Pilbara Iron West Angelas
Standard conveyor pulley ceramic lagging which is common to most mine sites, generally consists of rubber and alumina ceramic bonded together and attached to the roller. One main reason why these rollers fail is from the rubber splitting and lifting up, causing the ceramic to fly off.
Greenbank Terotech eliminates the rubber altogether with direct adhesion of alumina tiles to the roller. The only way this can be achieved without the tiles detaching when in operation is with the Aerotech Bonding Process.
Pilbara Iron West Angelas were experiencing an ongoing problem with a number of their Live Snub Rollers on certain conveyors. Because of the high level of dust build – up and the aggressive wearing nature of iron ore, some of these rollers were not even lasting 2 months before needing to be taken out and either rubber relined or replaced.
Greenbank Terotech offered to line one of these rollers in Alumina Ceramic Tiles using our Aerotech Bonding Method. This was installed in April 07 and is still in service today.
