Why APPI:  Stringing and tensioning a conveyor belt is a complex process – especially when it must be done within the constraints of a mining environment.   To address the problems they and their customers have with this process, Shaw-Almex, a leading supplier of conveyor belt vulcanizing and splicing equipment, asked APPI to provide them with eight of their Columbia WD1450 units to be used as conveyor belt tensioning winches.

These units come with variable frequency drives in NEMA 4X rated control enclosures and are equipped with APPI’s Columbia AutoAdvance Line Spooler ensuring perfect spooling regardless of pulling angle. In addition, cable tensioning plates help prevent wire rope nesting when tension is lost at the hook. Finally, a handheld directional control with variable speed adjustment allows precise positioning of the belts.
