A large open-pit coal mine in Indonesia operates several long-distance overland conveyors connecting mining areas, crushing facilities and downstream logistics.
Individual conveyor routes extend approximately 10 km and handle several thousand tonnes of coal per hour, making reliable belt performance critical to continuous production.
When sections of the existing conveyor belts entered their replacement cycle in 2024, BOTON was introduced as a new supplier. The challenge was not simply to meet a specification, but to integrate a new belt into a mature conveyor system with established operating and maintenance practices.
Following field validation, BOTON was subsequently selected for a second overland conveyor line, bringing cumulative supply to more than 30 km.
