Material Handling

SOLUTIONS FOR EFFICIENT & OPTIMIZED STORAGE MANAGEMENT

Along with our Technology partners, we develop projects for the storage and transport of materials in various sectors such as port terminals, mining, cement, steel, power plants, fertilizers, Oil&Gas, or agri-food. We offer complete technological solutions from the feasibility stages to the start-up of the facilities.

Storage Systems

We design circular or longitudinal storage yards equipped with a wide range of collecting and combining machines, allowing for a high degree of homogenization.

Port Equipment

As port system specialists, we offer multiple solutions for handling all types of solid bulks, such as coal, iron ore, bauxite, fertilizers, clinker, cement and cereals.

MARINE LOADING ARMS

- Marine Loading Arms are equipment made for oil and gas transferring made by a self-sustaining structure composed of piping and swivel joints with high reliability and low maintenance.
- We can provide MLA suitable to cover the complete range from -196°C up to +200°C and from 19 bar up to 150 bar for all on/off-shore applications. Customized solutions are also available based on specific requirements, including MLA on trailers.

STACKERS

- Stacking machines are primarily used to fill bulk materials into stockpiles or to create various types of blending beds serving for homogenization of materials with different properties.
- In longitudinal stockyards the most common are rail-mounted mobile stackers. The discharge booms of these stackers are often slewable and/or can be raised and lowered.

PORTAL SCRAPER

-  
The portal of a portal scraper fully spans the stockpile. The scraper boom is moved by a hoist. The bulk material is transferred to the discharge conveyor via a transfer trough (located outside the portal) or a feedtable (inside the portal).

STACKER-RECLAIMERS & BUCKET WHEEL RECLAIMERS

- The blending or pre-homogenization process within one storage facility is ensured by the combination of a specific type of stacking technology with a specific type of unloading technology. 

CIRCULAR STACKER-RECLAIMERS

- Due to their compact design, circular stacker-reclaimers are well suited for the roofed storage of bulk materials. In contrast to longitudinal stockyards, the continuous process of simultaneous loading and unloading of a single circular building is possible without restrictions.

SHIP LOADERS

- We offer a variety off loading systems, including :
 Stationary shiploaders
    > Mobile shiploaders mounted on rails 

    > Quadrant radial-type shiploaders

    > Ship loaders with gravity spiral chute for loading 

bagged goods.

SHIP UNLOADERS

- For bulk materials unloading, two types of handling systems are basically deployed: continuous and discontinuous. We offer: 

- Grab-type unloaders with a movable superstructure and a single-link or double-link luffing boom.

-Grab-type unloaders with rail-mounted portal bridge.

CONTINUOUS SHIP UNLOADING SYSTEMS

- Ship unloaders with bucket elevators are significantly more efficient and flexible in the emptying of a hold than grab-type unloaders. 
- The continuous mode of operation helps reduce the environmental footprint. and allows for dust-free and low-noise operation.

TRAIN LOADING 

- Automatic train loading systems enable continuous

loading of railroad wagons. During loading, the fill level is monitored by ultrasonic sensors. When the desired fill level is reached, the knife gate of the hopper outlet opening automatically closes.

WAGON UNLOADING

- Custom-designed wagon tippler stations unload the entire wagons either by tipping or a rotary (flipping) mechanism until the material is discharged by gravity through the wagon loading bay opening.
