Skip Hoists

Skip for Aggregates Loading, with two drums operated by the same shaft, anti free-fall device under the skip, normal speed of 15 mt/min (double speed is available as an extra), set of three limit switches for the normal operation (Top, Stand-by, Bottom position) and Three limit switches for emergency (2 for slack cable and 1 for top over-run). For the Maximum Load Capacity in terms of Volume and Weight, refer to the following table. The standard slope of the skip rails is 60°, but in case the general layout of the plant needs a different angle, the slope can vary from 55° to 70°.

Three positions are available for the skip hoist: Left Side, Right Side or Opposite Motor Side.

DOUBLE SPEED DESCENT: this option allows the skip to move down at 30 mt/min instead of 15 mt/min. After the discharge, for the whole run, the skip can move down at 30mt/min until it stops at the bottom position.

DOUBLE SPEED ASCENT AND DESCENT: this option allows the skip to move up and down at 30 mt/min. When moving up, the skip starts at Low Speed (15mt/min). After two seconds it can be switched to the High Speed (30mt/min) until it reaches the Stand By Limit Switch, where it must be switched back to the Low Speed. The discharge of the skip must be done at Low Speed. After the discharge, for the whole run, the skip can move down at 30mt/min until it stops at the bottom position.
