Spillage, surge loading and airborne dust at conveyor transfer/feed points cause a number of costly and environmental problems. Material build up, seized rollers and belt wear, erode maintenance budgets and are common even for modern conveyor systems. For over 20 years, Smiley Monroe has been offering proven solutions to spillage and dust escaping at transfer / feed points. Our system is tailored to suit your specific application and the severity of the problem, using standard components and contributes to a cleaner, healthier and safer workplace.
Fitting a Smiley Monroe Glide Tracker roller keeps the conveyor belt central to the conveyor and is a simple, immediate way of reducing the risk of material spillage caused by belt misalignment.
By its nature quarrying has the potential to create dust. The control measures in place should prevent this reaching levels that will cause harm. Check the control measures in your workplace are identified in the health and safety document and that they work in your workplace. Do the measurements taken to monitor exposure show how effective they are? Is there more that can be done to control dust? Are the extraction units adequate and maintained? Do the people doing the job know what the exposure levels are? Guidance is available in HS(G) 73 Respirable crystalline silica at quarries, and the video Dust in Quarries both available from HSE Books.
