03 / Engineering narrative
The situation, the problem, and what changed.
- 01
The situation
An extreme-incline 2,400 mm tripper conveyor at a copper ore processing plant suffered belt damage under demanding operating conditions.
- 02
The problem (root cause)
Belt damage on a high-incline, wide belt is expensive: replacement, labour, and lost production. Existing tracking could not protect the belt at the duty point.
- 03
What Tru-Trac did
Tru-Trac installed Dual Return PU Trackers selected for the operating envelope.
- 04
The outcome (measured result)
Belt damage was eliminated. Monthly production output improved. The site ordered additional units for preventative maintenance on similar belts.
