Crushing and Screening

Feeling centered: the zen of conveyor belt tracking

By Dave Mueller, Conveyor Products, Product Manager / Martin Engineering

The moment a conveyor belt wanders, material spills, system safety and productivity quickly degrade, and operating costs rise. Spillage fouls idlers and pulleys, causing them to seize, leading to friction damage on the belt and potentially becoming a fire hazard. When a high-speed belt edge contacts the stringer, it can cause fraying, shredding, or splice damage and cut through steel mounts.

Efficient and sustainable tailings management starts with the right cyclone

Tailings management is a significant challenge for the mining industry, and it is under more scrutiny than ever, as global industry standards call for safer, more sustainable practices. The rising demand for minerals and metals means that modern mines must raise throughput, control costs, and reduce their environmental footprint, all while responsibly managing their Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs). Meeting these demands starts with a technology that is often overlooked but essential: the cyclone.
