ABSTRACT:
A system for obtaining mechanical power from a driven belt conveyor which services a remote area such as a coal mine where delivering electrical power is difficult and/or hazardous. The system includes apparatus selectively driven by the return flight of the mined material conveyor belt to provide mechanical driving power to an auxiliary device, such as a pump. A pair of driveable rollers are coupled together on the same side of the belt and a tensioning roller, for urging the conveyor belt into driving engagement with the driveable rollers, is adjustably positioned on the opposite side of the belt.
