Preventing Frozen Bulk Material & Conveyor Belts What to Know & Use This Winter Steady, efficient production at a bulk material handling operation can involve more than controlling dust and having the right equipment for material containment and flow on the conveyor belt. Managing weather conditions also becomes a factor, especially in winter when they […]

Most bulk material handling plants have confined spaces that are restricted or limited for access and not designed for continuous occupancy. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), more than 1.5 million workers enter confined spaces each year. Because of the nature of confined spaces, workers must enter them with great caution and […]

Conveyor Wash Box: Remove Carryback & Bulk Material Cross-Contamination Benetech has developed the conveyor belt wash box to combat carryback and bulk material cross-contamination. The bulk material handling equipment at a typical operation will often move thousands of tons of product every hour of each day. This material is blasted, crushed, ground, conveyed, and transferred […]

Keeping Carryback Out of the Way Consistent production in bulk material handling is best achieved when a conveyor belt is clean and intact so it can continue to perform. Spillage around the head pulley and carryback dust and spillage indicate the belt’s cleaning system is compromised. A worn conveyor belt scraper is often the source […]

Material handling systems are designed to ensure that raw material is successfully carried and delivered from one point in the process to the next. I.e., they aim to produce a planned, reliable output. Achieving this requires equipment and conditions that save time, money, and effort without any interruptions. However, because of various problems during the […]

As a bulk material handler, you know that just because a conveyor system seems to be functioning well, complications can still be forming within it. If the system is not inspected and maintained correctly, what begins as a small problem can turn into a major one that forces a shutdown and creates lost production and, […]
