Bespoke Transfer Systems
Efficient material transfer is a critical component of any materials handling operation, regardless of the commodity being moved. Whether handling coal, minerals, aggregates or other bulk materials, achieving seamless transfer is essential for boosting productivity, minimising costs and maintaining operational safety. In materials handling operations, issues such as dust generation, spillage, material degradation and equipment […]
Advanced Transfer Chutes
Mark Baller, Managing Director of Weba Chute Systems, explains how traditional chutes were once seen as basic components, designed simply to move material from one point to another. “Early chutes were often little more than boxes,” he says, “with minimal attention paid to the broader implications of their design, such as dust control or material […]
Minimising Spillage and Dust Creation
Optimising transfer points in materials handling applications is a strategic move that can significantly lower the total cost of ownership. This applies to both greenfield and brownfield installations, according to Mark Baller, CEO of Weba Chute Systems. He says investing in well-engineered transfer points is not just about improving individual processes but rather a holistic […]
Component Lifespan Predictions
In the face of declining commodity prices, the mining industry has increasingly prioritised cost saving measures, often leading to the suspension of capital expenditure (capex). While such strategies may yield short-term financial relief, the importance of implementing comprehensive maintenance programmes has never been more critical. One of the more complex aspects of mining operations maintenance […]
