O U R G O A L : The Overland Conveyor must perform at an effective rate to allow for maximised output of materials. Currently feed is allowed on the belt when the conveyor speed is above 90%. By reducing this limit and allowing the feeders to start feeding earlier, there will be an increase in feeding time and therefore an increase in output of the conveyor system U N L O C K E D P O T E N T I A L : Key implemented a solution that meant the same volume would still be fed onto the belt despite the speed the conveyor would run at. Results would come with a benefit of 200 000 tonnes of ore per year and further works are being considered to reduce the limit to 20-25% as results have proven effective and successful. O U R S O L U T I O N : Upon analysis, it was found that it was taking 8
