Maintenance crews face many hurdles when maintaining the safety and productivity of conveyor transfer points. Conveyor transfer design with the central need to contain material inherently comes with restricted access and confined spaces, making maintenance a time consuming and difficult process.
Twenty five years ago H & B Mining developed the first drop down idler (DDI). The DDI revolutionised conveyor roller change out and became a standard inclusion on just about every mine site in Australia.
Conveyor skirting systems in high impact transfer areas are notorious for excessive skirt wear and belt tear potential, contributing to excessive material spillage and high maintenance costs.
A deliverable in conveyor maintenance has arrived!
Customised H & B conveyor transfer products have coupled with educated and competent people in maintenance and standardised conveyor practices in a new collaboration between H & B Mining and Breight Group.
Conveyor skirting system design faces the challenge of forming a seal between the carry belt and skirt liner for the containment of material and dust without creating excessive friction wear to the carry belt itself.
H & B Mining have established themselves as innovators in conveyor transfer design through successful design and application of their mining conveyor products in mine-sites around the world over the last 25 years.
Ninety nine percent of mining conveyor transfer points experience the problem of skirt liner dislodgement. H & B Mining’s patented non-drop conveyor skirt liner has been identified as the solution to this problem for a West Australian iron-ore mine.
H & B’s brand new ͚Easy Maintenance Retractable Idler͛, the EMRI will revolutionise conveyor idler roller maintenance.
For over 20 years H & B Mining have been supplying their ‘Easy Maintenance’ conveyor products to the iron-ore industry of Western Australia.
H&B Mining have just started an Instagram account. We will be posting images of our innovative conveyor solutions and projects.
