The Overland Pneumatic Pipeline Conveyor (OPPC) — the Tubular Transportation System — moves crushed ore in wheeled steel containers through large-diameter pipelines, pushed by differential air pressure over any terrain, at any gradient, up to 250 km, fully automatically with no locomotive fleet and no haul road.
The same inventor behind the TTS also created the Centripetal Pulverizer — the technologies are designed to work in tandem: the CP micronizes ore at the mine face, and the TTS carries it across terrain that no truck or conveyor can reach.
