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. Traditional skirting and idler systems while well designed for material containment and dust suppression often result in limited access and poor maintenance solutions.
H & B Mining’s Easy Maintenance Retractable Idler (EMRI) Offers Solutions.
Transform conveyor transfer maintenance with the EMRI.
- Unrestricted access and clear sight of all conveyor components
- Hands-free roller change-out of all rollers
- Guaranteed belt line: consistent gap between skirts and belt line
- Flattened EMRI wing rolls for simpler and faster belt change out
- Simple and safe solution to resolve blocked chute scenarios
The operational EMRI is the strongest impact idler on the Australian market today.
Unlike the conventional drop-down/jack-down impact idlers where the forces on the idler are directed through wing-pins/bolts supporting the idler’s underhung impact frame, the forces on the EMRI are directed through a robust central frame which is bolted directly to the conveyor stringers. The unsurpassed strength and easy maintenance features of the EMRI sets it apart from any other idler on the market
Combine Post-less Guard Design With the EMRI
To improve your transfer even further, the EMRI can be designed to incorporate a post-less guarding system. Not only does the post-less guard system offer 100% clear access to all your idlers and skirts for maintenance, it also provides a robust guarding system along the full length of the transfer.
The guards themselves can be manufactured from H.D.P.E or mild steel: both styles offering a lightweight, robust design to enhance the overall safety and productivity of the conveyor transfer.
