Engineering Excellence in Conveyor Fabrication for Global Mining
Specialist steel fabricator Adey Steel has established itself as a leading provider of high-quality, custom-engineered conveyor frames for Komatsu, a globally recognised manufacturer of industrial and mining equipment. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and advanced manufacturing processes, Adey Steel ensures that its bespoke conveyor frames meet the highest standards of durability, reliability, and performance in demanding operational environments.
At the heart of Adey Steel’s success is its state-of-the-art, five-acre headquarters in Loughborough, UK, where a dedicated team of engineers and fabricators work meticulously to produce Armoured Face Conveyors (AFCs). These specialised conveyors are a crucial component in longwall mining, an underground mining method used to extract coal and other minerals efficiently. Longwall mining presents some of the most extreme operational challenges, requiring equipment that can withstand high pressures, abrasive conditions, and continuous operation under significant mechanical stress.
Through a combination of expert craftsmanship, innovative design, and stringent quality control, Adey Steel plays a vital role in supporting the global mining industry, ensuring that mining operations remain efficient, productive, and safe.
