How to Choose Between Fixed, Upward, Telescopic, and Large-Inclination Conveyors
The route and production method usually separate the major conveyor families before width, speed, power, and component details are calculated.

Start with the route and operating method
A stable surface or plant route usually points toward a fixed conveyor. An underground route with meaningful vertical lift adds braking, backstop, and rollback questions. An advancing working face creates a length-change problem. A steep route introduces material-retention and transition constraints.
| Family | Typical planning condition | Early technical focus |
|---|---|---|
| TD75 | Standard fixed bulk-material route | Width, capacity, length, loading, environment |
| DTII(A) | Higher-duty fixed project with complete system engineering | Drive, belt, take-up, structure, transfer interfaces |
| DTL upward | Underground or mine route with vertical lift | Gradient, tension, brake, backstop, protection |
| Telescopic | Working face or loading point advances | Length range, belt storage, take-up, relocation |
| DTC large-inclination | Steep route with limited footprint | Material stability, belt form, loading, stopping |
Treat series names as the start of a design discussion
A series label does not close the system. Material, route, capacity, duty, power, controls, standards, and site interfaces still determine the final configuration and released model.
