Abstract: A conveyor system for conveying material may include a conveyor belt, a feeding mechanism for feeding materials to be conveyed onto the conveyor belt, and a belt system in which the conveyor belt is guided. The belt system may include a first belt-shaping device with which the conveyor belt can be shaped into a U shape. Thus the material to be conveyed may be brought from a substantially flat shape into the U shape. A second belt-shaping device of the belt system may shape the conveyor belt downstream of the feeding mechanism in the conveying direction to form a closed tube. The feeding mechanism may include a catching region configured such that material to be conveyed accumulates therein and forms an impact surface onto which the material to be conveyed can be fed.

Abstract: A conveying installation that is positionable over an oblique slope of an opencast mine pit may be used to convey raw materials from a lower height level on an extraction level of the opencast mine to an upper height level at a ground level adjacent to the opencast mine pit. At least one conveying container can be loaded with raw materials at the lower height level and unloaded at the upper height level. At least one bearing cable for load-bearing and control and one traction cable for moving the conveying container may be provided. At least at the upper height level, a support element may be disposed, to which the bearing cable is attached and on which the traction cable is guided.
