Why Eritrea needs conveyor belts
Eritrea is a small Red Sea economy with mining (gold, copper, zinc, potash) and ports at Massawa and Assab.
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.
Mining & minerals in Eritrea
Bisha and other mines use conveyors and heavy spares.
In Eritrea, open-pit and underground mines and mineral processing plants buy conveyor belts from us mainly for plant maintenance and shutdowns and grain and oil mills.
