Why Bhutan needs conveyor belts
Bhutan is a landlocked Himalayan economy built on hydropower, closely integrated with India; goods move by road through Phuentsholing.
Belts, idlers, buckets and drag chains wear out in abrasive service, and a stopped conveyor stops the plant, so critical spares are kept on site.
