Lubelski Wegiel - Bogdanka Mine
- Owner: Lubelski Wegiel S.A.
- Project: ROM Breaking/Sizing Station & Overland Conveyance
- Location: KWK Bogdanka Mine, Poland
- Scope: Design and Engineering
Project Background
In 2008 Separator R&S was contracted by Lubelski Wegiel S.A to design a ROM breaking/sizing station and an overland conveyor system to send ROM coal from the newly opened Stefanow deep mine to the existing Bogdanka Coal Preparation Plant.
The overland belt system consists of three separate conveyors with 1800 metric TPH capacity, with the longest belt being 8900 feet long. The conveying system runs in an elevated enclosed gallery on trestles, with specialized sound abatement features, to meet strict environmental regulations, as well as allowing local farmers unimpeded road and field access.
Project execution is to start in 2009 and will be completed in 2010. Engineering design was accomplished using state of the art design software, optimizing idler spacing, pulley design, take-up design and belt tensions to provide a most efficient and reliable system.
