Should the Truss Support of Retrofit Pipe Belt Machine Borrow the Existing Buildings

Through the above multiple case studies to summarize two points:

1. If the force of the existing building structure allows, it can be borrowed as much as possible. This has two main advantages: one is to save space, especially for plant renovation projects; The second is to save the investment cost of civil construction foundations and equipment.

2. Under the condition that the existing buildings cannot be borrowed, the new foundation of the pipe belt conveyor should avoid the existing building foundation as much as possible to ensure that the two foundations do not interfere, so that the force will not be affected.

Other experience summary:

1. For the long-distance pipe belt conveyor of more than 1km, the transfer station that can be borrowed in the middle can be used as the upper and lower passage;

2. For places close to the house and buildings, the center of the support column foot of the pipe belt conveyor shall be at least 1.5m away from the edge of the wall of the house and buildings. When it can be taken, it shall be as large as possible, because it is better not to interfere with the foundation-bearing platform of the house and the foundation-bearing platform of the pipe belt conveyor.

3. Close to the belt gallery bracket and pipe bracket, the distance between the center of the support column foot of the pipe belt conveyor and the center of the original bracket is at least 1m, which can be as large as possible.

4. If it is impossible to avoid being close to the design foundation such as buildings, special treatment is required during the foundation design.
