Abstracts: Belt conveyors are critical elements in any bulk material-handling operation. However, they can also be dangerous, particularly when employees assigned with operating and maintaining them are poorly trained as to their potential hazards. In coal handling plant, installed at INTAS PHARMA, the coal spillage problem found right after the installation of belt conveyor of the coal handling unit. This spillage is not desirable in the belt conveyor as it causes difficulty in handling of coal and also loss of the material. Also the floor becomes dusty and there are chances of accidents due to falling of coal from height. In this report, we have shown the method of elimination of this coal spillage for that particular inclined belt conveyor.
