Energy Industry
For coal-fired power stations, continuously feeding coal to the plant is crucial and consequently conveyor belts are the lifeblood of their operations. They transport coal, ash, and other materials across vast distances, keeping the wheels of power generation turning. But these belts face constant challenges that lead to wear, tear, and costly downtime.
Lutze understands these challenges intimately and offers solutions that deliver tangible benefits to energy producers.
Let's delve into some pain points and discover how Lutze can help overcome them
Abrasive materials take their toll
Coal, ash, and other minerals are notoriously abrasive, causing rapid wear on belt covers and components. This leads to belt damage, material spillage, and production stoppages for repairs.
High-performance belts, wear liners and skirting systems have therefore been engineered to withstand extreme abrasion. Reduced belt replacements, downtime minimization, and less material loss, will always translate into significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
Misalignment wreaks havoc
Improper belt alignment can cause edge wear, tracking issues, and even catastrophic belt failures. This not only increases maintenance costs but also poses safety risks.
Comprehensive alignment systems, including self-tracking idlers and alignment tools, ensure optimal belt tracking and tension. We offer expertise in installation and maintenance to keep your belts aligned and running smoothly. These solutions will offer you extended belt life, reduced maintenance costs, improved safety, and optimized material flow for increased uptime.

Dust creates a messy, unhealthy and costly problem
Fugitive dust from conveyor belts poses environmental and health concerns. It also reduces operational efficiency and increases cleaning costs.
We offer dust-suppression solutions for various materials and applications. As a result you will enjoy improved air quality, reduced environmental impact, compliance with regulations, and lower cleaning costs, all contributing to a safer and more sustainable operation.
