🌿 #Throwback to Beltcon 10! 🌿 Back then, we delved deep into a crucial issue: The impact of industry on nature's delicate equilibrium. Our discussions highlighted the unintended consequences of human activity on the environment, particularly in the context of overland conveyors. Mr Hector N. Dreyer acknowledged the necessity of economic growth and job creation but emphasized the importance of how it is achieved. The paper presented dissected the three phases of a conveyor system's life and their respective environmental impacts: * Construction Phase * Running the System * Shut Down and Rehabilitation Instead of dwelling on the negatives, we focused on the innovative solutions developed by engineers to ensure a harmonious coexistence between industrial progress and nature. These solutions aimed to minimize the environmental footprint of overland conveyors. Fast forward to today, how have things changed? Have we made significant strides in balancing industrial growth with ecological preservation? What new technologies and practices have emerged to further this cause? Share your thoughts and experiences! Let's continue the conversation on sustainable industrial practices and their role in preserving our planet. 🌍 #EnvironmentalSustainability #IndustrialInnovation #Beltcon #Throwback #EcoFriendly #SustainableGrowth #Conveyors #EngineeringForNature

Presented at Beltcon 20 by Mr Paul Schutte ON The Design and Operation of Overland Conveyors. Conveyor belts are efficient for moving bulk materials short to medium distances. Overland conveyors, enabled by advancing technology, now span longer distances. The below paper lists some of the world's longest belt conveyors. What are your thoughts?
