Integrated Multi-Terrain Conveying Systems (Long-Distance, Large Elevation Difference, Multi-Obstacle Crossing)

Mining areas or large industrial sites often face complex topographies requiring crossings over roads, railways, rivers, valleys, or residential areas. Conveyor lines encounter steep slopes (>18°), sharp turns, or tunnel construction limitations. Traditional conveying solutions rely on multi-stage transfers, leading to surging energy consumption, material loss, and high maintenance costs.

Our approach is not merely stacking equipment but a highly synergistic system configuration. It precisely matches equipment to specific terrain challenges and achieves seamless connectivity through unified intelligent control. A typical three-stage strategy includes:

Core Equipment Integration & Functional Synergy

Long Distance Belt Conveyor

Long Distance Belt Conveyor pre-designed connection points with tubular conveyors ensure smooth material flow transition. Its powerful climbing capability overcomes primary elevation differences, reducing overall line length.

  • Acts as the system’s "main artery" for long-distance, high-elevation bulk material transport.
  • Utilizes CEMA-certified high-strength steel cord belts and low-resistance idler systems, with single-machine length reaching 15km and climbing angles up to 28°, significantly reducing transfer stations.

Tubular Belt Conveyor

Seamlessly installed between straight sections of overland conveyors or at endpoints, addressing complex nodes (sharp turns, full-seal requirements) beyond conventional equipment capabilities. Its turning flexibility greatly enhances overall route layout adaptability, avoiding unnecessary tunnels or foundation modifications.

  • Activates at sections requiring tight turns (110°) to bypass obstacles (e.g., roads, railways, buildings) or traverse ecologically sensitive/residential areas.
  • Patented hexagonal idler group sealing structure enables fully enclosed conveying, eliminating dust dispersion while complying with ISO 14001 standards.

Integration Advantages

  • Constructs nearly transfer-station-free continuous lines via flexible combinations like "Overland (main) → Tubular (obstacle bypass/sealing) → Overland (main)". Eliminates material degradation, spillage, and secondary dust at transfer points, substantially reducing CAPEX and long-term OPEX.
  • Overland conveyors resolve most elevation and distance challenges, while tubular units address specific turning and environmental constraints. Combined use maximizes system climbing, turning, and crossing capabilities, drastically cutting civil works (e.g., blasting, bridging, tunneling) and environmental disruption—especially suited for extremely rugged terrains or environmentally sensitive projects.
  • Unified intelligent control systems (integrating tension, misalignment, temperature monitoring) ensure stable, uniform, and continuous material flow across mixed systems under all conditions, whether traversing valley inclines or bypassing buildings.

Equipment Features

Supported by 60+ test parameters from in-house laboratories (chemical/hardness/mechanical).

Dynamic Tension Modeling & Analysis

Precisely simulates belt tension distribution across integrated systems under varying conditions (start-stop, full/partial loads) and terrains (ascent/descent/turns). Ensures core components (belt, joints, idlers, drums) operate at optimal loads, preventing premature failure due to localized stress concentration.

Terrain-Adaptive Intelligent Drive & Tensioning

Integrates variable frequency drive (VFD) technology and intelligent alignment systems. VFD dynamically adjusts power output based on line load (especially on inclines) and speed requirements for energy optimization. Intelligent alignment auto-adjusts idler angles according to terrain variations, preventing misalignment-induced wear at turns. Terrain-adaptive tensioners automatically compensate for belt length changes caused by temperature fluctuations or load variations—particularly in high-elevation/long-distance systems—maintaining constant tension to ensure drive efficiency. This reduces operational energy consumption by 30% and extends core component service life to over 50,000 hours.



High-Density Port Solutions (Flexible Mobility, High-Throughput Ship Loading)

International terminals face space constraints while needing to service diverse vessels from barges to Capesize ships. Traditional fixed shiploaders suffer three critical pain points:

  1. Space Inflexibility: Tracks occupy 30%-40% of effective yard area with costly expansion requirements.
  2. Poor Adaptability: Unable to flexibly service non-fixed berths or handle tidal variations (>5m) in narrow/older ports.
  3. Efficiency Bottleneck: Limited coverage per machine necessitates multi-unit coordination, causing operational delays.

