Questions and Answers

What is the main advantage of using standard conveyor hardware in the HAC system?

  • Interchangeability of components and fast replacement of parts (correct)
  • Low maintenance costs
  • High conveying speeds
  • Ability to achieve lifts beyond 1000 ft.

How do standard components in the HAC facilitate high conveying speeds?

  • By ensuring interchangeability and fast replacement of parts (correct)
  • By allowing the use of steel cord or aramid fiber belts
  • By enabling lifts beyond 1000 ft.
  • By making belts and hardware available in sizes up to 120 inches wide

What feature allows continuous cleaning by belt scrapers or plows on the conveyor belts?

  • High conveying speeds
  • Lifts beyond 1000 ft.
  • Standard, smooth surface belts (correct)
  • Ability to achieve capacities greater than 15,000 tons per hour
