulk material industries, considerations of cost, as well as the aspects of lifespan and availability, play a central role.
From the perspective of sustainability, digital possibilities, and the efficiency improvement of systems, renowned experts from various fields in Essen provide insights into trends, challenges, and success stories through presentations and panel discussions. The program also offers a glimpse into what should be considered in planning, operation, modernization, and maintenance.
The contributions of the anniversary edition focus on the following highly relevant topics:
Digital Mine
Sustainable Plant Operation
Energy Efficiency
Strategic Raw Material Supply
Resource Conservation through Recycling
Electrification, Hybridization, and Decarbonization
Efficient and Compact Construction
Installation of a Flyingbelt System
The extensive program, including a joint visit to the product exhibition and an evening event, provides diverse opportunities for discussion and networking. The excursion also contributes to this. In 2024, it is titled “Intermodal Freight Transport” and leads to the locomotive maintenance facility of Captrain Deutschland GmbH and the container terminal in the Dortmund harbor.
