    Forged Chain


    4B drop forged chain is made of special heat treated alloy steel case hardened to Rockwell C57 with a ductile core hardness of Rockwell C40. Heat treating is a complex process that is done to provide the optimum chain link with a more fractured resilient ductile core for shock resistance, and an extremely hard exterior surface for superior wear resistance. 4B drop forged chain is backed by an international network of companies with over 120 years of experience, and a global team of engineers that can provide you with practical solutions for all your material handling applications.

    Drop Forged Chain


    Link and flight assembly are made easy by using a standard bolt and nut with a high strength hollow pin. There are no circlips to become loose and there is no intricate assembly. There is no welding required on the flights, no need to remove the chain from the conveyor for installation, and no issues with strength. Just bolt the links and the flights together. It’s easy, simple and reliable!
  • MATOLAG Ceramic Pulley Lagging

    Designed, developed and manufactured in Australia for the harsh conditions of all mining industries. The MATOLAG has been developed for the easy application for in situ and pulley OEM installations. The design and profile of the MATOLAgivees excellence in water drainage between the face surfaces on the pulley drum. Reducing material build up was also a major design criteria for the MATOLAG; the profile of the MATOLAG reduces the buildup of foreign materials, which long term will reduce the cause of belt tracking and conveyor belt wear. The MATOLAG is supplied in 6.5 metre rolls with a width of 250mm as standard; this reduces the wastage and allows easy stocking for all maintenance suppliers. MATOLAG can be supplied in either natural rubber or FRAS for the underground mining industry as per AS 1334.10-1994.

    Tests Carried Out:

    • Tests on rubber physical properties on every batch
    • Test on ceramic tile properties on every batch
    • Test on adhesion between the ceramic tiles and the rubber on every batch
    • Test on the cold vulcanised adhesion on every batch of rubber
    • Test on the hot vulcanised adhesion on every batch of bonding layer
  • Spring Tension Pre Belt Cleaner

    The MATO MCP1 primary belt cleaner is an aggressive head drum cleaner consisting of multiple blade sections, in line, mounted just under the tangential centre line of the head pulley, to remove the bulk of the carryback material to return to the main flow of product being conveyed. The MCP1 cleaner is mounted underneath the head drum to ensure no material build-up occurs on the cleaner unit, and to eliminate the risk of damage from the cleaner to the belt. Each blade is individually mounted with a rubber tensioning cushion to ensure even blade pressure across the face of the head drum. Tungsten carbide blades are used for fully vulcanised belts and polyurethane blades are used for mechanically fastened belts.

    Polyurethane Blades

    There are a number of polyurethane blade grades to choose from. Polyurethane blades can be used in underground coal mines with stringent fire resistant, antistatic requirements, as well as surface applications with aggressive products being conveyed, to high temperature or even food grade applications. Mato has also incorporated a polyurethane blade suitable for very dry applications with the polyurethane blade being used having its own inbuilt lubrication element to reduce the chances of chattering whilst running on dry conveyor belts.

    Spring Tension

    The tension spring assembly allows for constant tension to be applied to the cleaner unit, to cater for blade wear or greater movement for the blade surface on the head drum. This reduces the maintenance frequency for adjustment.
  • MUS3 Bolt Tension Secondary Belt Cleaner

    The MATO MUS3 belt cleaner is one of our latest designed belt cleaners and offers our new M-TRAK slide on cushion & blade for easy installation and maintenance. The unique M-TRAK is designed to eliminate long maintenance down times and ensures that all blade alignments are 100% true across the entire conveyor belt width. Blade replacement is very simple with the design of the slide on and slide of principle, meaning no special tools or training is required when maintenance is performed. The unique design of our MUS3 cushion is based on the principle of a parallelogram whereby the cushion also stays true to the conveyor belts surface and ensures the attacking angle is maintained.

    Cushion with Carbide Blade

    The MUS3 cleaner is specifically designed to be installed on conveyor systems that are either fully spliced or have mechanical belt fasteners. The design of our MUS2 cleaners has the tungsten carbide blade insert that can withstand the impact of mechanical fasteners which are used in most longwall applications in underground coal mining.

    Bolt Tension

    The MATO standard bolt tension assembly allows for easy adjustment during the initial setup of the blade and for ongoing changes to the blade height as it wears. Bolt tension assemblies work very well with a cushioned or flexible blade system.
