Conveyors in Kriel

Kriel is a small coal town surrounded by collieries that were developed to feed the Kriel and Matla power stations, which burn coal delivered mainly by conveyor directly from the mines. The same long belts, transfer towers and stockyards define the local landscape, and belt cleaning, spillage control and idler replacement are constant concerns. Maize farms around the town add seasonal grain handling. Winters are cold and dry, summers are wet with frequent lightning and hail. Kriel is a considerable distance from larger centres, so most work is done by contractors based in eMalahleni, Ogies and Secunda who handle emergency repairs, planned shutdowns and spares holding.

Grain silos, sugar mills and packhouses: splices on grain, sugar and fertiliser belts, timed before harvest and crushing seasons
Warehouses and distribution centres: finger and mechanical splices on parcel sorters and baggage belts, done in short night shutdowns
Quarries and sand mines: emergency hot and cold splices on conveyors cut by sharp aggregate
Open-pit iron ore, manganese and diamond mines: long stepped splices on wide steel-cord belts for iron ore and manganese stockpile conveyors

Frequently asked questions

What will the job cost in Kriel?

It depends on the belt and conveyor, the work involved, the crew and hours on site, consumables and travel. Send the form with the belt specification and a short description of the job and a splicing contractor working in Kriel will quote you.

Can a crew come out for a breakdown in Kriel?

Do contractors meet mine and plant safety requirements?

Contractors who work on mines and plants are used to site inductions, medical certificates, risk assessments and lock-out procedures. List your site's requirements in the request so they can be priced and arranged in advance.
