*    The design objectives of the WEarBAck transfer include:
–         Controlling the direction and speed of product flow
       •        Central discharge loading on receiving conveyor
       •        Loading in direction of conveyor travel
       •        Retardation or control of flow
              –         matching material speed to receiving conveyor speed
–         Control of stream shape
–         Control of spillage
–         Control of dust
–         Reduction of product degradation
       •        Minimising material on material wear and material on chute wear
–         Provision of surge control
–         Long intervals between maintenance periods
–         Easy access for inspections and maintenance

*    The WEarBAck design controls flow direction, speed, stream shape and spillage by:
–         Obtaining control of the material flow from the initial impact
–         Maintaining contact with the chute surface where possible to maintain a constant velocity (boundary layer effect)
–         Using incremental and subtle directional changes
–         Using a horseshoe/V cross sectional shape to concentrate the ore stream into a single continuous flow
–         Using a horseshoe/V cross sectional shape and ledge system to create a virtual tube for manipulating ore flow (just like the water in a water slide)
–         Using the appropriate chute elevation angle to match the velocity of the ore to the speed of the receiving conveyor to eliminate boiling at impact
–         Using a wedge shape discharge to:
       •        Allow smaller material to load on to the receiving conveyor first
       •        Centralise ore flow
       •        Provide an upward taper to prevent ore entrapment between chute and belt

*    The WEarBAck design controls dust, capacity surges and reduces product degradation by:
–         Keeping the ore in contact with the chute surface as much as possible
–         Concentrating the ore stream
–         Keeping impact angles as small as practical
–         Keeping the velocity of the ore as constant as possible
–         Matching the direction and velocity of the ore to the speed of the receiving conveyor
–         Using the ore to create a face to absorb the initial impact
–         Providing enough volumetric capacity in the transfer to cope with conveyor over runs and ore surges together with:
       •        A wedge shape discharge for ease of chute clearance during plant restarts

*    The WEarBAck design provides long intervals between maintenance periods and easy access for inspections and maintenance by:
–         Using a ledge system to trap ore thus creating a material on material face that protects the chute wall
–         Using removable panels on chute sections where practical to provide uninterrupted access for maintenance
–         Providing “soft” loading to the receiving conveyor thus reducing belt and idler maintenance
–         Installing inspection doors in as many areas as practical for visual periodic maintenance.
–         Using light weight and relatively inexpensive ledges in lieu of large difficult to handle iron or steel lining systems

*    The design objectives of the WAMskirt conveyor skirting system include:
–         Eliminating confined space entry during skirting maintenance
–         Reducing the number and frequency of manual handling injuries associated with skirting system maintenance
–         Control of spillage
–         Control of dust
–         Ability to retrofit into existing conveyor transfer points
–         Long intervals between maintenance periods
–         Easy access for inspections and maintenance

*    The WAMskirt design eliminates confined space during maintenance and reduces the risk of manual handling by:
–         Making every second liner removable
–         Providing easy and plentiful access to each liner attached to the fixed section of the system
–         Keeping the regularly maintained components below 20kg
–         Using a simple tab and wedge locking system in lieu of bolting (except liners)

*    The WAMskirt design controls spillage and dust by:
–         Utilising a tapered face on the lower liner to train the ore away from the skirting and back into the centre of the belt
–         Utilising an easy to install and adjust 60 Duro rubber primary seal to stop dust flow from the lower half of the system
–         Utilising a urethane secondary dust seal to capture any particles from the upper half of the system
–         Having an easy to adjust liner system ensuring the liner to belt gap is regularly maintained

*    The WAMskirt design provides long intervals between maintenance periods and easy access for inspection by:
–         Providing additional wear material where needed via the thicker tapered face of the lower liner
–         Making every second liner removable for quick and easy access during periodic inspections
–         Having an easy to inspect liner system which ensures liners are regularly maintained thus reducing unscheduled maintenance events

*    Because of its narrow installation height (290mm), the WAMskirt design has the ability to retrofit into most skirting environments
