Ship Loading and Unloading
High Capacity Unloading - A new Discharge System for Self-unloading Ships
|
Self-unloading ships offer a proven solution to reduce shoreside facilities, resulting in significant savings in capital costs. A new, environmentally friendly discharge system promises to lower transport costs even further by decreasing unloading time and energy consumption. |
Cement Plant Automation
Çimko Kahramannmaras Cement Plant Automation: Integrated Solutions for the entire Equipment
|
Turkey‘s biggest cement production line with its single kiln, put into operation in only 20 months, uses integrated solutions for the complete electrical and automation system. This article illustrates how a smooth production operation was ensured up to service and maintenance in one of the biggest cement plants of Europe. |
Pneumatic Conveying
Efficient Cement Conveying: Moving Material at Maximum Density
|
With no doubt pneumatic conveying systems present the optimum solution for numerous different bulk material transport tasks. There is, however, plenty of room for improvements, e.g. with regard to energy consumption or pipe wear. A recently introduced new dense phase conveying concept promises to fill this room. |
Bag Handling
No Need for Pallets: Pallet-less Bag Packaging reduces Transport Costs
|
Pallets form the basis of the complex logistic system for dispatch of cement bags. But they are also part of the problem by adding complexity and increasing costs. A new bag packaging system renders the use of pallets unnecessary, generating significant savings. |
Dust Control
Dust Management – Think Outside the Square!
|
If fugitive particulate emissions are perceived to be significant, a facility may face increased regulatory requirements, more stringent environmental licence conditions and poor community relationships, which may potentially impact on the continuing operation of the facility. |
Dust Control
Electrostatic Precipitators: Retrofitting or Replacing – Which is Best?
|
Many old gas cleaning installations using electrostatic precipitators fail to meet the current legal emission requirements. There is more than one way to solve this problem, the questions is, what is the most efficient and cost effective option for your application |
Drive Systems & Components
Hydraulic Drive Systems- Solutions for Bulk Materials Handling Applications
|
Some of the characteristics of hydraulic motors make them especially suitable for being used as bulk material handling equipment. However, identifying the appropriate type for a certain task is not as trivial as it may seem. |
Belt Conveyor Technology
Innovative Coarse Ore Conveyor System in Chilean Copper Mine
|
Located high in the Andes, Minera Los Pelambres open-pit copper mine in Chile is operating successfully since 1999. Siemens technology, combined with customized services, help to make this mining operation one of the country’s showpieces for reliability, availability, energy efficiency and resource protection. |
Pneumatic Conveying
Blending and Delivery of Sherbet Products
|
Tangerine Confectionary, UK, installed a completely new sifting, mixing and vacuum delivery system for their relocated sherbet production. To meet the demand, the system has to run in three shifts, five days a week. Consequently, reliability is of vital importance. |
Bag Handling & Mechanical Conveying
Bulk Handling System keeps Explosives Plant clean
|
The bulk explosives production process at Minnesota Explosives frequently resulted in overflow and spill onto the floor. A revised process and new bulk handling equipment not only solved this problem, it also generated additional cost savings. |
