Industrial Applications

Iron Ore & Pellet Conveyors
Head drive pulleys power conveyors transporting iron ore and pellets from stockyards to blast furnace bins, handling abrasive bulk material at high tonnage.
Sponge Iron Discharge Conveyors
Drive pulleys on hot sponge iron discharge conveyors operate at elevated temperatures up to 250°C, requiring heat-resistant lagging and bearing arrangements.
Coke Oven Feed Conveyors
Used on conveyors feeding coal blends to coke oven batteries, where consistent belt drive and resistance to coal tar buildup are essential.
