Magnefast™: Faster, Safer Wear Liner Change-Outs
Cut downtime, boost safety, and extend liner life with magnetic wear liner innovation. Extended shutdowns, high labour demands, and safety risks have long been challenges in wear liner maintenance. In areas with difficult access, conventional change-outs can take days and require scaffolding, hot work, and specialised tools. Magnefast™ addresses these issues with focused magnetic technology […]
Lagging Select™: What Traditional Conveyor Designs Misses
Is your conveyor truly protected from belt and lagging damage — or just barely avoiding slip? Conveyor drive systems are often designed using traditional torque transfer calculations like Euler’s equation, supported by CEMA guidelines. These methods help prevent full slip between belt and pulley. But what they don’t show is the localised slip that silently […]
Case Study: Magnefast™ Ceramic Liners Proven at Port Hedland
From Trial to Transformation at the World’s Largest Bulk Export Port In 2019, a major export port in Port Hedland trialled the Magnefast™ Ceramic Wear Panels to solve a costly problem: Regular 10 monthly shutdowns to replace the studded Bisalloy wear liners, crane hire, and a 38 hour shut window to complete a wear liner […]
Case Study: How Lagging Select™ can De-Risk an Entire Mining Operation
When lagging fails, it’s not just the lagging you lose – it’s time, money, and production. A large Australian gold mine upgraded their conveyor to increase throughput from 4,600 to 5,150 tph. The belt was upgraded, but the pulley lagging selection relied purely on historical use – no analysis was done to confirm if it […]

Elastotec: Reducing Downtime and Increasing Productivity in Mining
The main challenges of pulleys in contact with the carry side of the belt In conveyor systems, pulleys play a critical role in ensuring smooth operation, proper belt tracking, and effective material transportation. Among these, pulleys that come into contact with the carry side of the belt—often referred to as the “dirty side”—face unique and […]
Pulleys in contact with carry side of belt
Pulleys in contact with the carry side (dirty) of the belt have a different challenge to all other pulleys on the conveyors. Lagging on these pulleys is in contact with the thick belt cover and have
