Grasshopper Conveyor

Grasshopper conveyors, also known as transfer conveyors, are a specialized type of conveyor primarily used for efficiently transporting bulk materials over long distances. Their flexible design allows them to operate in various terrains and environments, making them particularly suitable for uneven or steep landscapes. By eliminating reliance on traditional loaders, trucks, fuel, and labor, grasshopper conveyors enable producers to transfer materials more efficiently from one location to another. This flexibility in site layout optimizes stockpiling and storage space, reduces labor costs and production time, and finds widespread application in quarries, mining, logistics, ports, inland terminals, power stations, and other industries. Using grasshopper conveyors is often the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of material handling.

 ■ Applications of Grasshopper Conveyors

  ● Mining Industry: Grasshopper conveyors are widely used for transporting ore, efficiently working in uneven terrain to directly transfer materials from extraction sites to processing plants.

  ● Construction and Civil Engineering: At construction sites, grasshopper conveyors can efficiently transport concrete, sand, and gravel, reducing manual handling and enhancing construction efficiency.

  ● Logistics and Ports: In ports and inland terminals, grasshopper conveyors facilitate the efficient transfer of materials from truck unloaders and hopper feeders to ship loaders.

  ● Recycling and Waste Management: In the recycling industry, grasshopper conveyors efficiently transfer recyclable materials to processing facilities, minimizing material loss.

 ■ Advantages of Grasshopper Conveyors

  ● Adjustable Discharge Height: The discharge height can be adjusted to meet various operational requirements, accommodating different equipment and working environments.

  ● Reduced Loader Movement: By optimizing material transfer processes, the frequency of loader movements is significantly decreased, leading to lower operational costs.

  ● Flexible Layout: The design allows for multi-directional stacking, enabling efficient operations in limited spaces.

  ● Easy Storage: The modular design allows for easy storage when not in use, saving space.

  ● Customizable Options: Conveyors can be tailored to meet specific customer needs in terms of specifications and functionalities.

 ■ Features of Grasshopper Conveyors

Grasshopper conveyors typically consist of field-bolted prefabricated truss sections, ensuring stability and durability across different environments. One end is elevated by struts from an axle equipped with tires, facilitating flexible movement on slopes and uneven terrain. Additionally, the equipment is usually moved by large forklifts or front-end loaders, enhancing efficiency in material transfer at construction sites and mining operations.
