Bulk material handlers depend on properly engineered conveyor transfer points for steady and efficient production. Without them, as tons of material drop with intense impact from receiving chutes onto conveyor belts, (fugitive) material can collect on floors and equipment, creating numerous operational problems. Fugitive material often poses health and safety hazards in addition to requiring […]
