Moving large quantities of materials long distances requires a special type of conveyor designed by a special kind of company. FMC Technologies has supplied conveyors up to two miles long and has been in operation over 20 years.
In the power and mining industries, moving large quantities of material long distances reliably is an everyday necessity. FMC Technologies has been building such systems since the 1920's. As you might imagine, engineering expertise and experience are critical in making these high-powered systems run day in and day out. Using belt conveyors to bring ore and coal from the mines to processing plants or power plants has been proven to be an efficient method of transportation. These conveyors can follow most terrains and have little or no impact on the environment. Operating and maintenance costs are low and they are extremely safe to operate.
