Mining conveyors operate under heavy loads and harsh environments, making them prone to buildup, contamination, and material carryover. Effective conveyor wash systems use precision spray technology to deliver consistent cleaning across belts, rollers, and support structures—ensuring efficient material handling, reduced contamination risks, and improved operational reliability.
Key Benefits
- Removes dirt, fines, and material buildup from conveyor systems
- Reduces cross-contamination between ore batches
- Lowers maintenance frequency and extends conveyor life
- Improves throughput efficiency by minimizing stoppages
- Supports safety by preventing material spillage and dust accumulation
