In the mining industry, the efficient and safe transport of bulk materials is a critical need to optimise production processes. Redler conveyors, thanks to their robust and versatile design, have established themselves as an ideal solution for moving large volumes of materials of varying granulometry, such as aggregates, coal, cement and other highly abrasive products.
Unlike other traditional options such as belt conveyors, redler conveyors stand out for their capacity to offer safe, clean and hermetic transport. At Espirales Chía, we are experts in the design, installation and maintenance of redler conveyors adapted to the needs of the mining sector, guaranteeing optimum, long-lasting performance in each project.
What are redler conveyors and how do they work?
Redler conveyors are conveyor systems that are primarily used to move bulk products horizontally or with little incline. They work by means of a chain that drags the material within a closed channel, allowing the movement of large volumes in a constant and controlled manner. This system is capable of conveying materials of varying densities and sizes without compromising product integrity.
One of the main advantages of redler conveyors is their ability to convey materials through multiple discharge points. This provides flexibility to mining operations, allowing product to be distributed and discharged at various destinations along the conveyor line.
Advantages of redler conveyors in the mining industry
In the mining industry, working conditions are often extreme, with dusty, abrasive environments and subject to variations in temperature and humidity. In this context, redler conveyors offer a number of key advantages:
- Airtight and watertight: One of the strengths of redlers is their ability to keep materials protected from the elements. Thanks to their closed design, the transported material is completely isolated, avoiding the generation of dust and exposure to external elements that can damage it.
- Reduction of dust in suspension: Unlike other systems, redler conveyors do not generate dust or particles in suspension during the conveying process. This not only improves the cleanliness of the facility, but also contributes to a safer and healthier working environment for workers.
- Adaptability to different materials: Redler conveyors can handle materials with different characteristics, from fine products and powders to larger, abrasive parts, making them a versatile solution for a variety of mining applications.
- Multiple discharge points: This type of conveyor allows for the installation of multiple discharge points along the route, facilitating the efficient distribution of materials to different locations within the plant or mine.
- Robustness and durability: As mining operations require equipment that can withstand constant wear and tear, redler conveyors are designed with highly resistant materials that guarantee a long service life and sustained performance over time.
Comprehensive maintenance for optimum performance
At Espirales Chía, we not only design and install high quality redler conveyors, but we also offer a comprehensive customised maintenance service to ensure that the equipment operates at 100% capacity throughout its life cycle. Wear on parts such as chains, rollers or bearings is common in this type of system, especially in demanding environments such as mining. For this reason, our team is responsible for carrying out the following maintenance actions:
- Replacement of chains and rollers: These components are essential to the operation of the redler. Proper maintenance ensures that the system continues to operate smoothly and efficiently.
- Bearing replacement: Bearings support much of the weight and movement of machinery. Keeping them in good condition is crucial to avoid unplanned interruptions in production.
- Revision of critical parts: Any deteriorated part can affect the overall performance of the system. At Espirales Chía, we perform periodic reviews to identify and replace any elements that show signs of wear.
Thanks to this preventive approach, we can reduce the risk of failure and maximise the life of redler conveyors, ensuring continuous and efficient operation in the mining environment.
Applications of redler conveyors in the mining industry
Redler conveyors have a wide range of applications in the mining sector, from the transport of minerals and aggregates to the handling of more delicate or abrasive products such as fine powders and granules. Their ability to handle different types of materials makes them an essential tool for improving logistics within mining facilities.
In addition, their modular design allows redlers to be easily adapted to different plant configurations, facilitating the expansion or modification of conveying lines according to production needs.
At Espirales Chía we are committed to providing high quality, customised solutions to our customers. From design to maintenance, we ensure that each redler conveyor operates efficiently and over time, helping to improve production processes and safety in the mining environment.
