Overland conveyors with vertical and horizontal curves for piece goods and for bulk material handling

Overland conveyors with vertical and horizontal curve technology for handling both bulk materials and piece goods.
BEUMER has supplied conveying installations, for bulk materials and piece goods, worldwide for several decades. Belt conveyors with long center distances offer many economical and technical advantages over other types of long distance handling, such as labor intensive trucking. BEUMER horizontal curve technology allows for the installation of conveyors unique to the application. Some of these installations are outlined in this brochure. BEUMER conveying installations the solution to your problems.

Quarry

The installation of this conveyor guarantees a continuous flow of raw material from the primary preparation plant in the quarry and the cement operations. The layout design had many considerations to take into account, including mountains and valleys, rugged terrain and crossing of a road and river. Due to the topography of the conveyor route, this installation featured the integration of horizontal curves into vertical curves.

The requirement of this leading mail order company was for a reliable, continuous means of transport for a large quantity of parcels between the packing plant and the distribution center.

The only available option was to install a conveyor alongside and parallel to an existing railway line. In doing this, up to 50 trips per day by heavy trucks, through residential areas were successfully

eliminated. Besides all the economic benefits that were realized by the installation of the BEUMER conveyor, there was an enormous contribution to environmental protection.

The 2360 meter long horizontal curved belt conveyor is used for the development of a new limestone quarry. The loading of the main belt conveyor is done from

a 300 meter long moveable feed conveyor that has a charging hopper. The charging hopper is fed by mobile loading equipment at the quarry face. The installation of

this curved belt conveyor is through public access areas, so personal safety and environmental protection had to be of prime concern.

Installation Rheinkalk, Hnnetal Plant / Germany

Until the installation of the tube belt conveyor, the railway system was used for the internal plant handling of the burned limestone between the kiln and the grinding installation. The use of a BEUMER tube belt conveyor greatly reduced the high costs associated with the original track system and met the customer requirements for a continuous, clean system that will be flexible enough and adaptable to fit into existing space confines, while offering optimum performance.
