      • Bucket elevators

      • BUCKET ELEVATORS: POWERFUL VERTICAL CONVEYING

        Over the course of multiple decades we have introduced numerous innovations in vertical conveying. This experience and pioneer spirit has allowed us to become a leader in the design and manufacturing of bucket elevators. The high quality and high capacity systems we build have proven themselves under the most demanding conditions, for instance heavy duty applications in mining or cement production..

        AT A GLANCE:
        • Vertical transport of fine bulk material and coarse bulk material
        • Product properties ranging from sticky to highly abrasive
        • Conveying heights up to 200 m and more
        • Conveying capacity up to 2,000 m³/h and more
      • CONVEYOR SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGY FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELS (AFR)

      • Old tyres, shredded tyres, plastics and other oil-based mineral products – large volumes of alternative fuels are available at low cost and can be safely disposed of using the high-temperature process in the rotary kiln systems in cement works, leaving no residues.

        Our systems enable these alternative materials to be stored, separated, weighed, metered out and transported efficiently and without harming the environment. It is also possible to change fuel types.

        These plants thus ensure that kilns in cement works are operated and fuelled much more economically. At the same time, the ash from the alternative fuels is added to the mineral components of the cement clinker and thus reduces the volume of additives needed.

        AT A GLANCE:

        • Economical energy recovery
        • Low-cost waste disposal
        • No unacceptable environmental impacts
        • Fuel types can be changed
        • Precisely metered combustion processes
      • MOBILE CONVEYOR BELTS

      • MOBILE CONVEYOR BELTS FOR MAXIMUM EFFICACY IN MINING

        Mobile conveyor belts help with one of mining's most significant challenges that's rooted in the process of extracting ores, coal, and rocks from the ground: While excavating raw materials on-site in a mine or a quarry, the distance from the point of excavation to the overland conveyor increases with every cubic ton that's mined. Moving the raw materials across the excavation site by truck is costly, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous to the miners. However, mobile conveyor belts can be adapted to the ever-changing on-site requirements by adding or removing individual modules, thus allowing for safer, more efficient transportation.

        Benefits:

        • Reduces operating costs
        • Increases labour safety on site
        • Contributes to making mining less environmentally harmful

         

      • PIPE CONVEYORS

      • PIPE CONVEYORS - CLOSED TRANSPORTATION OF BULK MATERIALS

        Tight turns, steep inclines and long distance - pipe conveyors transport bulk material across challenging terrain. A pipe conveyor is actually a conveyor belt shaped into a tube, the closing of the belt helps to reduce contamination and spillage: protecting bulk materials from the sun, rain and wind - and protecting the environment at the same time. This is important when transporting sensitive materials, such as waste products for instance, close to or even through public areas. There are no unpleasant smells, no material loss, and equally as important, there are no adverse effects to the surrounding environment.

        Benefits:

        • Ideal for long distances
        • Long centre distances
        • Great flexibility
        • High-temperature bulk goods can be transported
        • Highly economical with low investment costs
        • Low-wear construction with a lengthy service life even with highly abrasive materials
      • SCREW CONVEYOR

      • We develop screw conveyors to precisely supply the exact dosage of alternative fuels in the cement works and for the loading of ships in the port. Shredded car tyres, waste wood, textiles, paper and plastics - screw conveyors simplify the transportation of a wide variety of goods. The helical screw conveyor rotates in a U-shaped pan or tube, transporting the bulk materials out of the silos. With low failure susceptibility, low costs and a flexible screw pitch, makes the screw conveyor advantageous for short distances. Versions with double auger or with weighing capabilities can be adapted to suit your needs.

        Facts: 

        • Feeding speed 30 tons per hour
        • Bulk densities from 0.08 to 0.8 tons per cubic meter
        • Control ratio 1:20
        • 1 to 2 percent feed accuracy with automatic calibration
        • Completely closed auger scale to protect against dust

         

      • CENTRAL CHAIN BUCKET ELEVATORS

      • Our central chain bucket elevator was developed expressly for maximum conveyor performance; depending on design, sizeable centre distances can thus be achieved, and conveyed volumes can reach 1,900 m³/h depending on bucket width.

        Their full strength comes to the fore with hot, abrasive or granular bulk material, as in milling operations in the cement industry, for instance. A range of chain types is available to ensure the best possible use. Our central chain bucket elevators are in the field of high permanent temperatures of the material, e.g. for hot clinker.

        Facts: 

        • Conveying capacity up to 1,900 m3/h
        • Centre distances up to 70 m and more
        • Vertical transport of hot bulk material with grain size up to 100 mm
        • Different chain sizes with breaking forces up to 2,500 kN available
      • HOPPER CARS

      • Shiftable conveyors in opencast mines as well as numerous belt conveyors within handling systems require a hopper cFAM hopper cars ensure a controlled centered feeding, which is particularly important because of the straight run of the belt.

        Depending on the design, two types are possible:

        • Hopper cars with a rail chassis, with and without its own drive
        • Hopper cars with a crawler chassis.

        For easier lifting and guiding of the belt in the upper strand, usually articulated roller stations are used, which can better absorb the shock from the falling feed material thus protecting the top cover of the belt.

        ar that is capable of distributing material along the entire conveying length.

