Mining & Port Operations

Semperit has been active in the mining industry for more than 50 years. During that period, we have been able to acquire great experience concerning coal, copper and iron ore mining, as well as other fields of mineral resource extraction. Our expertise and reliability have long convinced major players in the mining industry all over the world to work with us.

For open-pit mines, Sempertrans supplies conveyor belt solutions that are adapted to the conveyor installation structure and the material to be conveyed, taking into account factors such as capacity, length, material and lump size. Our Sempertrans belts have especially high strength and wear resistance qualities to transport the extracted material in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.

As underground mining is often characterised by limited space and potentially combustible material due to the flammable atmosphere, Sempertrans provides conveyor belt solutions with special flame retardant materials and increased belt lifetime. These properties are critical to prevent frequent belt changes in harsh conditions.

Tunnels have the particularity of granting limited access and sometimes creating a flammable atmosphere. They are often several kilometres long, shaped in straight lines with a few curves. To cater for tunnelling projects, Sempertrans provides belts with the corresponding flame resistance, the capability to follow the curves of the tunnel and an economic use of energy.

Sempertrans successfully implemented the energy-saving belt TransEvo Ultra for surface mining and TransEvo-V for underground coal mining. These belts enable power savings of up to 25%, which is highly recommended in case of long-distance conveyance to reduce energy consumption.

To relieve our mining customers from the pressure of increasing their mine productivity, Sempertrans provides high-quality conveyor belts that are impact and abrasion resistant, perfectly suited to improve efficiency and safety performance.

Our conveyor belts are designed specifically to suit the environment the mines operate in – be it an underground mine or an outdoor installation, even in the most remote locations.
