Burnt lime is not only hot (up to 80°C), but also abrasive and sensitive to handling. The aim was to convey it at a rate of approx. 12 t/h into a new round silo – without damaging the product, with minimal noise and as little maintenance as possible.
What made this project special was the complexity of the transport route, which required a total of four transfer stations and a considerable conveyor height of over 25 metres. These requirements could not be met with conventional conveyor systems. In addition, the system had to be weatherproof as it was installed outdoors.
NERAK WB300 Angle Bucket Elevator – flexible, robust and implemented jointly
The project was implemented precisely in close cooperation with our Austrian partner IFK Schüttgut-technik. The NERAK WB300 angle bucket elevators used master the transport of burnt lime without any problems – even at high temperatures and with demanding material properties.
The compact design with four deflection stations enables a conveyor solution that is precisely adapted to the structural conditions – at a height of over 25 metres. Thanks to a high-quality external coating and reliable housing sealing, the systems can be used outdoors on a permanent basis without any loss of performance or durability.
In addition, the low noise level ensures a pleasant working environment. The angular bucket elevators have been in low-maintenance use for around a decade – reliably and without disruption.
