Philford is delighted to have won the contract to supply Maltby Colliery’s North East 5 conveyor system.

The proposed system will use a 1000kW major drive at 1500mm width. This will be combined with a heavy-duty remote delivery head end and a single lap maintenance loop. All of which will be roof mounted using Philford’s tried-and-tested unique designs for roof mounting of conveyor systems. 

The overall length of the full conveyor system will be in the region of 1500 metres and will incorporate a Philford-designed return end.

Production and Sales Manager Stephen Horsfield explained that Philford’s high-level expertise has enabled Maltby Colliery to keep costs to a minimum. He said: “Our unrivalled experience in the repair and remanufacture of used mechanical equipment has greatly reduced the overall expense of installing this major project.

“Furthermore, by combining the use of similar equipment already in use in other areas of the mine we have reduced the need for additional spares to be held, so reducing costs still further.”
