A UK aggregate producer has recently installed a new in-feed conveyor to deliver stone to a large conveyor at a roadstone quarry in the Pennines, the site is on the Great Whin Sill, and impressive outcrop of rock provides the foundation for much of Hadrian’s Wall. When the new conveyor started to cause a build-up of material on an adjoining conveyor Deritend RMB was called in to provide a solution.

The new gearbox was able to increase the conveyor’s speed and match the load rating whilst maintaining the same input power of 75kW.
