"Greener” belt conveying technology
Professor Craig Wheeler’s research is helping to position the University of Newcastle as a global leader in fundamental and applied research within the area of belt conveying technology.
The continuous transportation of bulk materials via belt conveyors is an area of enormous importance to global industries. Almost all bulk materials—such as iron ore, bauxite, coal, limestone and grain—are transported by belt conveyors at some point in their journey to the processing plant, power station or port. However, this transportation process can have significant consequences for the environment, and often consumes enormous amounts of energy.
Professor Craig Wheeler and the bulk solids research team are determined to reduce the energy intensity and environmental impact of overland transportation by developing new theoretical approaches to model and optimise belt conveyor and bulk handling systems.
“Energy efficient transportation of ore and minerals is key to reducing the carbon footprint of the mining and minerals processing sector.
“Reducing the energy intensity of these operations will have significant benefits for society, particularly as the global demand for iron ore, copper, coking coal and rare earth metals continue to increase.”
Craig’s work is undertaken in the University of Newcastle’s Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies (CBSPT) in association with TUNRA Bulk Solids.
Designing eco-friendly solutions
The world’s demand for mineral resources remains strong. Fortunately, many mining companies are now taking steps to minimise the potential negative environmental impacts of their activities and seeking advice from researchers like Craig to design systems that are reliable, cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Craig and his colleagues have designed multiple Australia-first conveying technologies that offer an advanced and fresh approach to conveyor design, superseding the more traditional empirical techniques.
Craig’s profuse research experience, built on the back of a 10-year engineering career with BHP, allows him to practically consider site conditions and produce real-world solutions that work.
“We have seen the establishment of new licenced technologies, new globally recognised testing methods and design guidelines, new Australian Standards, and significant impact through commercialised service offerings through TUNRA Bulk Solids.”
Raising industry standards
One of the team’s most acclaimed achievements is the development of a unique conveyor belt indentation rolling resistance test methodology and facility located at the Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER). The technology has been adopted as an Australian standard and recognised internationally as one of two preferred test methods to measure the energy efficiency of conveyor belting.
“In 2015, this test facility was used to design the world’s longest single flight belt conveyor in South Africa. The conveyor transports coal over 26.7km to Sasol’s Synfuels Plant in Secunda, at a design capacity of 2400 tonne per hour.”
The team has also developed and patented a new, more environmentally friendly overland conveying technology, which is now under a global license agreement. Impressively, the new technology consumes just half the energy of the world’s most efficient belt conveyor—boosting both efficiency and environmental outcomes.
“Technology that consumes less energy has obvious benefits for the environment . It also enables the continuous transportation of bulk materials over much longer distances.”
From research to practice
Another research focus for Craig and the bulk solids team is fugitive dust emission control. Fugitive dust is created during the stockpiling, transfer, loading and transportation of bulk solids, including ore, minerals and grain.
“This work has significantly reduced airborne dust in resource-based industries, particularly around port operations. Dust reductions of up to 90 per cent have been achieved through the direct application of this research.”
The team’s plethora of achievements in reducing dust emissions, as well as enhancing conveyor technology, is even more impressive when considering the considerable time that it can take to move from site trials of the technology, to real-world implementation.
“This process can take many years due to the scale of the equipment, coupled with a relatively risk adverse sector.”
Despite the often lengthen research-to-practice process, Craig and the team always ensure real-world problems drive the direction of their research, allowing evidence to inform better solutions for global industries.
“It is motivating and exciting to know that our team is leading the development of new technologies, new standards and industry best-practice measures to reduce the energy intensity and environmental impact of ore and mineral transportation globally.”

