Come see us at Annual Conference in this week.
📍 Stand 338 👋

It's the first day of International Association of Operative Millers Annual Conference & Expo, and we can't wait to talk tech and handling! Let's learn, connect and grow together with tools like:

🔰Jumbo 20x10 buckets for high throughput
🔰IE-Node for lower electrical costs and labor
🔰Polysur Ferro belts for less downtime
🔰HazardMon.com for real-time monitoring

We're just getting started—get a custom solution when you stop by booth 338!

🔧 Tech Tip: Why Use Manganese Wear Rails?

In high-abrasion chain conveyor applications, material choice has a direct impact on uptime and maintenance.

Manganese steel work hardens under impact and load, creating a surface that becomes increasingly resistant to wear while maintaining a tough, ductile core.

👉 What does this mean in practice?

Extended service life of conveyor casings and bottom plates
Reduced wear in high-impact areas
Lower maintenance and downtime
Improved efficiency through low-friction operation

Manganese wear rails provide a durable running surface for drag chain conveyors, helping protect critical components and improve overall system reliability.

Most bucket elevator problems aren’t caused by speed ⚙️

They’re caused by geometry 📐

The relationship between bucket projection and pulley diameter plays a huge role in discharge performance - and getting it wrong can lead to:

🔄 Material carryback
⚠️ Poor discharge efficiency
📉 Reduced throughput

It’s one of those issues that’s easy to miss, but can have a big impact on performance over time.

In our latest whitepaper, we break down why the 3:1 ratio matters and how pulley size affects material movement.

Have you come across discharge issues like this before?

Belt misalignment is a leading cause of wear, heat build-up and unscheduled downtime on conveyors and bucket elevators. The 4B Touchswitch provides direct, mechanical misalignment detection for applications where accuracy and reliability are critical.

When the belt or pulley moves off-line, the sensor makes positive contact and sends an immediate alarm or shutdown signal. No calibration, no drift and no false triggers.

Key technical points:
• Mechanical actuation for consistent response
• Easy integration with PLCs and safety circuits
• Suitable for both belt conveyors and bucket elevators
