01Bulk conveying systems
Troughed belt conveyors, pipe conveyors and bucket elevators, tailored to the material — coal, clinker, iron ore — and its abrasion and impact profile.
Talk to our teamOptimising throughput, eliminating bottlenecks
End-to-end design, supply and execution of heavy-duty material handling infrastructure. We build high-capacity, continuous-operation systems that keep your bulk materials moving efficiently, safely and without interruption.
We engineer, supply and erect high-capacity conveying systems that keep bulk material moving efficiently around the clock.
Every system starts with capacity modelling — exact tons-per-hour, belt widths, speeds and troughing angles — so the line is sized for the material, not the other way round.
We stay a single accountable contractor from the first flow calculation through to full-load testing, so the system that reaches your operators performs to the throughput it was designed for.

Erection & commissioning
A handling system is only as good as its alignment and its splices. We take the project from structural assembly to continuous commercial operation as one accountable package.
Precision structural erectionStrict alignment of conveyor stringers, trestles and drive frames — the difference between clean tracking and premature belt-edge wear.
Belt splicing & vulcanizationHot and cold vulcanization executed so splice strength matches the parent belt, with mechanical fasteners on hand for emergency repairs.
Integration & load testingFull mechanical and electrical integration, then rigorous no-load and full-load testing — take-up calibration and drive synchronisation verified before handover.
Programme
From design to continuous operation
Seven controlled stages, from the first tonnage calculation to a full-load run — each signed off before the next begins.
01Capacity & TPH modellingBelt width, speed and troughing angle sized to the tonnage.
02Transfer & chute designRock-boxes and transfer points shaped to the material trajectory.
03Structural engineeringGalleries, trestles and transfer towers checked for dynamic and wind load.
04Structural erectionStringers, trestles and drive frames aligned for true belt tracking.
05Belt install & splicingBelting pulled in; hot / cold vulcanized splices to full tensile strength.
06System integrationMechanical and electrical tie-in; take-ups and drives calibrated.
07Load test & handoverNo-load then full-load runs; drive sync verified, then commercial handover.
The business advantage
Optimised transfer geometry cuts material degradation, localised chute wear and fugitive dust — protecting both throughput and the plant environment.
Lifecycle
Lifecycle support & critical spares
Continuous operation demands a proactive spares strategy. We run a rapid-response supply chain for the aftermarket components that keep a handling system out of forced outage.
