A tecnologia do transportador de correias de longa distância (TCLD) como estratégia do sistema de transporte numa mineradora em Minas Gerais

Abstract

This paper describes the benefits generated by the implementation of Long Distance Conveyor Belt Technology (TCLD)as a strategy of the transport system in mining company in Minas Gerais; it discusses the vision of integrated logistics enterprise; customers service in light of business logistics activity; the transport logistics enterprises; strategic modals in the transport of iron ores; the Long Distance Conveyor Belt (TCLD)technology. Characterized as a descriptive research, according to the objectives, in line with a case study, the data sources, with a qualitative approach, this paper presents the main conclusion: the main advantage of the TCLD is the material handling at long distance, with high capacity in materials continuous transport, low cost of operation, because it doesnt depend of direct interface with the human being, except for maintenance, it works 24 hours as production volume projected for shipment (PCP -Planning and Production Control) and the TCLD is important for the environment because it prevents the dispersion of particulate material in the environment, also known as dust. If there was no TCLD, the transportation of products from one yard to another should be done by trucked trucks, which increases the level of dust, opens larger precedent for work accidents, because it involves passing manpower with heavy vehicles at the mine and high fleet maintenance. cost.
