Conveyors in Kathu

Kathu is the hub of the Sishen iron ore operations in the Kalahari and a service base for manganese and other mines in the Kuruman and Hotazel area. Iron ore is mined in opencast pits, crushed and screened, then loaded onto trains for the long export line to the Port of Saldanha, with conveyors moving ore through the plant and onto stockyards. The ore is dense and abrasive, summers pass 40 degrees, and red Kalahari sand blows into everything, which accelerates wear on idler bearings, pulleys and scrapers. Contractors, fabricators and splicing teams have built up around the mines, and suppliers deliver from Gauteng and Kimberley.

Typical mining conveyor belts requests in the area come from:

Open-pit iron ore, manganese and diamond mines: overland steel cord belts and pit conveyors moving large ore tonnages over long distances
Cement, steel and process plants: smelter, cement and steel plant feed belts taking mined raw material
Warehouses and distribution centres: rarely used, mostly for bulk coal or ore rail-loading terminals
Quarries and sand mines: primary and secondary crusher belts needing impact- and cut-resistant covers
Grain silos, sugar mills and packhouses: limited use, occasionally for mine-linked fertiliser or lime handling plants
