The basic structural and functional element of a belt conveyor is the conveyor belt, which is supported by carrying rollers. Research in this area is important for increasing the service life of mining belt conveyor components. The rollers are subject to various forms of wear. Tribological interactions between the roller, the conveyor belt, and the particles of the transported material or impurities from the environment that enter the tribological system cause various forms of mechanical wear. Abrasion is the pred...

Aggregate is one of the essential components of artificial structures. Aggregate is obtained by mining, as is the case with mineral raw materials. The output of aggregate mining is, in addition to the main product, also a secondary one - sludge. Sludge is an integral part of the wet processing of the most minor aggregate fractions. The amount of sludge in quarries is increasing, while the task of sludge management is to find a purpose for it and thus utilize it. Sludge management methods must consider the most neg...

Transport by mine hoisting equipment is used to remove excavated materials, deliver materials, machinery, and equipment required for the mining process and related activities, as well as transport persons. These technological devices use transport containers to pull the load in the form of a skip, cage, or skip-cage from underground to the surface. Mining machines are intended for vertical and inclined pits. Scientific research discussed in the present article focuses on the transport capacity of the mine hoisting...
