Why Rwanda needs elevator buckets
Rwanda is a small, fast-growing landlocked economy with construction, agro-processing and services centred on Kigali, served through Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.
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.

Tin, tantalum and tungsten mining uses small-scale processing equipment.
In Rwanda, open-pit and underground mines and mineral processing plants buy elevator buckets from us mainly for plant maintenance and shutdowns and grain and oil mills.
