Big Roller Overland Conveyor Company’s Post

Big Roller Overland Conveyor Company are excited to announce that we have partnered with Tribotech Pty. Ltd. to develop the world’s first 20”, 20 kg idler roller suitable for a 1500mm wide conveyor belt, the most common belt size for 25-40MTPA throughput commonly output from larger Jaw and Gyratory Crushers and to invest in tooling to scale up their existing production processes for the initial commercial product run of 50 rollers. “We scoured the world for suitable roller product that met the requirements to achieve the design criteria and found it right here on our doorstep in WA. We went through a rigorous evaluation process of the roller manufacturing industry, including undertaking independent testing of key roller attributes necessary to achieving the design and selected Tribotech Pty. Ltd. nylon rollers on that basis. They exceeded all our stringent and demanding metrics on engineering knowledge and manufacturing know how, manufacturing quality and product performance,” said Shawn Ryan, Big Roller Overland Conveyor Company Founder and Executive Director. The scope of works will be performed under Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) Grant (M10549) and includes the design, manufacture and testing of an initial run of commercial roller products. This contract will demonstrate the roller manufacturing processes can produce a product that complies with international SANS / TUNRA Bulk Solids standards and further validates and expands upon the energy efficiency hypothesis of greater than 30% reduction in the energy required for horizonal material movement already demonstrated for a 16” test roller on Continental's Low Rolling Resistance Eco Plus pulley cover compound. We look forward to working with Tribotech Pty. Ltd. and having 3rd party validated commercial roller products available for the market in Q1 2025 for use in Big Roller™ Idler Frames and Big Roller™ Ground Modules. Big Roller Overland Conveyor Company seek to engage with progressive mining companies both locally and abroad to perform paid field trials of the suspended 3 roll offset idler frames and rollers which are interchangeable with existing OEM designs. Reach out to engage with our early adopter program at sales@bigrollerolc.com if your mining company or its engineering representatives are interested in participating in the revolutionary work that will change the mining industry’s approach to Bulk Materials Movement. #conveyorrevolution #getonwithit #decarbonisation #realinnovation #commercialisation #realzero #thinkdifferently #netzero #findingbetterways CEMAconveyor Rethink Mining Centro Nacional de Pilotaje | CNP Austmine AusIMM
