Conveyor Solutions by Industry
Conveyor Solutions for Steel Mills
Sinter, coke, ore and slag run hot, heavy and abrasive. We supply high-temperature friction idlers, cage-type slag-discharge pulleys, oil-cooled motorised pulleys, iron-sealed housings and belt safety devices built for the harshest mill duty.

Why This Industry Is Different
Four Sector-Specific Conveyor Challenges
Every bulk solid wears conveyors differently. Below are the duty conditions we engineer against for this sector.
High-Temperature Material
Sinter and coke arrive hot enough to degrade ordinary rollers and belts.
Slag & Molten Carryover
Cage-type discharge and clinker demand pulleys that survive extreme abrasion and heat.
Harsh Abrasion & Heat
Scale, ore and dust combine to wear shells, seals and scrapers rapidly.
Unscheduled Downtime
A failed belt on a caster or sinter line stops production worth far more than the part.
Matched to Your Duty
Products for This Sector
Each component below is selected for the duty described above. Click through for specifications, materials and lead times.
Heat-Resistant Idlers
Friction Idler
Friction (anti-slip) idler for hot, demanding belt sections.
Troughing Idler
Standard carrying set for main belts; matched to belt width and trough angle.
Discharge & Motorised Pulleys
Cage-type Slag Discharge Pulley
Open-cage pulley that sheds slag and survives extreme abrasion.
Oil-cooled Motorized Pulley
Sealed drum motor — no external drive, ideal for harsh, compact spaces.
Iron Seals & Cleaning
Iron Seal
Rugged iron seal for heavy, high-abrasion mill duty.
Primary Scraper Cleaner
Removes bulk coal carryback at the head pulley.
Protect the Line
Spring Training Idler Set
Self-aligning set that corrects mistracking under load.
Belt Slippage Detector
Trips the drive on slip — preventing fire and belt damage.

Common Questions
Sector Conveyor FAQ
Do you have idlers for hot sinter and coke?
Our friction (anti-slip) idlers are specified for hot, demanding belt sections such as sinter and coke handling where ordinary rollers degrade.
What pulley handles slag discharge?
The cage-type slag-discharge pulley is an open design that sheds slag and survives the extreme abrasion and heat of slag duty.
Is a motorised pulley suitable for steel environments?
The oil-cooled motorised pulley is fully sealed with no external drive — ideal for harsh, space-limited mill locations.
How do you prevent belt fires from slip?
A belt-slippage detector trips the drive on slip before heat builds, preventing fire and belt damage on continuous mill lines.
