Ice build‑up on conveying systems creates costly downtime, slip hazards, and productivity loss. For operations in mining, aggregates, recycling, and heavy industry, a robust freeze‑control solution is essential to maintain continuous operation and safe conditions.
The Challenge of Ice on Conveyor Systems
Ice, snow, and freezing conditions cause belt carry‑back, block chutes, and compromise idlers and truck beds. Standard de‑icing may not suffice when temperatures drop or when application is irregular. Belts that stick or material that adheres become inefficient and unsafe.
Liquid Heat Conveyor‑Belt Deicer & Preventative
Liquid Heat by Zircon Industries is a liquid deicer designed for conveying systems. It:
- Prevents ice formation on belts, rollers, idlers, chutes, and truck beds.
- Remains liquid in extreme cold—won’t gel up when others fail.
- Is non‑flammable and non‑hazardous.
- Can be delivered in pails, drums, totes, or tank volumes and applied via manual or automated spray systems.
Key Benefits & Applications
- Maintains continuous conveying without ice‑related stoppages
- Mitigates belt stick/carry‑back in cold environments
- Extends belt life by reducing freeze adhesion and material buildup
- Applies to a wide range of industries: coal, power, aggregates, wood chips, recycling, steel, etc.
- Simplifies winter planning—use as part of a preventive maintenance strategy
