System Configurations

Depending on performance requirements Rail-Veyor can be designed in

a number of variations which generally involve one of the below basic

configurations

10

Loading

Loading of Rail-Veyor can be with a

variety of methods from a simple

overhead hopper/chute, a pan feeder

or a discharge conveyor.

Loading rate and train speed can be

matched to optimize material flow.

11

Rail Cars

New designed lighter weight structural

cars are now available which allow for

increased loading and greater

efficiency

Rail-Veyor Facts & General Guidelines

19

Material Size:Handles material up to 28” minus

Annual Tonnages:R/V SS …. Std. System: More than 1M TPAR/V LS …. Light System: 500k – 1M TPAR/V XL …. XL System: Cars with higher sides providing increased car capacity beyond std is needed to achieve higher TPH rates

Haulage Distance: Generally more than 1 km (3300ft.) is preferedLonger distances (beyond 10 km, 6 miles) based generally on availability of power distribution system

Curve and Grade ability:100 foot (30 meter) radius min Horizontally100 foot (30 meter) radius min VerticallyR-V can run on grades up to 22%. No vibration to cause rollback.

Maximum Train lengthTechnically there is no limit but it is usually determined by system layout (loops, sidings), and loading

20

Loading Rate:Recommended speed 1.5m/sec (5 ft/sec, 3.35 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 3,100 tons (2,800 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 6,000 tons (5,500 tonnes) per hour

Tramming Rate:Recommend speed 6.0/sec (20 ft/sec, 13.4 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 12,400 tons (11,200 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 24,000 tons (22,000 tonnes) per hour

Dumping Rate:Recommended speed 3 m/sec (10 ft/sec, 6.7 MPH)R/V SS … Up to 6,200 tons (5,600 tonnes) per hourR/V XL … Up to 12,000 tons (11,000 tonnes) per hour

Easy Portability ( Relocate / Extend):Ability to install or relocate a drive station in one 8-10 hour shift

Rail-Veyor has a simple light footprint:Only 8 PSI load with small level roadway needed with 4-6” gravel base 6 ft wide (just track), 15 ft wide (at drive station)

Eliminate These Risks!Health & Safety Benefits• Operates remotely with no on-board

operators and offers a much safer system with little human interaction or need for sophisticated communication systems

• Provides a healthier environment with a clean solution unlike trucks emitting fumes, Diesel Particulate Matter DPM, or high volumes of noise and dust

• Eliminates vehicle collisions & accident risks

23

25

26

• Low Cost Ease of Maintenance…• Requires once a week “walk around” visual

inspections

• Very few if any adjustments required

• No mid life overhauls• Hub/Wheel bearings and clevis car connections

designed to go 20 year life

• Motors and gear boxes are proven industrial

products designed for much heavier service

• Components designed for easy change out

…. Results in little down time
