Going for gold in greenfield Transmin’s ConveyorPro range is targeting greenfield project supply in a new gold mine. A NEW MINE IS BEING DEVELOPED in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields. The estimated $226 million development is underpinned by the construction of a 4Mtpa processing plant, fed by the large open-pit and underground mine and complemented by a series of smaller satellite pits. Bulk materials handling equipment supplier Transmin was contracted to support the development of the plant through its ConveyorPro team. Amerander ‘Reddy’ Emmadi, Business Development Manager at ConveyorPro, said the company’s mission was to be a one-stop-shop for everything to do with conveyors. “For greenfield projects like this one we previously might have only done the belting, or the idlers, or the pulleys,” he said. “For this project, we could provide almost everything they needed – and that is something we have been aggressively focusing on.” ConveyorPro began as a brand about five years ago, following significant requests from Transmin’s customers to provide additional accessories.

impact beds and skirting modules for the goldfields project, which Emmadi said helped reduce overall costs and improves service. “When it comes to greenfield projects like this one, we can combine packages together to provide a competitive price for the client,” he said. “Lead times are also reduced, along with overhead costs. It’s also a lot easier for project managers to handle. “If you think about it, it’s a lot easier for one project manager to work with the one key account manager, instead of having to deal with four to five different suppliers for the same project. “Our nature as a one-stop-shop also means we can reduce the number of contractors on site, as our teams are the subject matter experts for all of our products. That means less site inductions and faster service.” Staff undergo monthly training with the different equipment in ConveyorPro’s range to help ensure they have the expertise required for field service work.
