We are proud to make sustainable choices every day.

At Fenner Conveyors, we understand that sustainable actions help make a real difference for the future of our planet. Here are just some of the sustainability initiatives we are proud of.

Since we have the conveyor belt manufacturing process down to a science, we can run manufacturing equipment at our factories meaningfully to reduce gas, and conserve energy and electricity at our plants.

We proudly use as much renewable or recycled material in our rubber covers as we can.

Our employees volunteer at tree planting initiatives annually and participate in climate workshops to improve environmental awareness.

Our low-rolling resistant conveyor belt bottom covers and conveyor rollers are industry-leading, and help our customers achieve significant energy savings. Our R&D for LRR products is a focus so we can enhance our offering further.

We produce conveyor products that are used to move recyclable materials

We represent our brand with merchandise, employee uniforms and print materials which are 80% or more sustainable.

Our X Series conveyor belting products are designed to outperform
comparable plied offerings, using less materials in production and weighing less in operation.

We’ve installed solar at our manufacturing and service locations across Australia to lower our reliance on grid-generated electricity, as well as give back own renewable energy to the grid.

We don’t focus on purchasing offsets (carbon credits). Instead, we dedicate resources to sustainability initiatives that have impact.

All Fenner Dunlop Conveyor Belting is produced
domestically which means less carbon emissions are produced during transportation to a customer site.

We’ve installed electric car charging stations at several locations to support our employees to make sustainable transport decisions.

More with less

CONVEYOR BELTING WITH GREAT SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS.

Historically, conveyor belts have been manufactured using two or more plies of fabric that are adhered to each other using inner layers of rubber. When additional rip, tear and impact resistance was required for a more demanding bulk material handling application, the obvious answer seemed to be fitting a belt with even more plies with even thicker covers. Which was proved to be very rarely the best solution.

The best solution is to fit belts that are specifically engineered for the purpose, which is the philosophy of Fenner Conveyors. We research, develop, trial and test all conveyor belting products to ensure the longest lasting and most durable solutions. This in turn provides sustainable outcomes at a site level with extended belt life and less waste from changed-out equipment.

Our X Series is comprised of unique, single unit (dual unit in some circumstances) carcasses weaved and treated at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Here we have total control of the weaving process, which ensures the integrity and quality of the belt vs. the common practice of purchasing standard belt weaves in the textile commodity marketplace – which are predominantly manufactured overseas.

Fenner Conveyors is proud to manufacture the longest lasting conveyor belts in the world. This means our customers benefit from requiring fewer replacements belts, which creates less unnecessary waste.

Our X Series conveyor belting products remove the need for multiple plies and rubber skims, which saves valuable resources and creates a more robust product.

We optimise the consumption of nylon and polyester in our carcass constructions to manufacture the best product possible product with the least amount of physical materials needed.

GREEN SERIES

CONVEYOR PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF YOUR SITE.

Low rolling resistance means that less force is required for a belt to roll over idlers. This efficient cover compound is applied to the bottom cover of conveyor belt to support a reduction in indentation loss and improvement in shear modulus, resulting in an overall reduction in power consumption.

We offer light-weight, low noise rollers, resulting in less friction and less energy consumption from seized or misaligned rollers. Our roller solutions are high-quality, Australian-Made designs, reducing change-outs and overall site waste.
