No Need to Replace Linear Guides
Thanks to the adoption of NSK’s linear guides with K1 lubrication units, a British timber manufacturer has managed to reduce conveyor downtime by a factor of more than 12, prompting annual cost savings of more than €77,000. The manufacturer supplies wooden beams to the building industry. At one production station, a conveyor system transports the […]
A Dry Stack Tailings (DST) Solution
The recent commissioning of a Dry Stack Tailings (DST) system was supplied by Takraf to a Brazilian mine. While the dry stacking concept is not new, with references as early as 1909 in Australia, technological advances have made DST an increasingly important alternative to conventional methods for handling mine waste, enabling mining companies to significantly […]
Done It …Again!
Superior Industries, Inc, a US-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, recently completed design and manufacturing work on what they’re considering to be the world’s largest telescopic radial stacking conveyor. The brand-new TeleStacker conveyor model is a 48-inch-wide by 210-feet-long telescoping conveyor (1220mm x 64m). It’s capable of building 425 […]
Radar-Based Monitoring for Belt Systems
Continental is taking another step towards predictive maintenance and condition monitoring in conveyor belt technology by launching the new Conti Load Sense monitoring system. The system is based on 2D radar technology and measures the material flow on the conveyor belt. It can be used in almost all industries where conveyor belt systems are in […]
Considering Transfer Points Early Makes Sense
The mining sector relies increasingly on Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) firms for new builds and expansions, allowing miners to focus on their core mandates. The advantage of using EPCMs is their design and execution capability, which many mining companies have elected to reduce over the years. According to Weba Chute Systems project manager […]
Apron or Belt Feeder Arrangement
A year after taking delivery of its first ever McCloskey machine from Kemach Equipment, Crush-It Green (CIG) reports that the R155 scalper, deployed at one of its crushing sites in Gauteng, has lived up to expectations. Founded in 2019 when the two partners took over an existing recycling and production facility that had been in […]
Automating Conveyor Technology
Higher production demands across all bulk handling segments require increased efficiency at the lowest cost of operation, in the safest and most effective manner possible. As conveyor systems become wider, faster and longer, more energy output and more controlled throughput will be needed. Add an increasingly stringent regulatory environment, and cost-conscious plant managers must closely […]
