The fire hazard of neoprene, polyvinyl chloride, and rubber conveyor belts was studied at the Federal Bureau of Mines Experimental Coal Mine. The effects of intensity of ignition source, velocity of the ventilating air, and type of belt were investigated at three levels in small-scale gallery experiments. Studies were made in the mine on the ...

Float coal dust is a serious explosion hazard if it accumulates on top of the rock dust and is not mixed thoroughly with the rock dust. An example of this is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1.—Cross-section of a very thin (0.01-inch) explosible float coal dust layer deposited on top of a 3/4-inch (20-mm) thick layer of rock dust.

A chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system for moving material through production lines. 1.6.1 Operation Chain conveyors use an endless chain both to transmit power and to propel material through a trough, either pushed directly by the chain or by attachments to the chain. The chain runs over sprockets at either end of the trough. Chain ...

Abstract. Describes four cases of belt conveyor fires in Polish black coal mines. The fires are analyzed and their causes are pointed out. The fire in the Marcel mine was caused by an idler during shift change. The fire in the Thorez mine (Dec 1986) was caused by uncontrolled use of a conveyor in a haulage gallery that became partially …

UNDERGROUND SAFETY. Conveyor belts represent a high risk, because they have the ability to spread a fire over long distances. Fires on belt conveyors are mostly ignited by mechanical failures like frozen idlers, which is even more dangerous in combination with coal dust. The fire safety requirements are similar for the most hard coal mining ...
