A tripper conveyor is a form of conveyor belt used in construction, mining, and other large-scale earth-moving businesses. This particular type of conveyor was designed to ferry debris, earth, rocks, etc, uphill. SKE provide traveling tripper conveyor design service.
The tripper conveyor consists of a horizontal belt conveyor supported over the stockpile and a tripper carriage which traverses the length of the stockpile. Pulleys on the tripper are arranged so that the material on the belt is discharged onto a short chute attached to the carriage. The chute directs the material onto the stockpile.
Traveling tripper conveyor installation
For designing travelling tripper, first you have to make the layout for tripper. The first layout is view perpendicular to the head pulley of the tripper. This will show the tripper head pulley and the arrangement of chute. The chute is part of the tripper and hence it is moving item. This chute should clear the rail and fixed structures by clearance of few inches. The cross section as said above will decide the height of tripper (tripper lift).
Having known the tripper lift, you have to choose the inclination for tripper zone, as allowed for the material being conveyed. You can make the tripper elevation view using the above lift, inclination and allowable concave radius based on the belt tension.
The tripper elevation view as fixed above, is to be supported by suitable number of wheels. The fundamental need of the design is that there should be positive load on all wheels in all situations (if load becomes negative, then tripper becomes unstable). Also, one has to see the variation in wheel load due to deformation of the frame in conjunction with manufacturing and installation tolerance of tripper itself and supporting rails.
The traveling tripper design is a subject demanding certain expertise and experience. If your tripper is of very serious nature (big tripper), you may think of taking technical support, from experienced people, as convenient to you.
In practice, the stockpile height under the tripper conveyor is usually limited to about 20m (60 ft.) for the same reasons as with the shuttle conveyor above; however, the tripper conveyor can theoretically be unlimited in length. The practical limits of travel for the tripper conveyor are determined by economic comparisons with alternative stockpiling systems. Trippers are normally utilized for enclosed storage systems because, although they may be used for outdoor storage, alternative systems such as the traveling stacker are usually less expensive.
