Since the 1980s, Andromeda Industries has been giving old materials a second life. In a country like Australia, where mining is such a big part of the economy, mine sites go through a huge number of conveyor belts. These belts are heavy, large, and difficult to move once they wear out, so they often end up in landfill.
But at Andromeda, they saw not waste, but opportunity. By reclaiming these used belts and processing them into more manageable, usable products, they’ve not only diverted material from landfill but also provided industries with sustainable, high-quality solutions.
Andromeda’s signature product Splitbelt is made through an innovative splitting process. They cut these large conveyor belts into thinner, user-friendly pieces, creating a robust material with seemingly endless applications. Splitbelt is now a common sight across Australia’s agricultural landscape: as arena walls, stable linings, race walls for cattle and sheep, and even as practical floodgate curtains. Its durability and versatility make it a go-to solution for farmers and livestock managers alike.
From Splitbelt, Andromeda has developed two specialised products: Holeybelt and Envirobelt. Holeybelt is precision-punched with 20mm holes, making it ideal for applications involving sheep and horses. Envirobelt features 40mm holes, better suited to cattle operations. Both products provide effective erosion control and ground stability in high-traffic areas such as feedlots and washbays, where managing mud and surface wear is critical.
In addition to recycled products, Andromeda also sell a range of new rubber products, including Ag-Mat, Stable Tiles, Tailgate Mats, and Ute Matting—designed to be tough and long-lasting.
Andromeda’s product range extends beyond rubber into the steel cable market, where they’ve made a name for themselves with Superflex Cable. Engineered for strength and flexibility, this signature product is used extensively by the construction industry as lifting slings.
Andromeda also brought expertise in cable to agriculture with the Staytight Cattle Cable—a fencing solution designed to be both strong and livestock-friendly. Available in three sizes to suit different applications, this cable features a unique helical twist that gives it a recoil capability. When livestock come into contact with the cable, it springs back gently rather than causing harm—an ingenious design that protects both stock and fence infrastructure.
From Splitbelt to Staytight Cattle Cable, Andromeda’s products are built to last and withstand harsh and demanding environments. For more details, explore the Andromeda website or speak with the team today — they’re here to help you find the right solution.
