Gentle slip. Pryor, 3
A compound used to improve adhesion or flexibility. Pryor, 3
Short loop of conveyor belt, or articulated steelplate, used to draw ore
at a regulated rate from under a bin or stockpile. Pryor, 3
A method sometimes used to recover diamond particles 1 mm or smaller.
See:friction
That power developed with all auxiliary equipment (such as pump and fans)
attached; it is consequently lower than flywheel horsepower.
Carson, 1
One of the main parts of a belt conveyor. The belting consists of piles of
cotton duck impregnated with rubber, with top and bottom covers of rubber.
The carrying capacity of the belt will vary, depending on the running
speed and the width of the belt. Sinclair, 5
A machine whose forward motion cuts soil with a plowshare or disk and
pushes it to a conveyor belt that elevates it to a dumping point.
Syn:elevating grader
See:conveyor man
The belt of marine deposition extending from the coast (high watermark) to
a depth of about 100 fathoms (183 m); i.e., corresponding roughly with the
continental shelf (in the wide sense, to include the shore); passing into
the mud belt at the inner mud line. Challinor
A device for dewatering mineral slurries, esp. waste from coal washing,
which consists of a moving belt constructed of relatively open cloth. Belt
presses are widely used in the minerals industry.
A device fitted to a belt conveyor to give an alarm or to cause the
conveyor to stop in the event of a defect, such as belt slip, breakage,
tearing, misalignment, or overload. BS, 13
The difference in speed between the driving drum and the belt conveyor.
A table incorporating a belt conveyor so arranged as to provide working
space on one or both sides of the belt.
A device fitted to a belt conveyor that automatically takes up any slack
or stretch in the belting. A gravity takeup device is sometimes fitted
immediately behind the driving unit, thus eliminating slack that would
otherwise occur. The main disadvantage of gravity takeup is that it gives
the belt three entire bends. Nelson
A device or mechanism that causes the conveyor belt to pass around pulleys
for the purpose of discharging material from it.
A conveyor consisting of an endless belt used to transport material from
one place to another.
Belugou imperfection coefficient
In coal testing, a parameter, B, applied to the ash curve: B = (p75 -
p25)/2(p50 - 1), where pX is the specific gravity of particles of which
the fraction separated is X percent, (p75 - p25) is the statistical
intermediate or inquartile range, and p50 is the effective density of
separation in a process in which a dense medium, vertical current, or
jigging action is used. Equation is used to define shape of a Tromp curve.
Pryor, 3
A mineral, Ca1-2 (Ti,Zr,Nb)5 O12 .9H2 O(?) ;
amorphous, yellowish-brown.
A 1% copper sulfate solution recommended as an etchant for revealing
dendritic structures in high-carbon steels. Osborne
a. A light gray or grayish-brown, common manganese mineral, Mn2+
8 Si6 O15 (OH)10 . Kirk
b. An erroneous name for danburite.
