Why South Africa needs conveyor belts
South Africa is the continent's most industrialised economy, with world-class mining, a large automotive sector, heavy chemicals and advanced retail. Durban, Cape Town, Gqeberha and Richards Bay are the main ports.
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.
