The limestone will feed Cementos Progreso’s new cement plant, which is due to begin operations in the first half of this year. From the start of the operations, the RopeCon will transport 2100 tph of material.
The RopeCon system requires only four tower structures, limiting the space required on the ground. RopeCon was developed and designed by Austrian ropeway manufacturer, Doppelmayr, and combines the features of a belt conveyor with those of a ropeway.
The technology is currently used to transport a variety of materials in different applications around the world.
