Recent projects
One of the major current projects for PROK is the manufacture and supply of low noise conveyor idlers and the manufacture and supply of pulleys for one of the fastest overland conveyors in Australia, which will operateat more than 10m/sec.
PROK was chosen for this project due to its experience with high speed conveyors and ability to meet complex specifications required by long distance, high speed, high tolerance applications.
Extending capability in East Coast of Australia
In January 2019, PROK extended its conveyor equipment capability on the East Coast of Australia with the addition of a specialised OEM pulley manufacturing facility based in Gosford and the investment in new equipment and technologies at its Smeaton Grange facility in Sydney.
The additional manufacturing capacity in Gosford includes six over-head cranes, plate rolling, state-of-the-art CNC machining, specialised welding to the highest standards, in-house stress relieving, shot-blasting, painting facilities, lagging facilities including an autoclave for hot vulcanised (with and without ceramic) lagging and specialised pulley acceptance testing equipment.
This provides a dedicated local option for OEM pulleys and pulley overhauls and further strengthens the company’s pulley capabilities and product offering to customers across the east coast of Australia.
