    Value Proposition Chart

    Problem/Issue Result Solution
    Corrosion Exposed steel continually oxidizes. Rust on rolls causes premature failure resulting in costly downtime and under utilized components. Composite materials designed specifically to cope with corrosive environments.
    Abrasion Abrasive materials along with corrosive action causes premature wear and failure of the shell. Composite material range designed to offer superior abrasion resistance to steel and other composite materials. (Sand/Slurry Tests)
    Weight Increased on site work injuries, high workers compensation claims. Increased fatigue as a result in carrying heavy steel rolls. Increased cost of spares due to poor maintenance, belt downtime. Up to 60% weight reduction over comparable steel rollers. Ability to safely carry multiple rolls. No specific equipment required for larger roll installations.
    Performance Poor quality rolls fail prematurely causing costly roll replacements, as well as costly production downtime for maintenance purposes. Quality roll and component design ensures optimal performance on the conveyor.
    Safety Work related injuries as a result of heavy lifting and more time on the conveyor. Composite materials make overall weight of roll considerably lighter. Hollow shaft technology can further reduce overall weight of roll. Large diameter stationary rock shield offers barrier to spillage that will abrade outer bearing housing.
    Sealing Premature roll failure due to ingress of moisture and dust into the bearing. Sealing arrangements to suit your specific application (moisture/dust). Industry leading seal designs. Independently tested.
    Increased Power Requirements Design requirements increase to handle roll performance design specifications. (Breakaway mass and Seal Drag) Costs associated with operating a conveyor dramatically increase. Low breakaway mass and running friction numbers maintained without sacrificing seal/roll performance. Power required to drive system can be reduced by up to 30% per system. Immediate cost savings.
    Non Fire Resistance Compliance Many composite rollers are not Fire Resistant, meaning underground applications cannot take advantage of the benefits associated with composite rolls. FRAS roller meets Australian standards for Anti-Static and Flame Retardancy use in Underground Mines.
    Non Anti-Static Compliance Other composite rolls are unsuitable for underground use and sparking applications. FRAS roller meets Australian standards for Anti-Static and Flame Retardancy use in Underground Mines.
    Noise Pollution Costly citations due to elevated noise emmissions. Failing componentry sound emissions not audible during inspections. Rolls on average +-10dB lower than steel rolls. Implies up to 90% quieter than steel. Lower noise emmissions allow for improved problem identification.
    Toxicity Levels Fatal results due to inhalation of toxic fumes. Particularly relevant to confined working areas. Rolls designed using non toxic composite materials. Independent testing data available.
    Chemical Resistance Premature roll failure due to chemical attack to the composite material. LBC's range of proprietary materials allows for rolls to be used in very specific applications, such as sulphuric acid applications (HDPE)
    Design Flaws Composite rolls dimensionally incapable of certain size, length and load operating capabilities. Inconsistency with scale quality rolls (Steel/Other composites) Proprietary materials offer no design restrictions for length and load requirements. No sections welded together. Standard roll is manufactured to scale roll specifications.

    Roll Ordering Process

    Step 1: Provide Basic Roll Information (Additional Information Required for Roll Design Verification)
    Additional information allows for load and design calculation verification

    Step 2: Roll Part Number Generation

    LBC - 25 - 127 - 191 - NT - 6305


    Step 3: Quote will be provided based on above information
    Step 4: Upon order acceptance, customer to submit roll drawing for shaft end detailing and dimensional verification. BBCP will create duplicate roll drawing and return to customer for signoff
