Innovative solutions from Kinder Australia are providing quarries with cleaner and safer operations, effectively reducing dust, spillage, and improving asset life.
A leading North-East Victorian quarry expanded production to meet rising demand, but three key issues held it back: Dust and spillage, carryback, and asset protection.
As throughput increased, dust emissions and spillage at transfer points created safety and compliance challenges. Carryback caused roller build-up, while inconsistent belt cleaners led to frequent downtime and costly maintenance.
Partnering once again with Kinder, the quarry implemented an engineered conveyor solution tailored for long-term performance and low maintenance.
The key solutions included the K-Sure Belt Support, K-Snap-Loc & K-Containment seal, the Eraser Primary & K-Safeguard Vee Plough Cleaners, and the K-AllShelter Covers, K-Conveyor Pulley & Lagging, Idler Frames and K-SkirtSupport System.
As a result, dust and spillage levels significantly reduced, carryback was virtually eliminated, maintenance-free belt cleaners, and longer asset life.
The quarry also achieved cleaner workspaces, improved air quality and safer operations due to Kinder’s solutions. Maintenance demands dropped, and the site now runs more efficiently than ever.
