Belt conveyors have maintenance needs, operation limitations, and they can pose hazards to workers. 

This webinar covers best practices for belt height, length, and skirtboard spacing to reduce wear and fugitive material.     

This webinar covers the basics of conveyor belts and is a must-see for those who have not worked with conveyors in the past. 

This webinar covers the 9 most critical points of inspecting a conveyor belt. Learn the make-or-break inspection point of belt conveyors!

Martin Engineering has both the expertise and the components to get your belts back on track.

Learn about the different kinds of plows used for a variety of purposes on bulk material handling conveyors.

Take a deep dive into belt cleaner selection to be sure you understand how to effectively clean a belt.

We’ll share tactics that have proved successful in cleaning belts in pulp and paper mills. 

Learn new techniques to control carryback that can have an immediate impact on your conveyors’ performance.

If your facility has ever experienced belt mistracking or carryback, it may be due to errors at the head pulley.

Air Cannons can free up staff time, reduce manpower, increase productivity, improve equipment utilization, and enhance safety. 

Proper selection, installation, and use of a vibrator can maximize production, reduce downtime, and increase safety for your operation. 

Using the correct nozzle can mitigate material buildup to maximize production rates, minimize downtime, and reduce installation and maintenance requirements.

We will discuss the proper application of vibrators to efficiently stimulate the continued flow of material AND eliminate damage to bins, hoppers, and chutes.

Air cannons help safely restore material flow and in turn, reduce costs.

Optimize your current system’s performance.

The Easiest Way to Ensure Consistent, High-Quality Finished Product

Air Cannons prevent buildups and obstructions by releasing controlled yet powerful bursts of air without risking damage to equipment.

In the winter, it is particularly dangerous to use hammers and other methods of getting wet or frozen material moving again. Properly sized and applied vibrators will keep things moving.

In this webinar, we'll discuss how to optimize material flow through bins, hoppers, and chutes using properly sized and applied vibrators.

Implementing passive dust control tactics on conveyor transfer points can meet acceptable dust levels while reducing costs.

This webinar will focuses on existing dusty conveyor belt transfer points.

Dust & spillage creates environmental & health concerns, premature equipment failure, safety hazards, lost material, and increased cleanup costs. 

Conveyor dust and spillage, found at a load zone, can be reduced with proper maintenance. 

Discover what you need to know, and may have to do, to reduce dust and avoid potential citations. 

As dust control becomes more important, techniques to reduce dust must be better understood.

Belt conveyors are very effective but also dangerous if not treated with caution. Unfortunately, almost every day workers are harmed while working around conveyors. 

Tragically, a miner was fatally injured in February when pulled into the belt conveyor's tail pulley. In this webinar, we discuss the risks workers face in relation to tail pulleys. 

Mike has helped plants & mines reduce the risk of injury preventing accidents and educating employees on the risks of the job.

We discuss personality profiles, how they affect people's behavior, and how using style mirroring/flexing can improve your business relationships. 

Guards are effective additions to protect from the risk of conveyor injury. Elevate your knowledge and enhance the safety culture within your organization.

Addressing change can be difficult but it doesn’t need to be. Success depends on staff understanding, buying into, and supporting change.

Check out this thought-provoking interview with Martin Engineering’s Safety Manager, where we’ll discuss how you could evolve your people's and company’s safety culture. 

When you need to confront peers at work, you might worry about it creating tension, hurt feelings, and unproductiveness. 

We'll discuss how Martin Engineering addresses safety topics, such as; hazardous communication, priorities vs. value, lockout-tagout, situational awareness, confined space, and electrical safety.

We'll discuss logical and practical techniques to protect workers. There are a lot of different ways facilities try to protect workers from conveyor pinch points that can cause serious injury.  

We review the recently published ANSI/ASME B20.1-2024 and discuss how it applies to bulk material handling conveyors and why designers and operators should be familiar with the OSHA conveyor safety standard.

Essential Conveyor Guarding Techniques - Gain a comprehensive understanding of the importance of effective conveyor guarding, learn best practices, and discover innovative solutions to enhance safety.

NSSGA advances public policies that protect and expand the safe, environmentally responsible use of aggregates that build America’s infrastructure and economy. 

For nearly 20 years, Martin Engineering’s FOUNDATIONS™ The Practical Resources for Cleaner, Safer, More Productive Dust and Material Control- Fourth Edition, Martin Engineering (2009) has taught industry personnel to operate and maintain clean and safe belt conveyors. The book includes a thorough discussion on topics and techniques for enhancing the performance of belt conveyors.
