To kick off 2026, we’re sharing a recent quarry success story from New South Wales that clearly demonstrates the value of the Eraser™ Primary Belt Cleaner in a high-demand aggregate application.
The Problem
A major asphalt production quarry was dealing with:
- Severe carryback and spillage
- Ongoing manual clean-up
- Component damage, including head pulley bearings
- Unplanned downtime
The 750BW conveyor had no primary belt cleaner installed, allowing material buildup to escalate into costly maintenance issues.
The Solution
Kinder recommended the Eraser™ Primary Belt Cleaner, designed for heavy-duty quarry environments and equipped with a torque-style tensioning system for consistent, low-maintenance belt contact.
✅ Installed in just 3 hours.
✅ Minor fabrication only.
✅ Faster, simple commissioning.
The Results
✅ Immediate elimination of carryback and spillage.
✅ ~$1,000 saved per fortnight in reduced clean-up labour.
✅ Less wear on equipment and reduced downtime
✅ Minimal ongoing maintenance
This project reinforces the Eraser™ Primary Belt Cleaner as a proven solution for quarries and extractive sites looking for fast ROI, reduced labour and clean-up costs, improved conveyor reliability and reduced labour and clean-up costs.
The customer is now planning to roll out the Eraser™ cleaner across additional conveyors.
