Go-Belt® Technology
Proprietary Balanced Cutter Technology for Reliable Representative Sampling
Go-Belt® Sampling Systems feature proprietary mechanically balanced cutter technology designed to reduce operating loads, minimise wear and deliver reliable representative sampling for metallurgical accounting applications.
Section 1
Representative Sampling
The Go-Belt® sampling system extracts a complete cross-sectional sample from the full width of the material stream on a moving conveyor belt. This approach ensures that every particle in the stream has an equal probability of being selected, eliminating the bias inherent in grab sampling or partial-stream methods.
Full Cross-Stream Sampling
The cutter traverses the entire width of the conveyor belt, collecting a complete cross-sectional slice of the material stream for true representation.
Equal Probability Selection
Every particle in the material stream has an equal chance of being sampled, delivering unbiased results suitable for metallurgical accounting.
Metallurgical Accounting Suitability
Accurate mass balance calculations and recovery reporting depend on representative samples — the Go-Belt® delivers the quality required.
Process Control Applications
Real-time sampling data enables informed operational decisions, feed grade optimisation and effective plant performance monitoring.
Section 2
Balanced Cutter Technology
The Go-Belt® range incorporates proprietary mechanically balanced cutter technology. This engineered approach delivers significant operational benefits without compromising sampling performance.
Proprietary technology — benefits described, mechanical details not disclosed.
Reduced Drive Loading
Lower power requirements and reduced stress on drive components.
Smooth Operation
Consistent motion profile reduces vibration and mechanical shock during operation.
Consistent Cutter Velocity
Uniform cutter speed ensures reliable and repeatable sample extraction every cycle.
Reduced Structural Loading
Minimised forces transferred to support structure and conveyor system.
Improved Reliability
Fewer mechanical stresses lead to extended component life and increased uptime.
Lower Maintenance
Reduced wear and tear translates to fewer interventions and lower life-cycle costs.
Section 3
Designed for Mining
Every Go-Belt® sampling system is engineered for the demanding conditions encountered in mining and mineral processing operations. From material selection to structural design, every component is chosen for durability and long service life.
Abrasion-Resistant Wear Protection
Hard-faced and abrasion-resistant materials are used in all wear zones to extend operational life in abrasive environments.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Robust structural steel fabrication designed to withstand the rigours of continuous industrial operation.
Low-Maintenance Design
Minimised service points and long-life components reduce the frequency and complexity of maintenance interventions.
Corrosion-Resistant Options
Surface treatment and material options are available for corrosive environments, including treatment plants and high-humidity applications.
Long Service Life
Proven design and quality construction result in sampling systems that deliver reliable performance for many years of service.
