Conveyors in Richards Bay

Richards Bay is the country's main bulk export harbour, with the Port of Richards Bay handling coal, mineral sands products, aluminium, woodchips, fertiliser and grain. The Richards Bay Coal Terminal moves huge tonnages from rail to stockyards and onto ships, and industries around the port include an aluminium smelter, heavy-minerals processing and pulp and paper plants. Conveyors are everywhere, from stackers and reclaimers to ship loaders and transfer towers. Conditions are harsh: salt air, humidity, coal and fine mineral dust, and violent summer storms. Port and plant shutdowns drive demand for belting, rollers and lagging, and a well-developed base of contractors in Richards Bay and Empangeni supports them.

Typical mining conveyor belts requests in the area come from:

Ports and bulk terminals: mine-to-ship export lines using steel cord belting and weather-resistant covers
Coal mines and power stations: run-of-mine and underground section belts, with fire-resistant antistatic grades below ground
Cement, steel and process plants: smelter, cement and steel plant feed belts taking mined raw material
Open-pit iron ore, manganese and diamond mines: overland steel cord belts and pit conveyors moving large ore tonnages over long distances
Warehouses and distribution centres: rarely used, mostly for bulk coal or ore rail-loading terminals
Grain silos, sugar mills and packhouses: limited use, occasionally for mine-linked fertiliser or lime handling plants
