Why Mombasa needs elevator buckets
Kilindini harbour serves Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan; edible-oil refineries and cement plants operate nearby. 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.
Kenya is East Africa's commercial hub. Mombasa port serves Kenya and the landlocked markets beyond it, Nairobi hosts regional head offices and most manufacturers, and agriculture, from tea and flowers to maize and dairy, still employs most of the workforce.
