Kinder Australia has further strengthened its partnership with Boral, recently delivering a hands-on conveyor condition monitoring training session at the Nunawading site.
Led by Field Applications Specialist Peter Laskey, the session brought together maintenance staff, fitters, and area managers for a practical deep dive into conveyor performance.
The training program centred on three key aspects of conveyor efficiency / preventative maintenance:
- Belt Cleaning – improving system reliability and reducing carryback.
- Transfer Points – ensuring smoother material flow and minimising spillage.
- Belt Tracking – maintaining alignment to extend belt and component life.
Participants also explored Kinder’s mobile demo trailer, where they could see proven solutions and learn how to address common operational challenges. “These sessions encourage everyone to re-examine current performance and look for ways to improve” says Shaun McIlduff, Boral Concrete Maintenance Manager.
“Sessions like these help teams build confidence in spotting and addressing problems early, which goes a long way towards reducing downtime and improving safety,” said Mr Laskey.
Now celebrating 40 years of innovation, Kinder Australia remains committed to more than just supplying quality conveyor equipment. Education and upskilling are central to this milestone, with customised onsite training designed to empower teams, improve safety, and maximise system performance.
