Iron Ore Case Study

Severe Belt Mistracking Issue Solved

One of our clients faced major production disruptions when an 1800mm-wide iron ore feed conveyor with a single loading point repeatedly shut down due to severe mistracking. After competitor tracker rollers failed to resolve the issue, we installed an RG2-1800 return roller, which resulted in major improvements. Check out the results and client feedback below.

Client Feedback

“After a simple analysis, we have seen a reduction of ~80% in downtime due to belt drift between before installation of the tracking frame and now (Before: 50mins/week downtime and After: 10mins/week downtime). We are keen to replicate this reduction on the other 2 similar set up conveyors”
