Conveyors in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River and the centre of a rich maize, sunflower and livestock district. Grain silos, mills, oil presses, feed plants and food processors use belt and screw conveyors, bucket elevators and light-duty belts, rather than the heavy rubber used on mines. The town is also within reach of the Vaal Reef gold field at Klerksdorp and Stilfontein, so mining contractors and suppliers are in the region. The climate is warm summers with storms and cold, dry winters with frost. Grain dust is an explosion risk, so housekeeping and belt alignment matter. Suppliers serve the area from Klerksdorp and Johannesburg.

Gold mines and retreatment plants: maintaining wet, abrasive tailings and ore conveyors where idlers corrode and seize
