Essroc Lehigh Nazareth Overland Conveyor
Essroc Project Design included mechanical design, control design, chute design, and capstan brake supply. We installed a new control system completely replacing the original system the conveyor was commissioned with. We also added brakes and supplied a take-up capstan brake. Furthermore, we updated the belt specifications and analyzed failed pulleys.
