the conveyor belt. It uses the same patented E-Z Torque ten-
sioner as the rest of the Skalper line, featuring a stainless-steel
spring, allowing the blades to self-adjust, making it the most ro-
bust and accurate belt cleaner tensioner in the industry, ASGCO
reported. The tensioner and mounting tube are zinc-plated for
corrosion resistance and the blades can be quickly changed
from one side of the conveyor belt.
Pit-Skalper can be installed on any belt with maximum blade
speeds of 600 ft/m (3 m per second) and a pulley diameter of
10 in. to 20 in.

Mine Scheduling Optimization
Software Upgrade
Maptek announced Evolution 5, an upgrade to the company's
mine scheduling optimization software, which features an up-
dated interface for scheduling with attributed solids. The up-
grade enables short or medium-term scheduling with block mod-
els or solids, and seamless handling of stratigraphic reserves,
the company reported.
Maptek reported Evolution 5 features capabilities enabling:
enhanced road network tools, assignment of dependencies
to solids; more control over processes and the accumulation
of parcels; better validation of user data before submitting a
scheduling job; user defi nition of residual capital categories
that would apply towards the end of mine life when stockpiles
are being depleted, reporting and graphing of any data related
to the schedule.
When targeting multiple objectives, Evolution does not return
a single schedule but rather a set of optimized trade-off sched-
ules, the company reported.
