Recognized as the most efficient method of moving mined material from the mine face for specific applications, the JOY Continuous Chain Haulage System (CHS) provides significant improvements in the areas of durability and reliability.
The JOY continuous chain haulage system consists of four basic units: a breaker car module (BCM), conveyor bridge module (CBM), mobile bridge module (MBM) and ridgid haulage system (RHS). The system configuration and number of these units depends on individual mine application and production requirements.
Incorporating Stamler's proven design and construction techniques over competitive systems, the JOY continuous chain haulage system is the most rugged continuous haulage system available and features quality components for the highest level of reliability. New maneuverability and mechanical improvements provide increased production across all applications.
New design features focus on increased reliability and durability through robust engineering and heavy duty components. The latest industry leading features include bolt-on wear strips on crawler frames and tram gear boxes, chromium carbide overlay conveyor decks, heavy-duty crawler chains along with ten tooth through hardened conveyor sprockets and heavy rated conveyor chains to name a few.
JOY chain haulage systems feature high capacity throughput breaker designs. With 36” (91.44 cm)conveyor widths and 350 feet per minute (106 metre) chain speeds, this proven system carries a 17 to 35 ton per minute (15.4 to 31.8tonne) throughput rating. Tram speeds are rated at 65 and 85 feet per minute (19.8 and 25.9 metres) to support advancements.
