Conveyors in Mokopane

Mokopane, formerly Potgietersrus, is the service town for the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex, where the Platreef is worked by large open-pit and underground platinum mines. Waste rock and ore move on long overland belts to crushers, mills and concentrators, so the area needs wide, high-strength belting, heavy-duty idlers and good lagging. Dust, heat and sharp, abrasive rock shorten the life of covers and scrapers. The town also supports cattle, citrus and game farms, with abattoirs and packhouses that run lighter conveyors. Belting suppliers and splicers are mostly based in Mokopane and Polokwane, about 55 kilometres south, with bigger orders coming from Gauteng.
