Multi-ply? Straight warp? Steel cord? Something else? There’s more than just these categories of mining conveyor belt types that you need to consider when comparing equipment for your applications.  Sure, material type plays a huge role in what kind of mining conveyor belt you choose since operations typically occur in more demanding environments, but other […]

Dust and work sites aren’t a good marriage, as dust can cause a variety of health issues for workers, safety issues on job sites and mechanical issues. It’s a big part of the reason why conveyor dust control should be a point of emphasis on work sites, especially in mines and quarries where dust is […]

Everything has a shelf life, even the equipment that’s built tough and designed to last. And, this principle certainly applies to conveyor systems. Think about what your conveyor goes through, especially if it’s operating in a mine or quarry. There’s dust, heavy loads, impact forces, and a multitude of various parts and components that are […]

Any type of conveyor needs a variety of major and niche components to operate efficiently at peak performance. One of the more important niche components of the overall conveyor structure is the shaft mount reducer. Here we’ll take a closer look at the functionality of shaft mount reducers, why they’re important to the workings of […]

Conveyors serve a variety of different purposes, whether they’re located in the warehouse, in the mine, in a facility or quarry. You already know that the type of conveyor you select should be contingent on the location it’s set to be installed in as well as the product it’s designed to move. However, when it […]

Conveyor backstops protect inclined conveyors from gravity, notably when it comes to accelerated reverse runway. Backstops are safety mechanisms that stop product rollback on a stopped conveyor or drive failure. This is particularly important on fully loaded belt, as accelerated material will spill and create substantial liabilities or catastrophic damage to critical conveyor components. Essentially, […]

Like how the chassis of an automobile helps offer ruggedness, durability and smooth driving, the structure of a conveyor largely performs a similar role. It doesn’t matter what industries your conveyor is servicing – from sand and gravel to silver, salt, trona, potash, copper or coal – the structure is important and cannot be taken […]

Whether your conveyor is working to transport sand, gravel, wood, paper, gold or sugar, it’s crucial that you can rely on it to work effectively. There are numerous moving parts that enable your conveyor to perform reliably and efficiently, transporting product over considerable distances. Some of the most important components that you’ll want to ensure […]

When it comes to ensuring that conveyors are working effectively and efficiently, there are many moving parts that need to be working in sync. A fluid coupling is a key component. Specifically, fluid couplings are hydrodynamic devices that work to transmit rotating mechanical energy between the likes of axes or drive shafts. They serve several […]

We are excited and proud to have recently met requirements to receive an ISO 9001:2015 certification on September 20, 2018 from Intertek. The certification is applicable to the Design, Manufacture, Rebuild and Distribute Conveyor Equipment and Parts. We had several reasons to pursue the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification: The ISO 9001:2015 is based on seven quality management principles […]
