Sprockhövel
the cradle of Ruhr mining
In some respects, Sprockhövel can indeed be considered the cradle of Ruhr mining. It was from here that hard coal mining developed continuously as an economic endeavor from the 15th century onward. Sprockhövel entrepreneurs later became involved in other mines throughout the Ruhr region, helping to create the economic basis for the spread of coal mining.
Conveying and transport tasks in mining, in industry and on long hauls, above or underground, have been handled by conveyor belts for decades. The bulk material can be transported directly without additional containers, and the conveyor belts also have a very high load-bearing capacity. They also have a very high operational reliability, which has proven itself in many fields of application.
