SAFE MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTIONS
Posted on February 3, 2020 in Conveyor Belts
Conveyor Belt Tracking: Keeping Material Loads in Line Bulk material handlers want to achieve optimal production with efficient maintenance and minimal downtime. When conveyor belts become misaligned, they can cost the plant lost labor, time, material, and compromised safety. If left unattended, they can also lead to equipment damage, such as shredding of the belt. […]

Bulk material handlers are well aware of the complications created by dust. If not controlled properly, it can cause both serious safety hazards and production problems. Dry dust collection is one of the top causes of combustible dust incidents (up to 40%). The system is also expensive to install and maintain. Other difficulties of dry […]

Bulk material-handling professionals know that a steady material flow is vital to production and profitability – and, just as important, customer service. This consistency requires that chutes, bins, hoppers, silos, and bunkers be free of pluggage and material build-up. Experience has taught you that maintaining material flow can be a challenge, especially when working with […]

Custom-Engineered Transfer Chutes: Making the Most of Your Material Flow Your plant likely has its own material handling challenges and demands. In particular, if inefficient mechanical conveying ever becomes an issue, it can result in a lot of extra maintenance, troublesome pluggage, spillage, and fugitive dust emissions, and potential damage from loading impact. All of […]

The Automated Way to Greater Performance, Safety, Compliance and Savings Bulk material handlers know that keeping the plant clean and dust-free can consume labor, time, and expense, especially if your conveying areas are being manually washed with a hose. Maintaining clean, dust-free workspaces concerns more than production: It also impacts operational compliance and safety. Achieving […]

Efforts to protect the conveyor belt and control dust and spillage frequently focus on solutions above the belt. This is helpful – but also often incomplete, as many problems originate beneath the belt. Efficient material flow systems include conveyor support above and below the belt. Benetech, Inc. specializes in complete conveyor belt support systems and […]

What Is It Really, and Why Do You Need One? When bulk material handlers think of dust suppression, they often think of measures taken to reduce dust but not the different “tools” used to reduce dust. Dust Suppression Meaning When Benetech refers to dust suppression, we mean a precisely engineered chemical solution–injection system that, when […]

Benetech MaxZone® XN Wear Liner Outside Control of Better Inside Performance As a bulk material handling professional, you’re familiar with the challenges wear liners can pose. For optimal function, the conveyor liner should be inside the skirtboard and wear liner system; this protects the sealing system and chute work from the attrition of material loading […]

High-performing conveyor belts are vital to your production and customer service. If you start to notice spillage around the head pulley and carryback or an increasingly worn conveyor belt scraper, these are signs your cleaning system is ready for an inspection. In many cases, you will find the problem lies with the scraper blade. Let’s […]

Bulk material handlers know the importance of a well-built and easy-to-maintain conveyor belt skirting system. The task that faces conveyor belts is tough – they have to remain durable and efficient in transferring bulk materials for long periods. Without proper sealing and support, they can deteriorate sooner than expected, leading to costly, unwanted spillage, interruptions […]
