The total length of the belt circuit is approximately 13,000m. The conveyors have a capacity of 12,000tph, a belt width of 1,600mm and 1,800mm and speeds of 4.5 and 4.8m/s. It is also important to mention that the transport system will come equipped with all the auxiliary equipment, including transfer towers, silos, bypass chutes, monitoring equipment, magnetic separators, weighing systems, etc.
The four stacker-reclaimers will be responsible for the storage and stacking of iron ore into the stockyard. The machines have a stacking capacity of 10,000tph and a reclaim capacity of 12,000tph. Each machine is supplied with its own rail track. Some of the outstanding features of the machinery include the length of the boom, which is 60m long, and the 12m span between rails.
