Conveyors in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa's gateway for bulk and containers. The Port of Richards Bay exports coal and handles dry bulk, while the Port of Durban is the busiest container port in the country. Sugar mills dot the coast, northern towns such as Newcastle and Dundee have steel and coal operations, and the Pinetown, Pietermaritzburg and Isipingo industrial areas support paper, packaging, chemicals and food processing. Aggregate quarries serve a steady construction market. The coast is hot and humid, with salt air that corrodes steel, idlers and pulleys, and heavy summer rain affects outdoor belts. Suppliers and splicing crews are concentrated around Durban, Richards Bay and Pietermaritzburg.
