Conveyors

Lakeland Steel Limited specialises in the manufacture of custom conveying systems. We offer heavy-duty belt conveyors for bulk handling applications. The right material handling system can add automation and fluidity to any application. Reclaiming equipment and load out systems are all available. Lakeland Steel Ltd belt conveyors and conveyor systems are engineered around your unique application to ensure the best handling solution possible.

Advantages of Belt Conveyors:

• Cost effective way to move material long distances
• Virtually no degradation of your product caused by conveying
• The conveyor can have changes in elevation
• The material can be visible on the belt while being conveyed
• Belts can be loaded virtually any place along the belt.
• Belt conveyors can have metal separators designed in.
• Weigh belt sections can be added for continuous product weighing.
• Belt conveyors can pivot at one end allowing the discharge to be moved over an arc (radial stacking).
• Incline belts can have cleats added to the belt to stop product roll back.
• Belts can have sidewalls added to stop product spillage

Applications:

• Woodchip and bark handling for sawmills, pulp and paper mills
• Quarry, sand & aggregates
• Scrap metal
• Bulk warehousing of granular products such as fertiliser and stock food

Drag conveyors are a great complement to screw conveyors and belt conveyors and a requirement of many bulk material handling applications. Drag conveyors can be used to meter or transfer bulk materials from one process to another. The compact and versatile design allows drag conveyors to fit almost any plant layout.

Advantages of Drag Conveyors:

• Ideal for handling dry, free-flowing materials
• Materials are static and move en-masse by flights or chain
• Minimal product degradation during conveying
• Require less horsepower than other types of conveyors

Applications:

• Woodchip, sawdust and bark handling for sawmills, pulp and paper mills
• Compost
• Grain
• Stock food

Features:

• Enclosed type conveyors to suppress dust and safe for personnel
• Can be installed horizontally or inclined
• Fixed or variable speed electronic drive transmissions
• Hardened steel components for long life expectancy
• Can also be used to extract/unload material from hoppers

Screw conveyors are typically a cost-effective way to convey bulk materials. Bulk material handling challenges are not a problem with augers, screw conveyors and bulk material handling systems from Lakeland Steel Limited. No matter your industry or material, we can design, build and deliver the right screw conveyor system for you. Lakeland Steel Limited delivers quality screw conveyors, augers and bulk material handling systems at competitive prices.

Advantages of Screw/Auger Conveyors:

• Capable of handling a great variety of bulk materials from sluggish to free-flowing.
• Can have multiple inlet and discharge points. Bulk materials can be conveyed and distributed to various locations as required. Slide gates or valves can be added to control the flow into and out of a screw conveyor.
• Screw conveyors are very compact and adaptable to congested locations. Screw conveyors do not have a return similar to a belt or drag conveyor.
• Totally enclosed to contain the product and prevent spillage. Screw conveyors can be utilized in the horizontal, vertical or any inclined position depending upon
• Can be used for mixing various products together and for breaking up large lumps.
• Can be used to cool, heat or dry products in transit. Depending on the heat transfer requirements, a screw conveyor can be jacketed, or a hollow-flight design utilized to provide the necessary heat transfer for the application.

Applications:

• Food processing
• Timber and wood products
• Mining and minerals processing
• Agricultural applications
• Primary metals
• Pulp and paper
• Rubber and plastics
• Stone, glass and concrete
• Environmental

Vibrating conveyors provide an efficient, multi-functional method of conveying and processing different sized bulk materials, including larger and longer pieces of processed wood. Their design ensures consistently high conveying speeds even under high loads.

Advantages of Vibrating Conveyors:

• Can readily handle hot or abrasive materials
• Handles fragile materials without degradation
• Can be fitted with metal detectors
• Smooth continuous trough – no pockets for material to accumulate in or jamming of material
• Conveyor is normally self-cleaning
• No return strand to carry over
• Simple construction with minimum number of moving parts
• Moving parts are not in contact with material
• Minimum safety hazard to persons working on or near the conveyor
• They can easily handle long and short wood such as slabs, edgings, trim-ends, chips, sawdust and bark

Applications:

• Biomass and Energy systems
• Forestry and sawmill applications
• Waste material handling

Products:

• Heavy duty vibrating infeed conveyors
• Heavy duty vibrating screening conveyors
• Balanced waste conveyors
• Vibrating floor conveyors
