LaFarge - Mountsorrel Quarry
07 January 2006, 96 words
For many years Lafarge's Mountsorrel Quarry has utilized Rulmeca motorized pulleys in critical areas where high throughputs and total availability are required. For the past nine years, the main shuttle conveyor on the quarry's toast-rack storage system has been powered by dual 800mm diameter, 37kW motorized pulleys (one at each end). This reversible travelling conveyor carries in excess of 2,500 tonnes/h of crushed granite at speeds of 3.15m/s. Lafarge have been so pleased with the performance of this system over the years that a sister conveyor running alongside has now also been converted to motorized pulleys.
