ASGCO Return Roll Changers Provide Safety for Conveyor Maintenance Crews
Challenge
At this copper mining operation, the return idlers that track the belt on the conveyor system were very hard to access. The only way to change the idlers on this 36” wide conveyor belt, was to clear out all of the material on the ground and rent a 135’ man lift to access the conveyor belt tracking return idlers.

ASGCO Improves Operating Efficiency of Coal-Fired Power Plant’s Conveyor System
Challenge
The tripper component of the coal handling conveyor system was a major issue for several reasons, with the current OSHA NEP combustible dust requirements, to address any airborne dust issues, being the top priority. Read more
Ready Mix Plant Improves Production by Solving Conveyor Belt Tracking Problem
Challenge
A ready-mix plant had difficulty properly tracking the vital conveyor belt that feeds the mixer. The problem was essentially that the conveyor belt was difficult to keep in alignment, which caused serious belt edge damage, and in turn de-lamination and spillage in the conveyor load zone. Read more
Copper Mine Solves High Wear Areas with Armorite™
Challenge:
A copper mine was experiencing high wear in their “pant-leg” conveyor chute liners. A combination of abrasive material and high tonnages were the major factors in why the mine was getting only 4-5 weeks from their current wear liners (1” thick AR500 plates). The material being conveyed and transferred is 2½” minus crushed copper ore (105#/cuft @ 2.5% moisture) at a rate of 6800 TPH.
Eliminate Slippage and Excess Wear with Arrowhead Ceramic Lagging
Objective – Reduce wear on pulleys and provide effective coefficient of friction between the drive pulley and the conveyor belt within the copper ore transfer – from mine to leaching area.
The conveyor is 54” wide, handling 5500 tons per hour @ 15% moisture. With Copper ore 3” minus traveling to leaching area.

Wear Liners – Extending the life of your conveyor
Bulk handling conveyor belts have many applications in today’s mining and quarry industries. Because of their reliability, versatility, and range of capacities; belt conveyors are the most common type of bulk handling conveyor belt system. Wear Liners are designed to be an integral part of any bulk handling conveyor system. They eliminate spillage and prolong skirt board and belt life; by preventing fugitive material from escaping, damage is prevented to the conveyor loading areas. Read more
