Boral Cement
Berrima – New South Wales
Product – Limestone
Requirements:
Boral Cement contacted Aerobelt to supply conveyors for a new system to enable limestone to be introduced into the process. The new conveyors had to provide the benefits of
- Having the capability to be loaded from a wide feeder conveyor.
- Minimize the capital cost for the supporting steel work.
- Cater for a range of capacities depending on the limestone characteristics.
- Reduce the maintenance cost of the conveyor system.
Solution:
Aerobelt used a 23.6” Aerobelt conveyor design that did not require access walkways. Mobile plant is used for infrequent maintenance of return rollers under the conveyors.
The conveyor sections were specially manufactured to require only the use of intermittent support towers and cables. Around the plant three 15.75” wide conveyors were used to disti1bute the product to other areas.
