And today, in some cases it turns out that it is cheaper to deliver solid bulk materials by conveyors, not freight trucks or rail, even when it comes to distances of several dozen kilometers. This was made possible thanks to the emergence and increasing use of unique curved conveyors, many kilometers long. One of the best-known manufacturers of such conveyors is RBL-REI SA, a French company.
