Project 3: High-Speed Conveyor Optimisation

The Challenge

Chronic material transfer bottlenecks were severely limiting plant performance. However, legacy spatial limitations and a highly restricted physical footprint meant the client could not install larger, conventional conveyor routing.

The Okuni Africa Solution

Our reliability and mechanical engineers delivered a targeted process and equipment upgrade focusing on conveyor speed optimisation. Operating entirely within the existing confined envelope, we re-engineered drive components, recalibrated mechanical tensioning, and modified legacy tracking systems without modifying the building’s physical structure.

Business Outcomes

Achieved a measurable throughput upgrade and eliminated the process bottleneck entirely.

Saved massive capital expenditure (CapEx) by extracting higher performance from existing machinery rather than replacing it.
