Belt Conveyor Dewatering Systems
The Conveyor Dewatering Systems effectively remove water from the coal stream on any mine site. The systems are highly customisable and are designed to suit the exact needs of each customer
Remove water from conveyors.
Our belt conveyor dewatering systems prevent costly and potentially hazardous issues such as conveyor belts being over-run with water as well as water wrecking conveyor rollers.
Preventing drift conveyor spillage is an important work health and safety (WHS) measure.
In coal mines, conveyor dewatering systems remove water from the coal stream to improve coal quality.
When material has been transported any distance on a belt conveyor it starts to divide, with larger lump content moving to the top and the slimes and water to the bottom.
Key benefits of Brain Industries's Dewatering Systems
- Improve coal quality
- Remove excessive water on coal conveyors which results in material slough back and spillage on inclined belts.
- Retain discharge control by reducing water discharged into coal bins
- Control material movement on conveyors and from bins
- Improve productivity and profitability by reducing downtime, equipment damage, additional cleanups, corrosion and additional operation costs.
Special features of our Dewatering Systems include:
- Stainless steel wet areas
- Dewatering screen is not in the main flow, minimising screen impact damage
- Screen is reversible for increased life
- Main flow chute fitted with replaceable liners
- Scraper access platforms
- Allows passage of oversize lumps
Dewatering Screens & Underground Cyclonic Dewatering Systems
Our underground mine dewatering equipment eliminates excess water, particularly where it causes problems on steep drift conveyor belts or in underground storage bins. Our systems also remove solids from the water, so it can be handled by the mine’s regular water pump-out system without damage to pumps or pipelines.
Pulley Lagging
What is pulley lagging?
Pulley lagging is a coating, cover or wearing surface applied to the shells of both drive pulleys and non-drive pulleys. The lagging protects the pulley shell (and can also protect conveyor belts) from abrasion. It extends the life of the pulley because the wearing surface (lagging) can be replaced for less cost than the pulley or conveyor belt. Lagging is also used to improve the friction between the belt and the pulley. Drive pulleys are often rubber lagged for this reason. Extend the life of your pulley.
Four types of Brain lagging in a range of sizes to suit your needs.
Polyurethane Rubber
Backing
Ceramic Rubber
Backing
Hot Cast
Polyurethane
Natural Rubber
Backing
Correct design and installation of lagging is critical otherwise it can create more damage to pulleys. When using rubberbacked lagging the bond between the rubber and other substance (eg ceramic) is critical. Brain’s bonding strength is above industry standard.

Ceramic Wear Liners
Reduce the cost of maintaining and replacing conveyor chutes. Brain Ceramic Wear Liners help make conveyor chutes and material transfer points last longer.
Also known as Protection Liners, wear liners are ceramic panels moulded to steel backing plates.
- Bolted into high wear application
- Customised, modular
- Fits intricate shapes
- Retrofittable
Mounting Cushions
A clean conveyor belt is essential to protect one of your most expensive assets. The best way to ensure full belt width cleaning is to use Brain Mounting Cushions
You need a clean conveyor belt to protect expensive conveyor systems. The best way to ensure full belt width cleaning is to use Brain Industries’ mounting cushions.
Often material fines cling to the conveyor belt past the unloading point. The residual material carries back on the return side of the conveyor leading to excessive wear on conveyor components, build up on return idlers, misalignment of the belt and adverse effects on the conveyor operation.
How Does a Mounting Cushion Work?
A conveyor belt cleaner removes material from the return side of the belt. Brain Industries’ stainless steel mounting cushions make sure your belt cleaner tips move independently and align to maintain the correct tip to belt pressure. This ensures your cleaner tips work properly even on belt surfaces that are worn or imperfect.
Why Use Mounting Cushions From Brain Industries?
- Brain’s Mounting Cushions are produced to the highest standards to provide consistent rubber compression rates and the exclusion of voids during the moulding process
- Brain’s rubber compound formulation prevents compression set
- Consistent rubber compression rates
- No voids during the moulding process
- Full stainless steel construction, including the fasteners, and exceptional rubber to metal bond strength - so they last longer.
Brain Industries' Tungsten Carbide Tips
Brain’s Tungsten Carbide Tips maximise the service life of your conveyor belt cleaners.
The other way to maximise the service life and effectiveness of your conveyor belt cleaners is to use Brain Industries’ Tungsten Carbide Tips.
Our Tungsten Carbide Tips are made using stainless steel to prevent corrosion. They provide high levels of resistance to abrasion and maximum resistance to carbide corrosion in environments with high acid or salt.
Brain Industries’ Tungsten Carbide Tips are designed for H, P and T belt cleaners used on sliced belts with good belt cover. Talk to us about solutions for belts with running mechanical fasteners.
Pure genius Tungsten Carbide Tips from Brain Industries
- Brain’s Tungsten Carbide Tips provide high levels of resistance to abrasion and maximum resistance to carbide corrosion in environments with high acid or salt
- The tips and fasteners are completely stainless steel
- Unlike painted or plated mild steel tips, Brain’s stainless steel tip bodies will not corrode which helps with site maintenance
