Dynamic Conveyor System
At EMM Resources we have employed an environmentally friendly way of getting our mined resources from point A to B within our plant. As our facility spans thousands of square kilometres we will use an advanced conveyor system that makes haulage over land and water obstacles effortless. The system is called RopeCon, a commercial conveyor belt that is succesfully renowned and proven worldwide.
Advantages

- Ropecon regenerates its own power through constant braking, even feeding excess power to the grid saving on energy costs.
- It will replace the need for loaders to pick up resources from the origin to the processing plant, eliminating fuel, labour and carbon expenses.
- It eliminates obsticles such as mountains and rivers as it goes direct from point A to B.
Monitoring Progress
Once RopeCon is installed EMM Resources will have the ability to compare future emissions to the current situation. It is estimated to save millions of carbon emissions each year through its power process.
