Portable air tensioning system reduces carryback at iron ore mine

The confined location of the chute put technicians’ safety at risk when routine belt cleaner tension adjustments were required, therefore maintenance was not regularly performed leading to excessive carryback. Read how a Portable Air Tension system eliminated manual adjustments for over four months due to consistent blade-to-belt pressure.

One of the most important belt cleaner maintenance tasks is to check the tension, as consistent blade-to-belt pressure ensures the best cleaning capability, ultimately increasing your system productivity and belt life.

The confined location of the chute on a conveyor at an Australian Iron ore mine put technicians’ safety at risk when routine belt cleaner tension adjustments were required, therefore maintenance was not regularly performed leading to excessive carryback.

Read how a portable air tension system eliminated manual adjustments for over four months due to consistent blade-to-belt pressure and minimised the safety risks involved.
