MINExpo 2008

Precision DBS along with Enduride Canada-USA shared a booth during the MINE EXPO Show in Las Vegas September 22 – 25 2008. Enduride rollers were featured along with Precision’s automation and turn-key capabilities. The show was a great success for Precision and Enduride, with much interest generated with the new Enduride patented modular frame system. The design allows maintenance personnel to change out any or all rollers in less than 5 minutes with one man. A task that previously took 1 hour for two men. Customers who were looking to change out existing rollers or who had projects for new conveyor installations found answers to their questions and concerns at the Enduride-Precision booth.
