Tripper Car Belt Conveyor 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. 

Model of a Belt Conveyor End section with 39" belt width. Model has Catwalks on both sides, however this is an end section and the catwalk is closed off/ends on one side. Catwalks on both sides to allow maintenance to Tripper Car. Tripper Car does not offload material on this end section, nor does any material exit off the end of the conveyor in this section. All material is offloaded before it gets to this section via the Tripper Car. Conveyor has Tripper Car rail supports on either side. You will need to supply your own code 70 or code 55 rail and glue in place on supports. Tripper Car model available, see my other models.

Expand by adding multiple models to make a longer conveyor. Add the head and 60' sections to complete the belt conveyor model along with tripper car. Conveyor Supports and Transfer Towers also available. 

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

For the deck, I suggest using Plano Models Apex Slotted Pattern Material available here: http://www.planomodelproducts.com/scratch_scq.html
For the Railings, I would suggest using Mike Rose  brass pipe railings available here: http://www.mrhobby.com/store.php/MikeRoseHobbies/pg6896/etched_brass_
