The overland conveyor is a type of bulk material handling machine. It is widely used in conveying minerals, grains, clinker, sand, aggregate, etc. Do you know how long the longest overland conveyor in the world is? We will talk it in this article.
Belt conveyor has been widely used in many industries after it was developed. We can use it in light and heavy industry. Here I will introduce a longest belt conveyor system in the word. This conveyor line has 100km length.
It was installed in Western Sahara in Africa. The right to operate it now belongs to Morocco. It is an ideal choice for continuous transportation of materials. The conveyor belt can move 2,000 tons of phosphate per hour, meaning that Bou Craa’s annual production is about 3 million tons. After the phosphate rock is conveyed to the port, we will load it into ship with shiploaders. Phosphate rocks are being sent around the world.
The conveyor belt is the longest of its kind in the world, and its open, desert location means that wind sometimes blows phosphate off the belt causinga white streak, which is visible from above.
A winding system of interlinked belts, the extra-long conveyance system transports phosphate ore from a mining operation in Bou Craa in Western Sahara to the harbor town of Marsa near El Aaiún where it can be shipped worldwide. As the rocky ore makes its way across the landscape the strong desert winds blow the lighter particles of the white ore off the belt, creating a bold ivory streak along the length of the conveyance system. With this extra indicator differentiating the belt’s track from the landscape the miles of moving phosphor can even be seen from space. We can see the conveyor system from space.
