Kinder’s engineering team have developed specialised dust-prevention products including managing impact load zones with belt support technology, as well as skirting and sealing solutions, and belt covers. It’s Essential Seal range comprises of a selection of top-performing products, chosen for their combined effectiveness.
Veal said Kinder’s commitment to dust management is ingrained in its values, serving as the driving force behind their innovative solutions.
