Supplying Indonesian Mining and Industrial Operations from China
Indonesia is one of the world's largest producers of coal, nickel, bauxite, and tin. With hundreds of active mine sites across Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua, and Sumatra, the demand for heavy-duty conveyor belts, polyurethane screen panels, and rubber wear components is continuous and large-scale.
Elephant Rubber (Yexiang Hebei Conveying Machinery Co., Ltd.) supplies Indonesian mining companies, coal terminals, and industrial plants with conveyor belts and rubber components manufactured in Hebei, China β exported directly to Balikpapan, Surabaya, Jakarta, Makassar, and other Indonesian ports.
Why Indonesian Operations Choose Chinese Belt Manufacturers
Cost-competitive quality. Chinese conveyor belt manufacturers now produce to ISO, DIN, and AS/NZS standards at 30β50% lower cost than Australian or European equivalents. For Indonesian mining operations managing large belt inventories across multiple sites, this price differential is significant.
Short lead times to Indonesian ports. Shipping from Tianjin or Qingdao to Surabaya or Balikpapan typically takes 7β12 days. This allows Indonesian procurement teams to maintain lean inventory and respond quickly to unplanned belt failures.
Familiarity with tropical operating conditions. Indonesian mines operate in high humidity, high rainfall, and temperatures that accelerate belt degradation. Elephant Rubber's covers are compounded for tropical environments β our customers in Southeast Asia consistently report longer service life than with belts specified for temperate climates.
Products We Export to Indonesia
Heavy-Duty Conveyor Belts for Coal and Nickel Mining
Indonesia's coal mining operations β particularly in East and South Kalimantan β run some of the world's highest-tonnage open-cut conveyor systems. Our belts for Indonesian coal operations include:
- EP (Fabric) Conveyor Belts β For overland and in-pit applications. Widths 500mmβ2000mm, tensile strengths EP100 to EP500. Standard M24 cover grade for coal abrasion.
- Steel Cord Conveyor Belts β For high-tension trunk conveyors at large open-cut coal mines. ST630 to ST3150. Suitable for long-distance overland conveying at tonnages above 3,000 TPH.
- Chevron/Cleated Belts β For steep incline conveying in hilly Kalimantan terrain. Cleat heights 15mmβ32mm.
For nickel laterite operations in Sulawesi and Halmahera, we supply abrasion-resistant belts rated for sharp, wet ore loading.
Polyurethane Screen Panels for Coal Sizing
Coal preparation plants (wash plants) in Kalimantan use vibrating screens to classify coal by size before washing and export. Standard steel wire screens suffer rapid wear in the high-tonnage, high-moisture Indonesian coal washing environment.
Our modular PU screen panels offer: - 3β5Γ longer service life than wire in wet coal screening - Aperture options from 6mm to 100mm (suitable for all coal size fractions) - Self-cleaning design prevents pegging on wet, sticky coal fines - Compatible with major vibrating screen brands used in Indonesia (Schenck, Metso, Binder+Co)
Rubber Liners for Transfer Chutes and Hoppers
At coal stockyards, barge loading terminals, and crusher stations across Kalimantan and Sumatra, impact wear in chutes and hoppers is a constant maintenance burden. Our bolt-on rubber liners: - Reduce replacement frequency by 2β4Γ versus steel wear plates - Easier to install: local maintenance crew can change liners without heavy equipment - Available in pre-cut panels to fit standard chute dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions β Indonesian Buyers
Do you have an agent or warehouse in Indonesia? We export directly from China to Indonesian importers. We work with several Indonesian trading companies who hold stock in Surabaya and Balikpapan for urgent requirements. Contact us and we can refer you to the appropriate partner, or supply direct depending on your order size.
What are your minimum order quantities for Indonesia? For standard EP belts, MOQ is typically one roll (100mβ200m depending on width). For PU screen panels, MOQ is 10 panels per aperture size. For mixed orders, we can consolidate multiple products into a single container.
Can you supply to Kalimantan mine sites directly? We ship CIF to Indonesian ports. Inland logistics from port to mine site are typically arranged by the buyer. We can assist with documentation for Indonesian customs (SNI certification, HS codes for conveyor belts and rubber goods).
Do your belts meet SNI standards? We can supply test reports and material certificates. Indonesian import regulations for conveyor belts vary by end-use sector. Contact us with your specific compliance requirement and we will advise.
What is typical delivery time to Balikpapan? For stock items: 7β10 days port to port from Tianjin. For custom-manufactured belts: 15β25 days production plus 7β10 days transit.
