Conveyor systems are the backbone of material handling in mines, quarries and bulk processing plants. They move massive volumes of material across long distances and through complex circuits, linking each stage of production. When they operate reliably, they underpin productivity. When they falter, the knock-on effects can halt operations and drive up costs within minutes.
Another Tru-Trac innovation has been proven in the field, with its Apex Trough Tracker ensuring reliable alignment on wide high-speed and heavy-load belts at Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT), in KwaZulu-Natal – one of the world’s largest coal export facilities. Guy Fitt, sales manager at the company, explains that this solution is good news for
As global leaders in solutions for conveyor belt misalignment, Tru-Trac will excite visitors to Electra Mining Africa this year with a whole new range of belt trackers among its innovative offerings. The latest range is the outcome of two years of design, development and testing, according to Tru-Trac chief operating officer Shaun Blumberg.
Accurately measuring the load on conveyor belts is critical for mines and other industrial applications, however small margins of error with belt scales can have large a dramatic impact on bottom line profitability. Tru-Truc boast accuracy error levels of as low as 0.08% – which is unheard of in applications where many customers are happy
