The Iron Ore Conference 2023 taking place in Perth, Western Australia has kicked off this week with Energy transition a key focus of the 2023 Conference Program.Kinder Australia is excited to have Bradley Owen, Mechanical Engineer present Cameron Portelli’s technical article “Analysing Impact Forces & Overcoming Speed, Heat and Pressure Issues in High Capacity Belt Support Applications”.

Kinder Australia has developed a range of idler frames to ensure the backbone of a conveyor system is correctly configured. Idler frames play a fundamental role. If they are not well profiled and positioned, the belt is at increased risk of misalignment.
Misalignment can lead to uneven wear and damage to the conveyor belt itself, or disastrous material spillage. This can lead to expensive productivity and maintenance losses.
