Abstract
A dumping system, for the dumping of material, in particular for the filling of a former strip mine, includes a conveyor belt with belt modules () suspended on cables and a traveling tripper (), which is arranged traveling in the direction of conveying. The belt modules () are fastened by braced carrier cables () and suspension cables () fastened thereto in a mostly horizontal alignment. The traveling tripper () can travel on the belt modules (). Furthermore, the slack of the carrier cables () may be compensated by a different length of the suspension cables (), such that the belt modules () are aligned mostly horizontally. It is thus possible to span over the area to be dumped (for example, a pit) with cables and to dump material by the traveling tripper at all points of the bracing. Thus, it is not necessary to drive the dumped material.