            Who stacks bricks on pallets? Does champagne run through pipes into the supermarket? Is granulate filled into sacks with a spoon? All products need packaging - especially for transportation. Whether in the retail, building materials or the chemical industry, after production all products have to make their way to the end user. Stable packaging preserves the value of your product. Safe palletising prevents accidents and sustainable packaging saves natural resources and money. But are you also ready for smart packaging technology at top speed? Complete packaging lines give your filling and packaging process the competitive productivity boost.

            LIGHTNING-FAST BAG FILLING

            Filling bulk goods into bags is the first step in the packaging process. The filling and sealing of those bags is done fully automatically by machines with the intention of filling and shaping the bags for easy stacking and palletisation. The weight of the packaged goods is also measured and adjusted on a continuous basis. The Form-Fill-Seal or FFS process stands for forming, filling and sealing. Irregular flow behaviour and high temperatures are often to be expected with chemical products. We have designed the comprehensive BEUMER fillpac® FFS system for gentle filling. The machine forms precisely fitting bags from a PE tubular film, fills them and seals them automatically. The machine processes up to 2,600 bags per hour. An integrated scale automatically checks the precise product quantity. 

                • Stretch Hood® A

                • The BEUMER stretch hood® A offers maximum load stability due to the combination of vertical and horizontal contracting forces of the film. The high-flexibility film allows different product sizes to be packaged on the same pallet.

                  PACKAGING FOR PALLETS

                  The BEUMER stretch hood® A also scores on sustainability: the packaging process uses no heat and consumes very little power, while also minimising the fire risk. Only the exact amount of film required is used, in just a single layer. The sturdy, watertight film and the high level of stability of the packed pallets guarantee outstanding performance for outdoor storage.

                  Ease of handling is provided by automatic recognition of the pallet dimensions and precise selection of the film format. The system can also be operated simply and intuitively via the touch panel, with explanatory video covering the more technical functions.

                • The design of baggage storage systems (EBS) can fulfil operational performance requirements beyond allowing passengers' bags to be checked in hours before flight time. Today's dynamic baggage storage designs also have the ability to support baggage peak volumes with an aim to optimise the use of the baggage make-up area.

                  BAGGAGE STORAGE FEATURES FOR CONSIDERATION

                  When selecting the optimum baggage storage configuration and design, it is important to also focus on the end-to-end operational baggage handling requirements. By designing a multi storage function, the system can offer several options for handling of transfer and outbound baggage that can lead to increases in baggage handling efficiencies and operational cost savings through staff and equipment optimisation.

                  With no two airport requirements being the same, evaluation of baggage capacity, peak, volume and terminal space is required to find the right baggage storage design solution and technology.

                  Features:

                  • Storage capacity
                  • Operational handling requirements (batch building, baggage-on-demand, single bag access)

                  • Conveying systems

                  • THE CONVEYOR BELT: THE ALLROUNDER ACROSS INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS

                    The conveyor belt is used in a wide range of industries for the efficient transport of goods and materials. Whether over a few feet or many miles, steep inclines or gradual declines, conveyor belts are used to solve a variety of logistical challenges. Conveyor belts are used to transport raw materials such as limestone from the quarry over great distances to a cement plant. In distribution centres, conveyor belts ensure the automated sorting of shipments. Baggage handling at airports also runs on conveyor belts, and even at the supermarket checkout we pack our groceries onto a conveyor belt

                  • Sorter Controls

                  • AT A GLANCE

                    BEUMER Group software controls is used for system-wide optimisation. The ability to combine precise control of individual machines, with system-wide visibility of work flows, allows the system to be continually optimised to avoid bottlenecks and achieve faster throughput and higher productivity.

                    BEUMER Group’s software system integrates three levels of controls:
                    • Embedded software on the controller boards for each sorter
                    • BEUMER Group Machine Controller system to keep track of items on the sorters including scanning information and sort positions
                    • BEUMER Group System Controller to adjust and optimise the sortation process for each individual sorter.

                    The system control can integrate with
                    • SCADA
                    • PLC controlled conveyors
                    • Barcode scanners
                    • Line sorters
                    • Conveyor belts
                    • Automatic print and apply stations
                  • AUTOMATIC PARCEL SINGULATOR

                  • AUTOMATIC SINGULATION OF PARCELS, FLATS AND TOTES

                    The Automatic Parcel Singulator transforms a bulk flow of parcels into a flow in which each parcel is uniformly separated, spaced and aligned before the in-feed to the automated induction of a high-speed loop sortation system.

                    The benefits of integrating a fully Automatic Parcel Singulator into a new – or existing – sortation system include enhancing both the capacity and the efficiency of the parcel handling process and adding control of the upstream and downstream parcel flows. This means that the system’s capacity and energy consumption are continually adapted and optimised to manage changes in the parcel flow and demand. Improvements in the ergonomics of the work environment due to the reduction in manual handling, ease of maintenance, low maintenance costs and low energy consumption are also key advantages.

                    FEATURES: 

                    • Transforms a bulk flow of parcels into a singulated flow for high-capacity sortation
