Conveyors in Cape Town

Cape Town's economy runs through its busy port, which handles containers and a large share of the country's fruit exports, alongside repair yards and an offshore supply sector. Industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens, Killarney Gardens and Airport Industria hold food processors, packaging plants, cold stores and distribution centres that use belt and roller conveyors. The Mediterranean climate means dry, windy summers with the south-easter and wet winters, and salt air near the coast corrodes mild steel. Cape Town has the deepest industrial supply base in the Western Cape, with belting stockists, roller makers, splicing crews, fabricators and marine engineers who also serve Saldanha, the Winelands and the Karoo.
