The Komdok Mining Complex has remodelled the large long-distance conveyor belt to provide a guarantee for boosting the productivity.

Last year the complex laid a solid foundation for increased mineral production by establishing a new flow-line haulage system of high economic value in pits thousands of feet deep, true to the Workers’ Party of Korea’s strategy of readjustment and reinforcement. This year it has successfully completed the remodelling of the large long-distance conveyor belt stretching for dozens of kilometres from pits to the dressing plant at high altitude.

In recent years, the complex replaced the compressed air pipes, drainpipes and power cables in deep pits and installed more equipment including pumps and compressors before pushing ahead with the readjustment and reinforcement of the ore transport system.

The General Bureau of the Tanchon Area Mining Industry solved in time the problems arising in the readjustment and reinforcement of the complex.

The workers of the repair branch factory, equipment assembly workshop, Ore-dressing Plant No. 3 and conveyor station made devoted efforts regardless of shifts as they had to replace the belts in a three-dimensional way while ensuring the current production.

Thus the large long-distance conveyor belt of the complex has changed in appearance followed by a great change in the ore transport.

The sharp reduction of the route for transporting ore by electric car in deep pits and the remodelled large long-distance conveyor belt stretching to the dressing plant have decreased the cost for the transport of ore by a third as compared to previously.
