This week’s photo highlights a belt conveyor. This particular belt conveyor is called a “slider bed” conveyor. The belt slides on a UHMW trough instead of idlers, which helps contain and minimize spillage. A slider bed does not allow for any belt sag between idlers …
Companies that use heap leaching to extract precious metals such as copper, gold, silver, or uranium ore have come to rely on FEECO for their production needs, from preliminary consultation and feasibility/materials testing, to custom equipment manufacturing and system design. FEECO can even offer a …
Problems encountered with troughed belt conveyors have the potential to injure employees, shut down the production line, and incur substantial costs in repairs and production losses. Choosing a reputable conveyor manufacturer and having a system designed around the unique needs of the specific handling application …
The bucket elevator serves as a key piece of equipment in vertically transporting material throughout a facility, whether it is a mine site or production plant. The selection of a well-built elevator often means the difference between an operation that runs smoothly and reliably, and …
From moving ore at the mine site, to storing finished product, the fertilizer industry relies on bulk material handling equipment to keep processes running and product moving around the clock. This heavy demand, combined with some of the specific challenges fertilizers present, requires expertly designed …
The advent of industrial belt conveyors fundamentally changed production lines, increasing efficiencies, reducing labor requirements, improving safety, and streamlining production.
