Conveyors in Middelburg

Middelburg sits on the north-eastern side of the Highveld coalfield and is known for its large stainless steel works and ferrochrome industry, which take chrome ore and coke and use heavy conveyors for charge materials. Surrounding collieries serve nearby power stations such as Hendrina and Arnot, and the town is on the main road between Gauteng and the Lowveld. Maize and cattle farms add grain handling. The Highveld climate means frost in winter, hail in summer and constant fine coal and ore dust. Belt suppliers and splicing crews operate from Middelburg and neighbouring eMalahleni, and plant shutdowns are usually scheduled in advance.