Career Summary
Biography
Professor Wheeler’s research is focused on reducing the energy intensity and environmental impact of ore and mineral transportation globally. His research develops new theoretical approaches to model and optimise belt conveyor and bulk handling systems. This approach is at the forefront of modern plant design and requires highly analytical and computationally intensive techniques, however at all times remains focused on practical solutions to industrial problems.
In 2004 he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in this field for his thesis entitled “Analysis of the Main Resistances of Belt Conveyors”. His doctoral work presented new theoretical models for the prediction of power requirements of belt conveyors and included significant contributions in the numerical modelling of viscoelastic belting material and belt and bulk material interactions. He is responsible for developing several novel experimental techniques for conveyor motion resistance measurement. His work represents a significant and novel departure from the traditional empirical techniques of conveyor design.
Following from his doctoral work, Professor Wheeler has focused his research efforts on the optimisation of belt conveying systems, design of new types of conveying systems for high lift applications and the reduction of dust within conveyor transfer points. He has applied novel numerical optimisation techniques to designing overland belt conveying systems with the view of reducing life cycle costs by optimising the selection of belt speed and width, idler roll spacing and diameter, as well as optimising belt selection and cover properties. More recently, he has applied both continuum and discrete element methods with CFD to passively reduce dust generation within conveyor transfer points.
In his role as Associate Director of TUNRA Bulk Solids he is actively involved in the strategic direction of the research and the major consultancies undertaken by the group. As a result of these close industrial links he currently holds a number of patents. These patents are in relation to minimising dust generation from bulk material loading chutes, new idler roll sensing technology and a novel energy efficient bulk material transportation system named the Rail Conveyor.
Professor Wheeler is the Associate Director of the Centre of Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies, and Deputy Chairman for the Australian Society for Bulk Solid Handling. He is a regular presenter of Professional Development and Master’s courses on belt conveying and feeding both within Australia and overseas. He holds a number of honorary professorial positions at overseas universities.
The quality of Professor Wheeler’s research outputs is best measured by industry’s recognition and application of his work. This is highlighted by many industrial research consultancies including conveyor system design reviews using his analysis methods, and the ongoing use of specifically designed test equipment to measure indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belting, rim drag of idler rolls and conveyor main resistances. The industrial impact is further highlighted by successfully leading Linkage Projects with both local and international companies (Rio Tinto, Veyance Technologies - formerly Goodyear Engineered Products, and Laing O’Rourke) and the significant cash and in-kind contributions these companies have invested in the research projects.
Professor Wheeler has extensive research and industrial consulting experience in the field of belt conveying of bulk solids. This experience was initially gained through his background in heavy industry with BHP Billiton over a period of more than 10 years. His industrial background gives him significant insight into the problems and issues faced by industry. This insight is heavily utilised in his research work and provides an excellent link between fundamental research and its application to industrial problems.

It arises due to an asymmetric pressure distribution as a viscoelastic belt cover is indented by a rigid idler roll. This causes a retarding moment on the idler roll, dependent on the load, speed, idler diameter and the properties of the conveyor belt cover. As pouch conveyor systems become more prevalent in industry, the supporting structure, and thus the indentation rolling resistance of such systems is of importance. These designs typically employ curved belt profiles, or spherical idlers in order to aid belt tracking and closing. From this, a spherical indentation into a generalised Maxwell backing is modelled, and compared with experimental values. In addition to this, the strain dependency across the contact is investigated.

Indentation rolling resistance is dependent on the properties of the conveyor belt, including the carcass and bottom cover as well as properties of the belt conveyor including induced loads, belt speed, ambient temperature and idler roll diameter. A purpose built laboratory test facility is described to measure the indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belts. The test facility is designed to accept both fabric and steel cord belts and test over a range of typical operating parameters and conditions. Results are presented for a range of test parameters, including; load, belt speed, idler roll diameter, ambient temperature and bottom cover compound. Application of the test data to conveyor design is also presented with the aim being to show how the test facility can be used to improve the accuracy of conveyor belt tension calculations by more accurately evaluating the performance of different rubber compounds and belt constructions.

The right understanding of the interaction between bulk material and idler stations is important for the prediction of this resistance and the idler loads. For the calculation of the bulk material behaviour on the belt the classical analytical approach by Krause and Hettler [1] was extended by Wheeler [2] with a Finite Difference model to consider the belt deflection.

The paper will highlight the influence of belt velocity, belt pre-tension and idler distance on the behaviour of the bulk material as well as how this approach can be used to determine the bulk solid flexure resistance.

