Overland conveyors for moving sand and gravel, aggregate, rock, dirt, and overburden are essential for decreasing spills, noise, and dust levels. An above-ground conveyor can help your operation reduce costs while increasing productivity. Using a large fleet of trucks to move materials over land is expensive and more labor intensive.
BMWC has provided economic studies for customers to analyze transportation cost between trucks vs. overland conveyors to transport material within the mine site. BMWC has worked with mining customers to integrate specialty processing equipment into the material handling system. This includes crushing and screening stations, blending …
A new rail-based conveyor system has been developed to reduce the energy consumption of heavily loaded and long overland conveyors. The new technology is aptly named the Rail Conveyor due to its combination of two well-established transportation technologies.

Overland Conveyors. The ideal way to transport bulk goods and raw materials after extraction to a factory is on a belt conveyor where they are transported before being processed further. This form of conveyor technology moves rock and ores through mountains and valleys over many kilometres. The properties of the material to be …
While haul trucks can bring flexibility to transport applications, the short and long-term economic implications are causing operators to seek alternatives. In many cases, engineered overland conveyors (sometimes called "groundline") are the most cost-effective method of transporting bulk material to processing plants or loading facilities.
Using an overland conveyor reduces fuel costs for truck transport by loading and unloading material from the conveyor. Conveyors come in many sizes. They can be modified to be longer or shorter, depending on your needs. A conveyor could be as short as 15 feet or longer than 1,000 feet—it all depends on the scope of your project.
