Copper Mining Conveyor Belt Solution in Oman | Kilomega EP500/4 DIN-X Belt

Project Overview

In 2025, a large copper mining operation in Oman partnered with Kilomega to upgrade its bulk material handling system. The existing conveyor belts transporting crushed copper ore from the primary crushing station to the concentrator plant suffered from severe abrasion, belt tracking problems, and frequent maintenance interruptions.

The harsh desert environment, combined with sharp and abrasive copper ore, significantly reduced belt lifespan and increased operating costs.

The customer required a reliable heavy-duty EP conveyor belt solution capable of delivering long-term performance under continuous mining conditions.
