Energy-saving conveyor belts for the mining industry
In today’s mining operations, the transportation of minerals and overburdens accounts for a major share of energy consumption and CO2 emission. What’s more, newly implemented taxes and legislation are now limiting energy usage and emissions in the mining sector. As a result, companies are coming under increasing pressure to adopt more sustainable operational practices.
Long, heavy-duty conveyor belts are an essential part of the mining industry but driving these belts requires massive amounts of energy. In light of the new legislative environment, growing energy prices and carbon emission penalties, Teijin Aramid’s high-performance Twaron aramid fiber and Sulfron additive offer distinct advantages. When used in conveyor belts, they help optimise energy usage and limit emissions to meet the industry’s stringent requirements.
