Transfer Point Spillage (Continued)
ASGCO, a leading manufacturer in conveyor components, helps solve problems and improve overall conveyor efficiencies, has worked with Weldon Materials for over 30 years. In that time, “we have worked together to help improve Weldon’s conveyors by providing the best products and 24/7/365 service,” states Aaron Gibbs, Vice President of ASGCO.
ASGCO examined the problems with load zones and has developed a number of guidelines to ensure proper loading from one conveyor to another. It was agreed that, in order for a load zone to operate properly:
• The conveyor belt must be centered around the tail pulley and throughout the load zone
• The impact from the load must be minimized and centered on the receiving conveyor belt
• Internal skirtboard lines must be made out of an abrasion and impact resistant material and be within 1” of the conveyor belt
• Skirtboards should have a quick release clamp design to be able to quickly adjust and change out the skirting material as it wears
• The skirting material should be a resistant to cuts and abrasion while maintaining a overall softer durometer then the conveyor belt
• Durable design

ASGCO’s Clampmount skirtclamp system and Dura-Seal skirting rubber has been a standard for Weldon for many years. The Clampmount is a 2’ clamp with release handles on 12” centers to easily release, adjust and or change out the skirting material. The Dura-Seal skirting is a special compound formulated by ASGCO to ensure maximum cut, gouge and abrasion resistance. Dura-Seal is available in ”, ” and 1” thick with a standard bevel edge that conforms to the trough angle of the belt, as seen in the picture above. Dura-Seal has also proven that its abrasion resistance and wear ability can be more then 8 times that of standard skirtboard rubber.
As a major trap rock quarry, in a very competitive marketplace in the Northeast United States, Weldon realizes that spending money on quality conveyor components is as important as putting quality components on a race car. “Conveyors are the major arteries to any plant and we believe in putting the best products into our plant”, states Robby Roberts, plant foreman. Aggregate plants today cannot afford unscheduled downtime in the middle of their busy season because of problems associated with material spillage.

Trap Rock Quarry Solves Transfer Point Spillage Problems
Today’s aggregate industry is filled with several great challenges. First and foremost, to produce enough aggregate for cement, asphalt and other products for our homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and our government infrastructures, while not costing us a small fortune in the process. We also have to be socially conscious of the environment for our children and our children’s’ children.
Weldon Materials is a leading New Jersey producer of crushed aggregates, hot mixed asphalt, and ready mixed concrete. Along with two quarries, Weldon operates ten hot mixed plants, three state-of-the-art ready mixed plants, and two contractor supply yards. A family business established in the 1890's, Weldon Materials and its subsidiaries have continually been leaders in the construction industry. Having started as road and bridge builders, Weldon now supplies New Jersey's contractors with road and building materials necessary to keep New Jersey’s infrastructure strong.
