Conveyor Transfer Tower Discharge End Section

Belt Conveyors are used to move bulk materials such as sand, gravel, coal, rock, etc from one point to another, in some cases over very long distances from mine pits to processing locations. After the material has been processed, its either loaded into trucks or rail cars or stockpiled in large piles. Bulk material storage piles will often times have reclaim tunnels running under them where material can flow into the tunnels and be loaded via another belt conveyor for transport. When multiple stockpiles are needed, a Tripper Car Conveyor will be used, and over the span of one single conveyor there may be multiple stockpiles to achieve maximum storage without the need for multiple conveyors. Tripper Cars run the length of the conveyor on rails and can offload material from the belt conveyor into multiple different stockpiles. When combining belt conveyors, tripper car conveyors, transfer towers, and conveyor supports, you can easily add multiple stock piles to your processing centers on your layout. 

Transfer Towers are used when two conveyors meet or when the conveyor needs to make a sharp turn. Use this model for the top platform of my Transfer Tower model. This model will line up with the hopper/drop chute and the catwalk will end right at the platform edge. Models are set up for a 15 degree conveyor incline, you will need approx. 30" of conveyor space to lead up to the top of the tower. 

You will also need to add the belt (using fine sandpaper or black electrical tape) and a see through mesh deck material to complete the catwalk deck.
