Previously, we were using a 476 meter reel, which was not practical to change the belt because it was heavy and bulky. Today, we only use 2 belts equipped with integrated ISC® splice. This allows us to move the belts more easily through the conveyor and save a lot of time to put the conveyor back into service. We noticed that the downtime for this conveyor went from 22 hours to 6 hours, which represents significant savings for the company and a gain in productivity
