In the mining sector, the selection principle is to “prioritize the most robust, reliable, and maintenance-friendly equipment that meets process requirements.” Key considerations include:

· Material Characteristics
Particle size, moisture content, abrasiveness, density.

· Process Requirements
Conveying capacity (t/h), conveying distance, lifting height, installation angle.

· Operating Environment
Open-pit or underground mines, dusty or humid conditions, ambient temperature.

· Investment and Operational Costs
Initial equipment investment, power consumption, maintenance costs, and frequency of replacing wear-prone parts.
