African Engineering Milestones
Explore how Canton Belting designs, supplies, and splices conveyor networks that keep core mining and agricultural sectors moving.
2.4km Steel Cord Splicing - Mpumalanga Coal Terminal
Installed System: ST2500 Steel Cord Belting (1200mm width, 6+4 cover thickness) with primary PU belt scrapers and impact idlers.
Challenge & Outcome: A critical coal decline conveyor suffered carcass failure. Canton Belting dispatched emergency crews to complete three hot vulcanized steel-cord splices on site within 36 hours, restoring coal transport routes and minimizing mill shutdowns.
Sugar Cane Crusher Incline - Lowveld Processing Plant
Installed System: Chevron Cleated Rubber Conveyor Belt (EP 630/3, 25mm Cleats) with heavy-duty lagged drive pulleys.
Challenge & Outcome: Cane fallback was reducing processing efficiency by 15% on a 28-degree crusher incline feed line. Our engineering team installed customized open-V chevrons, increasing throughput capacity by 22% and improving crop safety.
Ship Loader Extension - Beira Bulk Ore Terminal
Installed System: High-tension Multi-ply EP Belting with custom vulcanized corrugated sidewalls for high-speed ship loading.
Challenge & Outcome: Corrosive seaside moisture and highly abrasive minerals caused rapid splice oxidation on traditional mechanical joins. Canton Belting supplied marine-grade rubber covers with seamless hot vulcanized splicing.
Vertical Silo Lift - Central Grain Elevators
Installed System: Fire-resistant & Anti-Static (FRAS) Elevator Bucket Belting with reinforced bolt mounting holes.
Challenge & Outcome: Grain dust accumulation creates high explosion risks in silo towers. Canton Belting supplied ISO 340 anti-static and flame-retardant rubber composition belts, mitigating explosion hazards while supporting heavy steel buckets.
