ELEVATING CONVEYOR PROTECTION

DYNA ENGINEERING IS TAKING ITS HDPE PRODUCT RANGE TO THE NEXT LEVEL THROUGH A NEW UNDER CONVEYOR GUARD.

- 

A common challenge in the mining industry is material falling off the conveyor belt during operation, resulting in potential injury to personnel, equipment and surrounding assets. As the resources sector increasingly prioritises conveyor safety, DYNA Engineering has designed and manufactured under conveyor guards (UCG) made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Also known as dropped objects protection, DYNA's UCG is designed to stop debris, spillage and other objects from falling to the ground through the conveyor structure.

The primary feature of DYNA's UCG is its high-density polyethylene (HDPE) panel, known for being lightweight, durable and resistant to heat, chemicals, water and corrosion.

"We found that larger UCGs weighed over 20 to 25kg, and mine sites started implementing weight restrictions to about 15kg for one-person lifts," DYNA general manager Thomas Greaves told Australian Mining.
