Plant handling and processing organic materials usually have harsh or unpleasant environments where maintenance and any engineering intervention needs to be kept to a minimum. The necessary safeguards and requirements to go on site can be as time consuming as the work. Volta belts have been running in particularly challenging conditions on systems handling solid waste and inside fertilizer plants. The belts give years of reliable performance and are resistant to the harsh chemical composition of the bulk material being conveyed.
