Product Description
Krupp Fordertechnik supplied heavy-duty overland and in-plant conveyor systems to iron-ore, taconite, and hard-rock mining operations, including large-tonnage installations that connected pits to concentrators.

Blade changes and brake servicing allegedly released fibers along conveyor galleries.