The viscoelastic properties are applied to two mathematical models used to predict and compare the indentation rolling resistance performance of two rubber compounds. This article demonstrates how inaccuracies in the testing of the viscoelastic properties could result in a material with higher indentation rolling resistance properties being selected for a conveying system, making the power consumption of the system larger than necessary. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The experimental work presented spans a range of particle parameters and hopper geometries. From these results a new theory for the prediction of air entrainment is developed and presented. This new method was developed specifically to facilitate a better understanding in the area of fugitive dust control associated with material handling systems, which are driven by the air entrainment during freefalling. From the work presented in this article, a better prediction capability of freefalling bulk materials in either constrained, or unconstrained systems, will allow for the optimization of either passive or active dust control strategies. This article presents several distinct sections that detail the experimental work used to determine the freefall stream parameters that were conducted to allow the development of the entrainment equations. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

[more] A co-operation among Universities of Newcastle, Australia, and Magdeburg, and Germany, is established to develop and apply the new analysis methods such as Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), for prediction of diffuse dust emission from dust exhaustion plants. The combined analysis of DEM and CFD includes two CFD simulations, the air flow in the bulk material stream and the air flow around the bulk material stream. The boundary conditions for the calculation of the air flow in the enclosure are set. The results of CFD simulations show that the exhausted air does not come from the impact zone of the material stream on the receiving belt conveyor, but from the opening above the incoming conveyor belt. It is also found that the air with the highest dust content can be found on top of the receiving conveyor.

Among the transfer chute configurations investigated in ... [more] Dust emission from belt conveyor transfer chutes is one of the major sources of fugitive dust in material handling plants. Among the transfer chute configurations investigated in authors' previous studies, stilling chambers show benefits in terms of minimizing fugitive dust emissions compared to conventional designs. This study focuses on the optimal design of a stilling chamber using the two-phase three-dimensional Euler-Euler model. Typical design parameters that will be investigated include; the volume of the stilling chamber, the length of the stilling chamber and the pattern of the baffles inside the enclosure. In addition, the application of a self-adjusting flap at the outlet of the chute, both with and without the stilling chamber fitted, is also investigated. The results show that: the stilling chamber reduces likely dust emission from the chute; increasing the height of the stilling chamber does not necessarily reduce dust generation; extending the length of the stilling chamber can reduce likely dust emission, however it is not proportional to the length of the stilling chamber; the location of the baffles within the stilling chamber have a significant impact on likely dust emission; and, the self-adjusting flap has a significant effect on controlling the dust, especially in a chute without a stilling chamber. |

[more] A technique to simulate airflow around transfer chutes that involves linking Discrete Element Method (DEM) commercial package Rocky and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) commercial package ANSYS Fluent is proposed. The flow of particles is first calculated in the DEM domain; after that continuum parameters of this flow (porosity, mean particle size and cell-averaged particles velocities) are calculated and used as input into ANSYS Fluent CFD package for the solution of the airflow. This solution is carried out using a single-phase moving porosity approach with User Defined Functions (UDF) for porosity and particle-based momentum terms in Fluent based on phenomenological interaction laws. The comparison against experimental results for a laboratory-scale transfer chute demonstrates a good match between experimental and computational data. Several turbulence models and particle-gas interaction laws have been tested and it was concluded that for this problem the choice of interaction laws and turbulence models does not affect the results of the simulation to any significant degree.

The primary objective of the study was to reduce dust emissions to within acceptable environmental levels during ship loading. Several constraints were imposed on the solution due to time and budgetary restrictions, and the inability to add a dust suppression agent to the grain for quality reasons. A number of alternative loading chute configurations and delivery spoon profiles were examined in a pilot-scale test facility. This paper will discuss a number of alternative solutions which were investigated during the course of the study and the critical parameters of the final design. Tests showed that it was not beneficial to decelerate the product stream to keep the relative velocity of the air stream over the grain below the minimum pickup velocity. Instead, it was found that concentrating the product stream and keeping the product velocity high was more beneficial in reducing dust emissions. A reduction of 50% in dust emission was achieved through the use of specifically designed constant radius and parabolic profile loading spoons. The product stream exiting the curved spoons was found to be concentrated and stream-lined, resulting in the dust being contained within the product stream.
