Have you ever stopped to think about how many conveyors are operating across Australia’s mines, quarries, recycling plants, and aggregates sites right now? Of course not. Who thinks about things like that!?!
Well… we do. Because at MATO, we know that conveyor systems are the backbone of your operation. And keeping them running smoothly means getting two things right: fastening and cleaning.
The Big Jobs Deserve the Right Gear
Conveyors in these industries don’t just hum along with light duty. They’re shifting tonnes of coal, rock, glass, and waste materials every single day and that means a lot of vibration, tension, impact and dirt.
- If your belt fasteners aren’t up to the task, you’re dealing with unplanned stoppages, splice failures, safety risks, and costly downtime
- If your belt cleaners aren’t doing their job, you’re stuck with carryback, premature belt wear, blocked rollers, and a very unhappy maintenance team.
At MATO, we specialise in solving both sides of the problem, because a well-maintained conveyor is one that’s both securely fastened and properly cleaned.
Fasteners That Last
At MATO, we’ve spent decades perfecting mechanical fasteners that stand up to the realities of mining, quarrying, and industrial sites.
The U30 Series has been a trusted workhorse for over 100 years, widely used across Australian underground operations thanks to its strength, reliability, and ease of installation. It’s still the go-to for many conveyor operators needing a fast, consistent splice that holds up under pressure.
The new U40 Series takes it a step further. Designed for the harshest conditions – like longwall and high-stress underground mining – the U40 builds on the U30 legacy with smart upgrades like StapleGuard Technology and a recessed, skived design to reduce wear and extend splice life.
Both deliver long-term value, lower downtime, and a Total Cost of Ownership up to 30% lower than competing systems.
Cleaners That Keep Things Moving
On the cleaner side, we offer Australian-made belt cleaners built for the harshest industrial conditions. We’re talking:
- Can reduce carry back up to 95%
- Faster lead times and local support
- Reduced maintenance and unplanned shutdowns
Whether you’re working in recycling, or high-capacity production the right cleaner protects your belts, keeps material where it belongs, and cuts down the cleanup.
Why Both Matter
You can have the world’s best cleaner but if the belt fails, you’re still down. Or you might have a solid splice, but carryback is chewing through your rollers and shutting things down anyway. That’s why MATO focuses on fasteners that stay fastened and cleaners that actually clean.
We also know you’ve got enough to manage. That’s why our customers rely on us not just for products, but for training, tooling, and technical support from people who’ve been doing this for decades.
