The SKEGA Impact Bed is a specialized conveyor belt protection system designed for the mining and bulk material handling industries. It helps absorb impact forces and reduce wear caused by heavy or sharp materials falling onto conveyor belts, particularly at loading points. Here’s an overview of its features, benefits, and applications:

Key Features of SKEGA Impact Beds:
1. Shock Absorption
– Uses high-performance rubber or polyurethane bars to cushion the impact of falling material.
– Reduces belt damage from heavy loads (e.g., rocks, ores, coal).
2. Extended Belt Life
– Prevents cuts, tears, and gouging on the belt surface.
– Minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.
3. Modular Design
– Easy to install and replace individual components without removing the entire system.
– Adjustable for different belt widths and impact zones.
4. Low Friction & Self-Cleaning
– Smooth surface reduces friction, improving energy efficiency.
– Prevents material buildup that could cause belt misalignment.
5. Durability
– Resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and harsh mining environments.
– Suitable for high-tonnage operations.
Applications in Mining:
– Loading Points: Protects belts where material is dumped from trucks, crushers, or chutes.
– Transfer Stations: Shields belts at junctions between conveyors.
– Heavy-Duty Operations: Ideal for iron ore, coal, copper, and other abrasive materials.
Advantages Over Traditional Impact Bars:
– Longer lifespan than steel or ceramic impact bars.
– Quieter operation due to rubber dampening.
– Better sealing against dust and spillage.
Installation & Maintenance:
– Mounted beneath the conveyor belt at impact zones.
– Regular inspections ensure wear bars are replaced before excessive damage occurs.
