2 IMAS Conveyor Belts About us Location Superior mechanical equipment In-house cord production IMAS was founded in 1972 in Volos, Greece with a focus on the local energy sector of Greece and its Public Power Corporation (PPC). Since then, we have increased our capacity through continuous investment, with the last steel cord press added as recently as Today our plant is state of the art, from mixing lines to multi-cylinder Siempelkamp presses. From its beginnings in the local market, IMAS quickly developed its export focus. Today our belts are appreciated across the globe, from the US in the west to Australia in the east. Millions of meters of belt providing top performance have proven us to be one of the leading suppliers in our industry. With this experience combined with more than 100 years of knowledge within our Group in the field of conveyor belts, we are your first choice for all your conveyor belt needs. The IMAS plant is located on the east coast of Greece, approximately halfway between Athens and Thessaloniki. With our own port in Volos and the international port of Piraeus within a driving distance of approximately four hours, we are ideally positioned to execute our daily customer orders by truck all over Europe or by sea to the entire world. Organization At IMAS, you will find everything under one roof: Sales, Production, Development, Logistics, Quality Control, Purchasing, Human Resources, IT, Finance, Technical Service everything shaped into a slim, effective and fast organization. This combined with our manufacturing setup makes us one of the fastest and most efficient operators on the market. Being part of the Continental/ContiTech Group provides us with additional know-how in areas like advanced computer simulation, splice simulation and additional testing facilities. We produce our conveyor belts on the most reliable, modern equipment from manufacturers that specialize in the conveyor belt industry, such as Siempelkamp and Berstorff. Our Roller Head line uses extruding technology enabling the production of both long and thick bubble free cover plates. Therefore the need for cover joins and lamination is now reduced to the minimum. Our multi-cylinder Siempelkamp presses ensure even distribution of pressure during vulcanization the moment the tension control systems maintain the right tension on each cord inside the belt. These parameters result in a very uniform, straight running belt. q Our own steel cord manufacturing plant, Syrma S.A., was founded in 1994 and has been expanded with various investments over the last years to a capacity of several thousand tons of finest steel cords for conveyor belts, in production around the clock, seven days a week. q Our state-of-the-art facility, laboratory equipment and quality control system place various advantages at our fingertips that other belt manufacturers do not have. We have complete quality control over the entire production process of our cords. q Thanks to our expertise in design, we are able to custom-design special steel cords for our customers. We make sure that our reinforcements and our other materials combine to form the perfect conveyor belt. q Last but not least, the speed and flexibility that come with having the capability to manufacture our own cords make us faster in producing our belts than most other operators in our industry. q Syrma steel cords have been used in thousands of kilometers of steel cord conveyor belts for more than 15 years and have proven to deliver superior physical performance, rubber adhesion and rubber penetration, resulting in longer lifetimes. We offer fast local decisions and solutions based on a global network of expertise.

3 Steel Cord Belt Production Our range of products reaches widths of up to 2600 mm and breaking strengths of up to 8000 N/mm (ST 8000). We produce our steel cord conveyor belts in accordance with the respective standards as per the customer s requirements, such as DIN 22131, DIN EN ISO or AS 1333 (Australian Standard). However, individual tailor-made belt constructions with a specific number of cords, pitch, and cord diameter are supplied where necessary; for instance, where only a part length needs to be spliced into an existing belt. Since the beginning of the 1970s, IMAS has been supplying high-quality steel cord conveyor belts to its customers around the globe. Our steel cord conveyor belts are distinguished by their extremely high transmission of forces, long lengths (up to 20 km center-to-center distance), and very high load-carrying capacities (up to 30,000 t/h). Our high-performance products ensure high troughability combined with low elongation and good straight-running characteristics. IMAS steel cord conveyor belts are successfully employed for a wide range of uses through a wide variety of available cover grades. Due to the flexibility of our production facilities, we are able to offer our customers the capacity to design and produce conveyor belts in accordance with their particular requirements. This may be necessary for instance in cases where our customers wish to add other components to the belt produced. Examples of this include belts with special layouts to enable our customers to attach buckets for elevator belts. Very specific cord placements are required on such base belts, which we produce and deliver on a regular basis. If you require a base belt with a particular belt layout, please feel free to contact us. IMAS Steel Cord belts are available with belt gauges up to 60 mm. Rip detection sensors can be installed during the production process. Belts can be supplied in standard or oval reels in order to minimize the number of required splices.

7 Packaging Options Our belts can be offered with various packaging options. These can be standard hubs, reels with wooden sidewalls, fully enclosed steel reels or oval reels with or without sidewalls. If the packaging for your belt requires special details (e.g. special lifting lugs/points), we are ready to make it happen. Splicing materials IMAS belts are of superior quality and we want our customers to be able to make full use of this quality. This requires a good splice, and apart from professional craftwork, good splice materials is the main prerequisite. In view of this, we have been providing splice kits for vulcanizing our products to our customers all over the world since our company was founded. In our splice kits you will find all the materials you need for a belt splice: Depending on the belt, the kit contains q rubber solution q cleaning agent q skim/bonding and cover rubber plates q rubber strips q cover cloth q breaker fabric q silicon paper q polyethylene foil to facilitate a clean working process.

8 Quality Assurance & QM system In order to respond to our customers needs as best as we can, quality plays a central role for us. Quality procedures are an essential part of our production process. Since quality is built from the beginning, it is not just the final product that is checked for quality. Our quality control starts with the raw materials we receive and is implemented throughout production. As a result of this, IMAS is ISO 9001-certified. Continuous improvement is essential for successful long-term business relationships with our customers. It is a responsibility for everyone in our company. We therefore also use ISO 9001 as a tool for ongoing improvement of our processes, taking into account q Safety q Quality q Efficiency Laboratory IMAS has a fully equipped laboratory in order to control and ensure the quality of all our products for every production step. As far as we are concerned, there is no compromise when it comes to quality. This starts with the receipt and testing of our raw materials and tensile members and continues via a full inspection of every compound batch produced through to the complete testing of our semi-finished and finished products. Consequently, our customers can rest assured that they will always receive a competitive product with guaranteed quality. Here is a small selection of the tests that our products undergo: Dimension, density, abrasion, adhesion forces, tensile strength, atmospheric aging, aging under temperature exposure, cold and hot temperature resistance, dynamic stresses, resistance and swelling under exposure to chemicals, oils and other aggressive media, rubber penetration, electrical conductivity, flame resistance, drum friction, oxygen index, troughability and corrosion, as well as a vast number of additional tests over all process steps. However, the best testing equipment is useless without human expertise. In our laboratory, we work with an experienced and highly specialized workforce that together can count more than a hundred years of experience in the conveyor belt industry. In addition, we have access as part of our group to heavy test rigs for dynamic belt forces and splice efficiency, testing rigs for determining the effectiveness of energy-optimized compounds, computer simulation of splices, static and dynamic belt forces as well as usage of central research and development capabilities in hardware, software and engineers, e.g. for nanotechnology, spectral analysis and particle flow simulation. Needless to say, all these resources also make us extremely well equipped for developing our new products. IMAS has established a state-of-the-art Quality Management System.
