 4.0 Technical Specification
1. The tripper shall be designed as per IS: 14386-1996.

2. Travel drive of trippers shall be individual wheel drive, independent of the

main conveyor drive and shall be through electric motor, helical gear box
etc. Chain drive/ open gearing shall not be used. Tripper shall be provided
with A.C Hydraulic thruster brakes for stopping the same at desired
location. Travel speed of trippers shall not exceed 0.5 m/sec.

3. The traveling tripper shall consist of belt scrapper with adjustable rubber
strip, rubber lagged head and bend pulleys complete with shaft bearings,
chutes, stops and limit switches, brakes etc. The tripper shall have two-way
discharge chute or three way chute with flap gate as per application which
shall be capable of discharging material into the bunker openings.

4. Traveling trippers shall be of adequate length with proper slope of

conveyor idlers to match with the flow properties of material being
handled. The maximum inclination of the conveyor belt on the tripper
shall not be more than 14°.
5. Vertical and horizontal guide rollers shall be provided to control sway and
uplift of the belt in unloaded condition. The tripper shall run on standard
flat bottom Indian Rails at least of CR 60. Wheels shall be double flanged
with parallel tread running on anti-friction bearings and shall have min
hardness of 350 BHN. Material of wheel shall be forged steel / cast steel.

6. Traveling trippers shall be equipped with manually operated rail clamps

and rail cleaners and jacking pads.

7. Diverter gates on two way or three way chutes shall be electrically operated.

8. Power supply to the tripper shall be given through motorized cable reeling
drum with trailing cables, cable trays for resting the trailing cables and end
limit switches for protection against over travel of the tripper. The cable
reeling drum and trailing cable of each tripper shall be suitable for the
Page 6
 entire length of the bunker bay. The cables shall have copper conductors,
proper insulating material and braided armoring in accordance with IS:
691.
9. Position indicators shall be provided as per requirement of control logic.
Operating push buttons for local control and emergency stop shall be
within easy reach of the operator on the main conveyor walk way.

10. All stipulation regarding belt pulley, belt scraper, idlers, safety guards,
wind guard, access for maintenance etc. specified for belt conveyors,
diverter gates and discharge chutes shall be applicable for the traveling
tripper.

11. The rating of tripper travel motor shall be adequate to move the tripper
smoothly either in forward or opposite direction to belt direction under
fully loaded conditions. Coefficient of friction shall be taken as maximum
0.15.

12. Minimum two drive axles shall be provided for tripper travel. Arrangement
shall be provided at the starting point of the tripper to avoid folding of
belt.

13. Provision shall be kept for automatic tripping of bunker bay conveyor in
event of travelling tripper getting dragged (.i.e. travel speed in excess of
rated speed).

14. The supporting structures for the rails with necessary end stops shall also
be supplied under this specification. Suitable belt hold down guide pulley
shall be provided over the concave curve of belt over tripper.

15. Suitable bunker sealing arrangement with conveyor belting shall keep the
bunkers sealed and prevent dust emission.

16. Separate openings shall be provided on the bunker floor of each bunker to
measure level of material in the bunker. Hinged door/ flaps shall be
provided on these openings.

17. Suitable gratings are to be provided in between bunkers in the tripper

Page 7
 travel zone. Opening size shall be decided during the detail engineering
stage.
18. Suitable dust cover shall be provided over tripper head pulley. Serrated
rubber seal shall be provided at open side to prevent dust nuisance.
Suitable dust tight access doors shall be provided. Counter weighted type
belt cleaner shall be provided below the tripper head pulley to cleaning the
carrying side of the belt.
19. Suitable access platform of Chequered plate with ladders, hand railings and
walkways on both sides shall be provided for access / maintenance of
equipment on tripper. Also crossover platform shall be provided with
Tripper so that operator can cross the belt through the same. Continuous
deck plates shall be provided below carrying idlers on the tripper.
