PROBLEM:
The customer encountered various problems on one of the main conveyors taking coal from the hoppers to the boiler rooms:
- Overflowing of material => employees required to carry out regular cleaning & substantial maintenance of station rollers
- Polluting & explosive atmosphere
OBJECTIVE:
Reduce loss of products & cleaning/maintenance time and purify the atmosphere.
SOLUTION:
15 m of wide (1000 mm) LIFTUBE from a raise equipped with a 2 m hopper hood.
RESULT:
The sealing of the conveyor was optimised and enabled the customer to reduce dust emissions, loss of material and therefore the cleaning/maintenance time by 95%.
