Conventional conveyor upgrades and retrofits

Conventional conveyors are a vital part of many industry operations. They are an essential part of operations in transporting material over long distances at mines, power stations, port operations and many other sites. With Metso’s deep equipment knowledge coupled with tailored offerings, your conveyors can be refurbished and upgraded to exceed their original design capacities.

Why upgrade your conveyor?

Safety and reliability

Superior safety with fewer repairs and maintenance, lower noise, less spillage and a cleaner environment

Lower environmental impact

Retrofits and refurbishments significantly reduce raw material consumption when compared with the procurement of new equipment

Benefits

Breathe new life into your conveyor. Conveyors are a series of moving parts that can affect production and throughput as components age.

  • Maximize equipment performance with a cost-effective solution
  • Gain new functionality with state-of-the-art and sustainable technology
  • Increase equipment reliability and productivity
  • Eliminate health and safety risks
  • Lower operating costs
  • Improve environmental performance
  • Maximize ROI and cashflow

Features

Consider the following when deciding whether to upgrade or replace aged and worn components with new equipment:

  • New equipment can cost significantly more than upgrading existing equipment. Metso can refurbish your existing equipment for far less while surpassing original design capabilities.
  • Upgrading your existing conveyor is more environmentally friendly. Improving operation reduces energy consumption, emissions and waste generation. New conveyors create an environmental footprint through the manufacturing of new material with logistics and commissioning expenditures that can be avoided with refurbishment.
  • Ancillary equipment can be added and incorporated into the conveyor system to improve maintenance activities and conveyor-related safety. This includes belt reelers for belt changeout, cutting and splicing tools, safety monitoring devices and complete conveyor operation automation.
  • Full system design reviews are available to package a complete conveyor refurbishment and upgrade. This includes upgrading and optimizing the drive system to improve performance and reliability with better energy efficiency; installing new motors, gearboxes, couplings and variable feed drives (VFDs) to return your drive arrangement to a state-of-the-art operation.
  • Lower operating costs and higher productivity give you a superior environmental performance. Replacing and repairing worn components with engineered parts reduces maintenance costs and downtime. By increasing your drive capability, you can increase the current capacity and operating throughput.
Cable belt reeler

Changing out your conveyor belts is a time- and labor-intensive process that can present workplace safety issues.

Eliminate manual belt changes and unsafe working practices with Metso’s conveyor belt reeler system. The modular, standardized solution  can be managed through an automated sequence from a control room for increased resource efficiency, quicker maintenance and enhanced safety.

More than just long distance conventional conveyors
More than just long distance conventional conveyors

We can do all lengths and even sidewall elevating conveyors or bi-directional conveyors.

Within a plant, the conveyors are an important complimentary piece of operating equipment.  We do all types of equipment upgrades to increase capacity on certain types of equipment, but also need to make sure that the conveyors between those pieces of equipment are upgraded to the same throughput.
