BOTON participated in the conveyor system development of a world-scale iron ore project with a planned annual capacity of 120 million tonnes, supporting key ore conveying operations from mine production to downstream logistics.
Smart monitoring equipment was deployed for long-distance, steep-slope and high-load conveying conditions, helping shift maintenance from reactive repair to risk-based, predictive management.
BOTON established on-site service capabilities and supported local technical training through BOTON Academy, helping build a faster response network and long-term maintenance capability in Guinea.
BOTON provided an A-Z conveyor lifecycle service solution for the Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, covering belt supply, installation, pulley lagging, commissioning, monitoring, maintenance and operational support.
The project required reliable ore conveying across high-altitude mountainous terrain, long-distance transport routes and demanding construction conditions. BOTON supported both northern and southern mining blocks through high-strength conveyor belt products, smart monitoring systems and localized service resources.
The project operates in high-altitude mountainous terrain with long-distance routes, steep gradients and heavy-duty ore loads. These conditions place high demands on belt tensile strength, dynamic performance, splice reliability and overall system stability.
For a project of this scale, longitudinal tearing, splice issues or fatigue-related belt damage can lead to major production disruption. The conveying system required continuous monitoring and early risk detection to reduce the likelihood of unexpected shutdowns.
Large day-night temperature differences, distinct wet and dry seasons, limited infrastructure and remote site conditions increased the complexity of installation, commissioning and maintenance. The project also required a service model capable of fast on-site response and strong technical judgment.
BOTON provided end-to-end service support covering conveyor belt design, production, supply, installation, pulley lagging, commissioning, maintenance and operational support. For the northern blocks, BOTON supplied high-strength ST5400 and ST6300 steel cord conveyor belts for heavy-load mining applications, along with flexible belts for ore processing sections.
Smart monitoring equipment was deployed in the southern mining area to track longitudinal tear risks and splice condition in real time. By using operating data for early warning and maintenance planning, the service model shifted from post-failure repair to predictive maintenance.
BOTON deployed professional technical teams on site to support installation, commissioning and lifecycle maintenance. Through local service resources and BOTON Academy training programs, the project built a localized technical support network designed to improve response speed and long-term service capability.