Zoomry Dynamic Synergy Handling System

Replaces fixed infrastructure with "mobile equipment free combination + intelligent central dispatch," achieving "zero-waste" space utilization and "non-stop" operations:

Mobile Ship Loader as "Precision Loading Hub":

  • Dual-mode chassis (wheeled quick transfer/crawler micro-positioning) breaks track limitations, switching berths within 5 minutes. Hydraulic lifting dynamically compensates for tide differences (4-16m clearance adjustment). ZRSL series mobile ship loader ultra-wide rotation radius ensures precise cargo hold coverage in narrow berths.
  • Radial telescopic boom (20m reach) + laser hold scanning: Generates real-time 3D hold models to auto-adjust material drop points, eliminating uneven loading. Single-machine efficiency reaches 3,000 TPH.

ZR-SF Crawler Stacker as "Dynamic Buffer Hub":

  • Bidirectional data link with shiploader: Pre-stacks materials by type/tonnage (stacking height ≥12m) upon receiving vessel schedules, using PLC algorithms to optimize stacking patterns and minimize segregation.
  • Crawler chassis + radial telescopic boom (22m): Moves along virtual tracks to deliver materials in real-time based on loading demands, increasing yard capacity utilization by 28% and replacing fixed transfer silos entirely.

Multi-layer Active Protection:

  • Hydraulic winch dual-redundant limiters + real-time rope tension monitoring (auto-locking before breakage).
  • Strong wind (≥15m/s) auto-lock + excessive tilt angle alarm.
  • CE/EAC/KC certified safety architecture compliant with ISO 13849 PLd.

Note: ZRSL-60 standard with tidal-adapt module for extreme ports (>8m tidal range, e.g., North American west coast)



Multi-Material Handling Hub (Mixed Material Transfer, Rapid Mode Switching)

Large hubs must simultaneously handle bulk materials with stark differences—ores (high-abrasiveness), coal (dust-prone), cement clinker (high-temperature adhesion). Traditional solutions exhibit concentrated weaknesses:

  • Compatibility Rigidity: Single equipment cannot adapt to varied material properties (e.g., >300mm ores vs. powdered cement), requiring frequent part replacements causing downtime.
  • Cross-Contamination Risk: Multiple transfer points lead to residual material polluting batches.
  • Inefficient Switching: Cleaning + reconfiguration exceeds 4 hours, slashing hub throughput by 40%.

Zoomry Modular Smart Hub System

Employs a "front-end intelligent sorting + dynamic backend storage" architecture enabling parallel multi-material processing and sub-10-minute mode switching:

Crawler Truck Unloader (ZRLD-TU1800)

  • Three-Stage Adaptive Guidance:
    • Adjustable grizzly (50-300mm electric aperture control) pre-screens oversized material.
    • Dual-channel vibrating hopper (wear-resistant liner + anti-stick coating) separates wet/sticky material.
    • Material identification sensors (laser particle analysis + moisture detection) real-time sorting.
    • Direct hydraulic lifting: 6.3m unloading height→direct feeding to downstream conveyors eliminating secondary transfer residue. Dual parallel channels enable 1,800 TPH unloading efficiency for 100t truck fleets.

Radial Telescopic Stacker (ZR160SF)

  • PLC system auto-plans stacking coordinates/height/slope based on material properties (abrasion/angle of repose), eliminating segregation.
  • Millisecond-Speed Switching Modules:
    • Scraper quick-change system (PU blades/wire brushes/polyurethane elastomers) adapts to material adhesion traits.
    • Hydraulic arm (10-22m extension + ±90° rotation) achieves seamless coverage over fan-shaped stacking areas, switching tasks via remote commands.
