In its endeavour to continually improve technology and drive productivity, Tata Steel has installed a state-of-the-art Long Pipe Conveyor (LPC) at its opencast coal mines at West Bokaro Division.
The facility was virtually inaugurated today by T. V. Narendran, CEO & MD, Tata Steel. Several Company officials, including Vice Presidents, joined the inaugural ceremony.
Congratulating the entire team for a well-executed project, T. V. Narendran, CEO & MD, Tata Steel, said, “Implementation of best-in-class technologies and sustainable practices are critical success factors for mining operations. The Long Pipe Conveyor would improve the productivity and help in reducing the environmental footprint in coal logistics, significantly.
The single unit can handle both coal and by-product grades and can carry 1200 tonnes per hour, making it much cheaper and safe than road transport. It also ensures no degradation of material along the way.
