Latest Conveyor Technology Innovation in Western Australia: ScrapeTec and KINDER Join Forces for Cleaner, Safer, More Profitable Belt Operations
Western Australia represents industrial scale like few other regions. In the iron ore districts of the Pilbara, as well as in gold and lithium operations and port and handling facilities, conveyor systems run around the clock—across kilometre-long routes, in harsh climatic conditions, and at very high throughputs. At this magnitude, conveyor performance is no longer only about productivity; it is increasingly about compliance, safety, and the industry’s social licence to operate.
Operator requirements have shifted noticeably in recent years. In addition to availability and tonnage, occupational safety, environmental regulations, dust management, emissions reduction, and sustainable plant operation have moved to the centre of attention. This is precisely where a new distribution partnership targets the Australian market for sealing systems and dust control in conveying: ScrapeTec in Germany and the KINDER Group in Australia.
Under the partnership, KINDER assumes distribution of ScrapeTec sealing systems and technologies in the Australian market. In practice, this brings a specialised European portfolio into Western Australia’s major mining and conveying regions through an established local provider—with a clear intent: to help operators measurably improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and minimise maintenance.
