03 / Engineering narrative
The situation, the problem, and what changed.
- 01
The situation
A large stacker reclaimer in Germany operated a 2,300 mm belt at 9.6 m/s. Persistent mistracking had defeated previous tracker installations within a week.
- 02
The problem (root cause)
The belt's combined width and speed created corrective force requirements beyond standard tracker tiers. Off-the-shelf solutions could not survive the duty.
- 03
What Tru-Trac did
Tru-Trac developed and supplied an Extra Heavy-Duty (EXHD) tracker matched to the operating envelope.
- 04
The outcome (measured result)
The EXHD tracker has performed for over 12 months with no replacement. The customer adopted the Tru-Trac specification standard for similar applications across the operation.
