en.Wedoany.com Reported - South African industrial conveyor component manufacturer Tru-Trac has expanded its long-term partnership with UK-based BREC to include belt scale solutions in its product portfolio, offering UK customers a broader range of intelligent conveyor technologies. This collaboration builds on the existing relationship between the two companies and follows the Hillhead 2026 exhibition, where integrated conveyor technologies attracted attention from operators in the quarrying, mining, recycling, ports, cement, and bulk material handling sectors.
Conveyor belt tracking technology has long been used to reduce spillage, minimize belt damage, and improve equipment availability. Currently, operators are increasingly looking to integrate these technologies with precise real-time production measurement. Reliable belt tracking and accurate material weighing provide operational intelligence that helps achieve better process control, production planning, and maintenance decisions.
Tinus Ludik, Manager of the Tru-Trac Belt Scale Division, stated that the industry is gradually moving beyond the view of conveyor components as standalone products. He noted that operators seek a deeper understanding of conveyor system performance, and reliable weighing data combined with effective belt tracking provides operators with the information needed to optimize throughput, improve inventory management, and make decisions. The key lies in creating smarter, more efficient conveyor systems, not just installing individual components.
Tru-Trac's belt scale systems deliver highly accurate and repeatable material measurement in harsh operating environments without compromising conveyor performance. Continuous production data enables operators to monitor throughput in real time, improve inventory control, and identify process changes before they impact production.
Through this expanded partnership, UK customers can access local support via BREC's established technical sales, engineering expertise, and after-sales service capabilities. Steve Perruzza, Managing Director of BREC, stated that adding Tru-Trac belt scales complements the company's existing conveyor solutions while allowing customers to work with a single trusted technology partner. He mentioned that customers are increasingly seeking complete conveyor performance solutions rather than individual products, and adding Tru-Trac's belt scale technology to the product portfolio enables the company to offer a broader range based on local technical expertise and support, helping operators simultaneously improve conveyor system reliability and production data quality.
