03 / Engineering narrative

The situation, the problem, and what changed.

  1. 01

    The situation

    A coal overland conveyor had a misaligned belt at the cross-belt sampler. The misalignment was breaking the sealing system and creating persistent spillage.

  2. 02

    The problem (root cause)

    Without belt stability at the sampler, the sealing system could not function as designed. Spillage was constant.

  3. 03

    What Tru-Trac did

    Tru-Trac installed a 1,500 mm Taper Trough Tracker positioned to stabilise the belt approaching the sampler.

  4. 04

    The outcome (measured result)

    Spillage was completely eliminated. The sealing system was restored to its intended function.
