Engineered Conveyor Solutions for Mining Applications

Fenner Conveyors, your reliable partner for all conveyor engineering solutions in mining applications.

Specialised to Australian Mining

For over a century, Fenner Conveyors has been a trusted partner to the Australian mining industry. Today, our expanded capabilities, advanced engineering, and dedicated specialist team allow us to deliver complete, end-to-end conveyor solutions—tailored to any mine site, mineral, or operating condition.

Fenner Conveyors systems and field service personnel support mining operations across Australia and beyond in iron ore, gold, coal, lead, zinc, magnesium, manganese and industrial mineral sites.

We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a full, turnkey conveyor solution, from design and engineering, to installation, to full service and support. This includes every aspect of the conveyor, including custom compound conveyor belts, idlers, rollers, pulleys, and any and all belt handling equipment you may require.

Custom Compound Solutions

One of Fenner Conveyors' greatest capabilities is our ability to develop, manufacture, install, and rapidly iterate upon custom belt compounds, incorporating resistance to cut & gouge, abrasion, acidic processing, or whatever challenges your site may be faced with.

Lifecycle Support

Beyond installation, Fenner provides ongoing service support to maximise conveyor performance. Our maintenance teams utilise specialised lifting and maintenance equipment developed specifically for a variety of mine types. Our equipment enables safer and more efficient servicing, supported by our expert service technicians.

Commodity-Specific Conveyor Solutions

Every mined material presents unique mechanical challenges, from severe abrasion and high-impact loading to strict underground safety regulations. Fenner Conveyors engineers specialised belting and component systems tailored to the distinct operational demands of Australia’s primary commodity sectors.

Engineered for extreme impact, heavy loading, and high-tonnage. Our heavy-duty steel cord and wear-resistant cover compounds minimise gouging and belt wear in iron ore environments.

Fully compliant with AS 4606 standards for underground and surface coal operations. Features fire-resistant, anti-static (FRAS) properties designed to maximise safety and operational longevity.

Formulated to resist chemical exposure, fine material carryback, and continuous cycling in hard-rock processing plants and crushing circuits.

Custom-designed for heavy primary crushing and high-tension processing loops where cut, gouge, and rip resistance are critical to preventing unplanned downtime.

    Technical Standards, Quality & Safety Compliance

    At Fenner Conveyors, safety and performance are engineered into every conveyor belt and component we manufacture. Our products are fully tested and certified to comply with rigorous Australian (AS) and international ISO standards, ensuring maximum operational reliability and safety across surface and underground mining operations.

    Certified Australian Manufacturing & Testing

    From fire-resistant anti-static (FRAS) belting for underground coal to high-tensile steel cord belting for overland iron ore transport, our manufacturing facilities adhere to strict Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management Standards (ISO 14001).

    Fenner Conveyors' Experience in Mining

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of conveyor belts are best suited for heavy mining applications?

    Heavy-duty mining applications typically require Steel Cord conveyor belts for long-distance, high-tension overland conveying, or Ply Belting for tough primary crushing and processing loops. The choice depends on material abrasiveness, impact load, and operating temperature.

    Are Fenner conveyor belts compliant with Australian mining safety standards?

    Yes. All Fenner mining conveyor belting and components are manufactured to strictly comply with Australian Standards (including AS 4606 for underground fire-resistant anti-static requirements and AS 1332 for general textile belting).

    Can Fenner supply custom conveyor engineering for specific mineral applications?

    Absolutely. Fenner provides complete end-to-end conveyor solutions, from custom belt compounding and structural design to intelligent monitoring systems like RipSaver and CordScan tailored to iron ore, coal, gold, and mineral sands operations.

    How do I determine the right belt cover compound for abrasive ore handling?

    Selecting the right compound requires assessing material lump size, drop height, temperature, and chemical exposure. Fenner's technical team conducts material impact audits to match your operation with optimal wear and cut-resistant compounds.
