Skirting System Upgrade
A long term hard rock customer was having major dust and spillage issues due to the premature wear and failure of the skirting system. Skirting wall and rubber would both quickly wear to failure well before a scheduled maintenance window resulting in excessive unplanned maintenance and parts costs.

Belt Flake & Installation
Splicetech Mudgee was awarded the opportunity to complete a critical path drift belt changeout – a project spanning 7.8km of conveyor belt. Stage one saw the belt lapped out, with the full stage two changeout then completed within a tight four-day window.
CV108 Weartec Blade Trial
Splicetech recommended a trial based on some exceptional polyurethane wear results achieved by One Industries Weartec across other customer sites with similar belt widths, speeds and material resulting in an increase in conveyor efficiency and cost saving.
Light Weight Rollers
A long term customer approached Splice Tech wanting to improve roller reliability and safety for their workforce. Weartech composite rollers were recommended, and a trial period was set with light weight rollers installed in impact areas on ship loaders, reclaimers and yard belts.
