Not all chutes are created equal – why Weba Chute Systems stand apart

In the high-pressure environment of bulk materials handling, transfer chutes play a more pivotal role than many realise. While often overlooked, these components are critical to ensuring seamless flow, minimising downtime and reducing maintenance costs. And as Mark Baller, Managing Director of Weba Chute Systems, points out, the difference between a standard chute and a custom-engineered solution can have far-reaching operational and financial consequences.

Providing a ‘360-degree’ view to conveyor systems

By taking advantage of Tru-Trac’s holistic conveyor audits, which provide a ‘360-degree’ view to all components of their conveyor systems, mining operations can identify common issues early on and get actionable insights to keep their conveyor belt systems running smoothly.

Tru-Trac increases conveyor uptime at Mauritania mine

An iron ore mine in Mauritania was facing considerable safety risk and maintenance costs due to misalignment of its conveyors, until Tru-Trac implemented the solution.

Weba custom chute solution tackles sticky ore challenge in Caribbean gold mine

An expanding gold mining operation in the Caribbean recently faced a significant challenge at one of its transfer points, where sticky ore - especially problematic during the hot summer months - was causing blockages and excessive maintenance.

Africa is early adopter of rail-running conveyors from FLS

An African mine will be among the first adopters of the innovative Rail-Running Conveyor (RRC) technology, commercialised by full flowsheet provider FLS in collaboration with the University of Newcastle, Australia.

Martin® X-Stand improves air cannon efficiency and safety

The global leader in bulk material flow technology, Martin Engineering, has introduced a heavy-duty air cannon mounting system. The Martin® X-Stand is an organization system that safely keeps air cannons away from super-heated or potentially hazardous areas while offering easy service access. The result is clearer walkways, improved safety, and greater maintenance efficiency for a lower cost of operation.
