The challenge
Conveyor belts and bucket elevators run continuously and are exposed to vibration, abrasion and dust. Failures in their structures or belts stop production.
The plant asked for a structural and non-destructive inspection of its conveyor system and bucket elevator, to find defects before they caused a breakdown.
Scope of works
- Structural inspection of the conveyor support structures
- NDT inspection of the conveyor belt and its components
- Structural and belt inspection of the bucket elevator
- Inspection report with findings and recommendations
Outcome
The plant received a documented assessment of its conveyor system and bucket elevator, supporting planned maintenance instead of breakdown repairs. See our NDT services and the bucket elevator concrete repairs case study.
