We help you increase profits by solving coal mining’s most challenging material handling problems.

Because coal mining operations use conveyor belts extensively to move materials, you must be able to count on your mining equipment to work efficiently without unscheduled downtime. Every time you have to stop production for unexpected problems like repairs or housekeeping, profitability drops.

And it doesn’t take much to bring down a process that transports thousands of tons of coal per day over several hundred yards. A conveyor system that comes out of alignment can easily damage equipment at transfer points or cause fugitive material to spill off the belt. Material can stick to belts and be carried back into the equipment, requiring a shutdown for cleanup. Fugitive dust can become airborne, causing a health and safety risk. All of these issues mean one thing: lost profits. 

At Martin Engineering, we are a worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing durable conveyor belt equipment for the coal mining industry, as well as providing skilled, professional service for routine maintenance and equipment repairs on all conveyor systems. That includes non-Martin equipment. We focus on both underground and surface coal mining operations, making them run cleaner, safer, more efficient and more profitable. Our engineers and technicians – many of whom have worked in the coal mining industry and are certified miners – are dedicated to solving the kinds of problems that have plagued coal mining operations for years, while also being first to market with solutions to new challenges.

The equipment we manufacture is designed to keep your conveyor belt systems working at max efficiency so the outby material moves as quickly as possible from the mine face to the prep plant and on to the boiler or loading site. You can choose from numerous models and types of belt cleaners and belt support products, depending on your specific needs. Plus, we can provide professional installation and routine maintenance on all the products we sell. We have even gone so far as to provide our own MSHA-certified, Kubota 9700X underground vehicle to a mine site when warranted for intensive long-term work.
