Optimize your operation’s efficiency.

In an industrial environment where tons of material are being unloaded from containers, transported along conveyor belt systems and funneled through chutes, efficiency is critical. With so many moving parts in the process, they have to be precisely coordinated to make sure that the product is moved efficiently without spilling or sticking to the conveyor belt.

When problems occur, materials accumulate quickly. It can build up on the belts and result in carryback or it can adhere to the interior walls of chutes and containers, especially if the material retains moisture. In addition to the loss of product, this also creates obstructions that can hinder or damage the equipment. In extreme situations, particularly at the tail section of conveyor belts, components can be completely buried by spilled material. This frequently causes a shutdown that requires manual cleanup. This is not only inefficient… it can be hazardous for the workers.

If your operation would benefit from an increase in efficiency, talk to one of our experts and ask about our Walk The Belt™ program, where we perform a thorough inspection and assessment of your entire conveyor system. We’re standing ready to listen to you describe your operation and offer recommendations on how to optimize your efficiency. Our technicians and engineers are available to provide expert advice and assistance on all of your bulk material handling questions and problems.

Martin® Offers Process Improvement Recommendations in Coal-Fired Power Industry
In normal operations at a coal-fired power plant in Arkansas, a 72-inch (1800 mm) feeder belt loads coal onto another 72-inch (1800 mm) belt. Plant engineers wanted to be able to bypass the second conveyor and load material directly from the first conveyor to the last. The plant needed engineering assistance to accomplish this redesign and avoid bottlenecks and plugs in the new chute.

Martin® Self Adjusting Skirting Maintains Effective Seal Without Maintenance
A salt plant in Ohio was looking to upgrade their skirtboard sealing systems. The existing slab rubber skirting was in bad repair and leaking material. With less than two inches (51 mm) of free belt area on each side of the loading zone, the conveyor had very limited amount of space available for installation of a sealing system.
