Let see an example in a platinium factory in South Africa :

The Standard Industrie’s customer was facing a daily loss of 2 to 3 tons of material

on the mill feeding conveyor. This required putting in place significant resources in terms of cleaning: 4 to 6 hours of cleaning per day carried out by 4 to 6 persons.

The consequences were a waste of time and money as well as a disruption in the production.

So, 30 meters of LIFTUBE® have been installed with a belt width of 900 mm to fit to the dimensions of the conveyor. An inspection hatch has been installed on one of the covers so that the customer can control the routing of the product to the mill.

The customer has regained his productivity and it is no long necessary for him to use a team to clean this area.
