Overburden comes in many forms—and mining, government, earth moving and construction companies are just a few industries that need to move it in large quantities.
Every overburden type presents unique challenges, such as abrasive materials, dust, and fire potential.
The density of the material influences transfer rates and required conveyor power. Some applications need only short runs, while others can span miles.
For these reasons and many more, overburden conveyors always require some customization. We’ll optimize the drive system, belt construction, dust control, and other components to ensure the system works as you need it.
