BUILT TO LAST

WITH SIX DECADES OF EXPERIENCE BEHIND IT, CONVEYOR COMPONENTS COMPANY HAS A REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY IN SOME OF THE HARSHEST MINING ENVIRONMENTS.

- 

When a worker's wellbeing is at stake, reliability is not negotiable.

That is where Conveyor Components Company has staked its reputation.

Founded in Michigan in 1965, the family-owned business has grown into a global supplier of conveyor monitoring and safety controls, while still manufacturing from its US base.

Over the decades, the company has built a product portfolio that addresses the key challenges of material handling across industries. For the mining sector, that means equipment that can withstand dust, vibration, heavy loads and extreme weather while delivering a rapid response in emergencies.

The company's core products include safety stop switches, belt alignment controls, pull cord switches, tilt switches, level controls and plugged chute detectors.

Each product is designed with one goal in mind: to protect people, equipment and productivity.

Belt alignment controls, for instance, detect when a conveyor belt begins to run off centre, which can quickly escalate into costly downtime or catastrophic belt damage.

Pull cord switches, often called safety stop switches, provide workers with an immediate way to shut down a conveyor in an emergency, no matter where they are along the line.

Tilt switches and level controls ensure bulk material is flowing as it should, while plugged chute detectors prevent blockages that can lead to spillage, fire or extended downtime.

Conveyor Components sales manager John Carlson told Australian Mining that what sets the company apart is not just the breadth of its range, but the rigour of its manufacturing and testing processes.
