Conveyors in Empangeni

Empangeni is the commercial and agricultural centre for the Zululand coast, set among sugar cane fields and timber plantations a short drive from the Port of Richards Bay. Sugar mills crush and process cane through the season, and conveyor carriers, bagasse belts and sugar-handling lines operate under sticky, corrosive and humid conditions. Timber and pulp operations move logs and chips, and the town provides the engineering support, accommodation and workforce for industries in Richards Bay. Summers are hot and wet, and the air is salty on the coastal side. Workshops, belting stockists and mechanical contractors in Empangeni also serve Richards Bay, Mtunzini and the Zululand farming area.
