Capabilities of the ICS

The ICS offers a set of powerful capabilities.

The fully enclosed belt conveyor can transport a wide variety of materials, ranging from very fine dust to large particles. Its corrugated construction enables it to form tight radius curves both horizontally and vertically. Additionally, the belt conveyor can be filled to over 90% of its volume, giving it the ability to transport material at high rates relative to the belt size and velocity. When filled correctly, the ICS can transport material up or down steep inclines (up to 80 degrees). The belt also eliminates dust emissions by fully containing the material.

The modular nature of the ICS enables simple, swift extensions, contractions and replacements. For instance, a segment of belt can be replaced in less than 30 minutes without requiring special tools or skills. The modularity also means that the ICS can be assembled and disassembled for relocation, and can be transported on standard sized trucks.

The in-line series of drives distributes the load. This means that an ICS can be extended to a great length without imposing any additional stresses on the belt and other components. These drives can also be replaced relatively easily for maintenance or replacement. The combination of the corrugated belt, the unique suspension system, and the in-line drives means that the ICS can change direction while operating. This means that the feedbin can coordinate with the loading machine and the discharge can move while depositing material, giving it the basic capabilities of a stacker or spreader.

The above are just a selection of capabilities offered by the ICS. Please browse the specific sections and the associated animations for more information.
