TL;DRAbstract

Conveyor belt haulage has become the preferred mainline transport method in underground coal mining, especially for multi-unit mines. Proper designs for belts (width and speed) and surge bins (placement, capacity, and discharge rate) are necessary to achieve efficient mine haulage. Two computer simulation models, CMBCS and BELTSIM, available for designing these parameters are compared. These comparisons include modeling, input data requirements, statistical flexibility, accuracy of simulated loading, and execution time.
