New world record for Phoenix Conveyor Belt Systems Phoenix supplies the longest conveyor belt on earth for the transport of crushed limestone from India to Bangladesh.

PHOENIX Conveyor Belt Systems GmbH of Hamburg, Germany and PHOENIX
Yule Limited of Kalyani, India have been awarded a multi million dollar contract for the supply of 35 km of Phoenocord steel cord conveyor belts for the Lafarge Surma Project in India/Bangladesh.

It is a single flight operation without booster drives incorporating the longest conveyor belt on earth. This extremely long conveyor belt, type 800 / St 2500 - 6/6 X, will carry up to 960 tons of crushed limestone per hour from the mine site in Meghalaya/India to the cement plant in Chattak/Bangladesh. The cement plant will produce 1,2 million t/a.

The 17 km conveyor track runs for about 7 km across hilly terrain, to the international border of India, and then another 10 km in the farthest northern part of Bangladesh. The belt runs elevated at a height of between 5 to 15 m. The conveyor belts will be shipped on 89 reels, which are up to 4,4 m long and 3,4 m high, containing up to 500
m of conveyor belt each.

The conveyor belts will be spliced at two stations, one each in India and Bangladesh, under the supervision of Phoenix engineers later this year.
