Conveyors in Free State

The Free State is a grain province with a mining past and a chemical present. Maize, wheat and sunflower farming fills silos and mills around Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Bloemfontein, which use enclosed belts and bucket elevators. The Goldfields around Welkom are in long decline but still move tailings and underground rock. Sasolburg is the centre of coal-based chemicals and fuels, and Lethabo power station on the Vaal supplies electricity from a nearby opencast colliery. Bloemfontein is a road and rail logistics hub on the N1. The climate is continental: hot summers, hail, hard winter frosts and fine dust in dry months, which affects outdoor belts, idlers and cleaners.
