Why Kabwe needs elevator buckets
Historic mining town and farming centre on the line of rail. 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.
Zambia is Africa's second-largest copper producer. The Copperbelt drives most industrial demand, while Lusaka is the commercial centre. Cargo arrives by road or rail through Dar es Salaam, Durban, Beira or Walvis Bay.
