The contribution deals with pipe conveyors, which currently provide great environmental and economic benefits. Construction of the pipe conveyor is developed from standard belt conveyors with one major distinction, which is forming of the conveyor belt into the pipe. Wrapping the belt into the pipe form prevent leakage of material under the conveyor path and contamination of the surroundings. Among the main advantages belongs, in addition to the environmental impact, the option to transport material in both belt s...

Mining rail transport is one of the main transport systems within intra-plant logistics of mining enterprises. Its main task is the transportation of raw materials from mining sites for further processing. For efficient operation it is necessary to apply planning and optimization tools. Within the optimization processes as a one of the key tools in engineering practice appears to be a computer simulation method. For proper applying it is, however, necessary to handle modelling of some particularities which are rel...
