Turnkey solution for thyssenkrupp overland conveyors Sempertrans was entrusted by thyssenkrupp to supply and install conveyor belting for two overland conveyor systems in the Las Bambas copper mine in Peru. thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions has been collaborating with Sempertrans since 2012, trusting Sempertrans to support them in facing the challenges of the mining industry with innovative and reliable solutions. In recent years, due to increasingly complex requirements in mining, there has been an upturn in the use of conveyor belts with high capacities and high performance. To respond to the critical nature of these tailored solutions, thyssenkrupp and Sempertrans have worked closely together in order to offer the most efficient and productive conveyor systems to customers. Over the last few years both companies have successfully implemented several projects in South America, including the Las Bambas mine. These projects are part of Sempertrans’ ambition to expand its footprint more widely in the region.
