Extracting minerals or aggregates through Quarrying and Mining is a demanding task. High volume production, and the aggressive nature of the materials being handled, place high levels of strain on your production equipment. Keeping production stoppages and plant maintenance to a minimum can contribute greatly to efficient, effective and safe operation.
We have experience helping clients extracting aggregates and minerals maintain the effectiveness of key production equipment handling materials such as crushed rock, sand & gravel, marine aggregates, gypsum and limestone. Our team is particularly successful in improving the performance of belt conveyors.
If you are also processing these materials following extraction, then why not take a look at our Processing: Aggregate & Minerals page which details a wider range of bulk materials handling and powder processing solutions.
Ensuring conveyors are cleaned effectively, properly aligned and loaded with minimal waste is key to their overall performance. Our belt cleaners, tracking rollers and sealing systems help to maximise uptime through minimising maintenance and housekeeping requirements.
When transferring materials from point-to-point, it is essential to counter the effects of abrasion and impact, otherwise equipment can suffer from poor service life or high levels of maintenance. Our wear liners and bespoke wear parts are designed to ensure that you can continue to keep producing.
Hold-ups, blockages and slow moving materials can constrain the output of your plant. We offer a wide range of flow linings and vibratory products to ensure you achieve the desired throughput from key equipment, such as screens and feeders.
Starclean saves clients time and money by reducing conveyor downtime, wasted material, manual handling, clean-up time, dust emissions, and health and safety concerns associated with material carryback.
Manufactured by one of Europe’s most respected belt cleaner manufacturers, Starclean incorporates the ingenious twist-swing tensioning mechanism. This ensures optimal blade contact to the belt regardless of individual segment wear for excellent cleaning performance, minimal maintenance and cost effective operation.
The simplicity of the unique quick-release tensioning devices and quick-change, slot-in blade design means site staff can quickly and safely carry out tool-less maintenance. It literally takes seconds to disengage, maintain and re-tension, keeping maintenance costs and downtime to a minimum.
