A critical step to conveyor safety and efficiency

/

Conveyor belt cleanliness is more critical to safe and efficient operation than you may think. Quarry operators often believe in an efficiency ‘sweet spot’, the balance between the amount of spillage beneath the system and dust emissions above, relative to the volume of material being transported and the total uptime.
