Conveyors in Durban

Durban is home to the busiest container port in Southern Africa, along with bulk terminals for grain, fertiliser, sugar, minerals and chemicals on the Bluff and the Point. The South Durban Basin and the wider metro hold refineries, chemical plants, food manufacturers, paper and packaging businesses, and large distribution centres in places like Jacobs and Prospecton. Warm, humid air and coastal salt corrode steel frames, idler shells and fasteners, so coatings, sealed bearings and stainless components are important. Summer downpours add to wet-belt problems. Durban has the country's deepest coastal supplier base outside Cape Town, with belting stockists, splicing crews and marine and industrial engineering workshops.

Typical conveyor belt maintenance requests in the area come from:

Ports and bulk terminals: maintaining ship loader and terminal conveyors against salt air and tight vessel schedules
Warehouses and distribution centres: keeping warehouse and parcel belts running through peak seasons with planned checks
Food and beverage factories: inspecting hygienic belts and lines, with cleaning access and food safety rules in mind
Cement, steel and process plants: servicing cement, steel and recycling conveyors through heat, dust and constant duty
Grain silos, sugar mills and packhouses: servicing grain, sugar and fertiliser conveyors before the season so they do not fail at peak
