Conveyors in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape has fewer mines than the northern provinces, but its ports and factories create steady belting demand. The Port of Ngqura at Coega and the Port of Gqeberha handle manganese and other bulk cargo, the Coega special economic zone attracts new plants, and the Kariega and East London automotive clusters run assembly lines with component and parcel conveyors. Citrus packhouses in the Gamtoos and Sundays River valleys, dairy processing and aggregate quarries add to the mix. Coastal air is salty and windy, which corrodes steel parts and dries out exposed belting. Suppliers are centred in Gqeberha and East London and serve a wide, thinly spread inland market.
