Abstract: The instant invention relates to a steep conveying installation for arranging on a slope of an open-cast mining glory hole, by means of which raw materials can be transported from a lower height level, in particular from a mining floor of the open-cast mine, to an upper height level, in particular formed by a soil, encompassing a line arranged on the slope. According to the invention, provision is made for a first conveying basket and for a second conveying basket, which conveying baskets can be displaced on the line between the lower height level and the upper height level and are embodied to receive the raw materials, wherein the conveying baskets are in contact with one another via at least one common traction means.

Abstract: A drive and guide arrangement for an endless conveyor includes a plurality of transport members, at least one drive wheel, and at least one chain of rubber links forming a traction member having respective end regions. The chain is reversible around the drive wheel at at least one of the end regions. The chain includes steel cable traction supports arranged within the rubber links. A first side of the chain faces the transport members and is formed with a plurality of block teeth. At least two of the block teeth have bores formed therethrough separated from one another by a predetermined distance. A second side of the chain opposite to the first side is formed with a plurality of drive teeth for engaging with the drive wheel. A guide is provided having a receiving profile and located adjacent to the chain. A plurality of connecting-and-guide members join the chain to the transport members.
