How a Bell Impact Crusher Works and Some Common Uses

If one needs to reduce a relatively soft material such as a clove of garlic, to smaller particles, the steady application of a minimal amount of pressure between two surfaces is all that will be required. Even in the garden, when encountering a large and unwanted rock, it should be a comparatively simple matter to reduce it to a mixture of small stones and rock dust with a few measured blows from a sledgehammer. On an industrial scale however, where it may be required to pulverise hundreds of tonnes of material daily and on an on-going basis, something a lot more powerful than a couple of strong men with hammers will be necessary. In practice, this is a typical task for an impact crusher such as those made by the giant, global equipment manufacturer, Bell. Continue reading →

Bell Loggers and their Importance to South Africa’s Forestry Industry

As one travels through the vast South African countryside, the visible evidence of mining activity and agriculture is to be seen in the form of headgear, mine dumps, slime dams and fields replete with maize and sunflowers in virtually all of the nation’s nine provinces. Gold represents about a third of our exports and the country’s diamond industry is the fourth largest on the planet while we are a net exporter of cereal grains to Southern Africa. Since forested areas are, in most of the country, vastly exceeded by arable and grazing land, it is easy to overlook their value, but the commercial timber industry is also important to the country’s economy.

Bell Forklifts for Economical Materials Handling in Rough Terrain

The image of a forklift truck that will ring a bell with the majority of people will tend to be limited by their experience. It many cases, the picture they conjure will probably be that of a compact, near-silent, electric vehicle with the ability to turn on a dime and sprint along the polished aisles between the shelves of their local discount warehouse, removing or stacking palletised packages with the aid of a moving platform – and with little apparent effort on the part of the driver. In fairness to their drivers, to operate them safely, these vehicles actually do require a fair degree of skill. The type described is also just one of several forms in common use, although perhaps less often in locations where they may be readily observed by the public. Continue reading →

Rugged Bell Timber Trucks Serving the South African Forestry Industry

Although wood may be a material that tends to attract rather less publicity than the more glamorous products of the mining industry such as gold, platinum and diamonds, the vast volumes of lumber harvested each year from South Africa’s extensive plantations serve to identify the forestry industry as a major contributor to the nation’s economy. Used in the production of paper pulp, as a building material, for fuel and in the manufacture of wooden furniture items, once felled, the trunks must be stripped of their branches and leaves and then transported to sawmills, processing plants and factories where they will be prepared for their various uses.

Versatile Articulated Tractors from Bell Aiding Agriculture in Africa

Both in its most southerly regions and in many of the other countries on the vast continent of Africa, agriculture is an industry that is vital to feed the local populations and, in a few cases, it may also provide a welcome source of hard currency in exchange for selected export crops such as coffee and tobacco. To meet the demands of a burgeoning population, wherever the economy permits, farming has had to become increasingly more dependent upon the use of chemical preparations to prevent disease, to promote growth and to increase yield. In addition, they have had to embrace the new technologies and equipment that are essential to sustain an industry that is now increasingly reliant upon mechanisation. Continue reading →

Bell Jaw Crushers – Their Operation and Some Common Applications

Almost all mining and ore-processing operations are dependent upon some means by which to reduce large rocks to smaller particles of a size more suitable for any further processing that may be required to be carried out. The equipment designed for this purpose varies quite widely in size. The relatively compact models are used to mill gold ore particles in the millimetre range, and reduce them to a fine dust with a particle size measured in microns, while the much larger, mobile models, mounted on caterpillar tracks and complete with integral conveyers, are commonly used in open-pit mines. Given the need for more conservative building practices, these machines have found a further important role within the construction field where they are now being used to recycle used concrete.
