Material handling equipment represents a critical part of any mining operation. Responsible for the movement, storage and blending of the materials across the mine, they symbolize the arteries between the mine to the market. Because of this interconnectivity, any stoppage throughout the material handing chain will have negative impacts on productivity and profits. Get ahead of these challenges.


Conveyors

Meet your cost per ton targets and zero harm goals, while reducing unplanned downtime thanks to our integrated solution unifying automation, drives and machine safety.

Rockwell Automation can deliver advanced functions and applications focused on specific mining challenges. For conveyors, a transfer control function was specifically designed to address tracking and gap management tasks.
