As part of this, Australian Conveyor Engineering (ACE) will deliver four maingate conveyors to Kestrel’s mine in Emerald. This includes all mechanical and electrical engineered equipment, alongside Fenner manufactured conveyor belting.
Fenner Australia has completed an acquisition of 100% ownership of Conveyor Products & Solutions Pty Ltd (CPS).

ACE has developed an underground dewatering system that increases residence time and water removal capabilities.
Respirable dust is a constant underground obstacle, particularly in coal mining operations where dust particles are often so small they’re not visible to the naked eye.
Safety is at the forefront of everything Fenner does. Following a big safety win at the prospect awards earlier this year, the company has put its focus on managing fatigue within its employee network.
Fenner Conveyors can manufacture and supply complete conveyor systems from head-to-tail – all done in-house. Where the company is really shining its competitive advantage though, is its commitment to safety.

Fenner’s new Usflex super-heavy-duty belt can withstand some of the toughest environments the iron ore industry can throw at it.
With the increasing awareness of the risks associated with respirable dust in underground coal mines, mining companies have been progressively introducing more and more water into the underground environment in an effort to manage the risk.
Due to nature of the mining process, the majority of this water makes its way onto the mines conveyor system, creating major spillage issues along with material degradation. Traditional ‘fixed’ de-watering systems are ineffective at removing these large quantities of water from the conveyors.
