Avoid Accumulation of Concentrate in Belt Drive System

Technological solutions are being sought to minimize or avoid the accumulation of copper concentrate in the CV5500 belt's mechanical drive system, which is made up of a drive system and a chain of links that passes through a set of sprockets (sprockets) ( see photos below). The moisture content of the concentrate at this point is 9.3%.

Preferably, solutions are sought that allow to protect, coat or avoid the adherence of concentrate in the translation system.

The solutions must allow a minimum presence of personnel in the field to avoid their exposure to accident risks. In addition, they must have a TRL maturity level> = 5, that is, at least at a prototype level validated in a complex or relevant environment.
