Eco-light Design Future Looks Bright for the ‘Eco Light’

The H & B “Eco-light Skirt Liner” is slowly but surely gaining recognition within the Australian mining industry. Whilst the main goal of any conveyor skirt liner is to survive the persistent wear from moving material for the longest possible time, it is also important to consider the cost and manual handling involved with installation of the skirt liner.

Australian mining companies including Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, Newcrest and Cliffs Asia Pacific have established the “Eco-light Skirt Liner” as the mine standard at conveyor transfer points, endorsing and acknowledging the attributes this mining conveyor product has to offer.

Two of the contributing factors making this product a viable option are the cost (up to 20% cheaper than a standard ni-hard liner) and it’s mass (30 – 40% lighter). Changing out conveyor skirt liners can be a chore at the best of times, the reduced mass of the “Eco-light Skirt Liner” makes the liner change out easier and safer.’
