Products

Technical data

Feeders

Weigh feeders

Customised to your requirements, for efficient process control and production monitoring.

Accuracy± 0.5 %
Belt widthup to 2,000 mm
Load cellsIP68
Featuresrubber-lagged drive pulley; lateral belt replacement without removing pulleys

Loaders

Truck and railcar loaders

Platforms and feeder devices for loading bagged and boxed goods: a diverter system passes products directly or via a carriage onto slewing/luffing telescopic conveyors on either side.

Conveyors

Belt conveyors

Heavy-duty conveyors designed to your technical requirements and international standards.

Capacityup to 1,500 t/h
Belt width500 – 2,000 mm
Drivemotor, gear reducer; fluid coupling above 11 kW
Equipmentbelt cleaners, lateral guards, local push-button stations, line automation

Conveyors

Telescopic conveyors

For loading and unloading non-palletised goods — bags, cartons, bales, tyres, panels — from warehouse to truck or container, without lifting.

Belt width600 mm standard, up to 2,000 mm
Materialcarbon steel

Conveyors

Pipe conveyors

The belt is formed into a closed tube between head and tail pulley — on both carrying and return run — to convey material enclosed.

Capacityup to 1,500 t/h
Pipe diameter150 – 400 mm
Length and heighton request

Elevators

Bucket elevators

Buckets on chain or belt running over head and tail pulleys, enclosed in head, intermediate and tail casings; the take-up compensates changes in chain or belt length.

Chutes

Telescopic chutes

For loading bulk material onto trucks, trains and ships or into storage, with inner cones and an outer bellows to limit dust. Hoist with lifting cables outside the material flow; double bellows available for non-abrasive materials.

Capacityup to 8,000 t/h
Inlet diameter250 – 900 mm
Materialcarbon steel, stainless steel, wear-resistant lining
Temperature−40 °C to +120 °C

Systems

Stacking and reclaiming systems

Stackers, trippers, shuttle and movable conveyors to build stockpiles; scraper reclaimers in full-portal, semi-portal and side configurations to reclaim them — for iron ore, fertilizers, aggregates, coal, woodchips, grain and more.

Reclaimer capacityup to 1,500 t/h
Spanup to 60 m
Operationfully automatic
