Efficient solutions for the conveying and storage of problematic bulk materials

For the last 25 years Aumund Fördertechnik has exhibited at every edition of ­Munich’s bauma. In 2016 participation in trade fairs remains paramount for the Aumund Group. All three product companies of the Aumund Group are exhibiting; Aumund Fördertechnik, Schade Lagertechnik and the UK operation, Samson Materials Handling. The Aumund Group is showing its portfolio for the cement industry in Hall B2, on Stand No. 143. Samson Materials Handling is making its first appearance in the Mining Hall, C2, Stand No. 245, presenting its mobile materials transportation equipment (see also page 22).

Aumund

Around 60 years ago the first Aumund conveyor with deep-drawn pans for the transportation of clinker was installed. Since then Aumund has become an international market leader in products and efficient solutions for the conveying of problematic (especially hot and abrasive) bulk materials in the cement industry and related sectors worldwide. The range of these products and solutions encompasses feeding, extraction and transportation solutions in all stages of cement production processes, in particular from the cement mill to clinker dispatch.

Building on extensive product and process knowledge in the cement industry, Aumund has also been very successful with its equipment in minerals/raw materials and mining. Solid know-how has been developed over time in the many diverse methods of mining, processing and refining different natural resources with the most varied of characteristics. Aumund machines are also utilised for the conveying and storage of fertilisers and non-metallic minerals, as well as in iron, steel and aluminium production and in foundries.

Aumund creates flexible, individual solutions for their customers, based on standard components. Bucket elevators, pan conveyors, chain conveyors, silo technology and extraction and discharge systems are designed with maximum capacities and meet the highest technical demands. The installation on site is supervised by specialised engineers and after sales service personnel.

Vertical conveyors of up to 180 m, solutions for crusher feeding and discharge of up to 11000 t/h as well as pressure shock resistant conveyors are representative examples of the strength of the Aumund solutions. Metered silo feeding and metered silo extraction as well as dust suppressed loading of ships, railway wagons and trucks complete the product portfolio of the Aumund Group.

The minerals sector is increasingly convinced by Aumund’s worldwide experience in the construction of specialised machinery. Besides the flagship classics, such as belt bucket elevators and pan conveyors, the installed heavy plate conveyors for crusher feeding are proving that Aumund has more to show for itself than decades of experience in limestone processing.

Growth in market share has been achieved over many years, not only in the sale of new machinery, but also by ­Aumund’s after sales service and conversion departments, with their own solutions for increasing productivity and minimising manufacturing down times and maintenance costs. Conversions of equipment using Aumund components are carried out on Aumunds’s and others’ machines. Aumund is always in close proximity to its customers, thanks to its ten sales subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, North and South America, along with four service centres and spare parts warehouses in Germany, USA, Hong Kong and Brazil.

Schade

Schade Lagertechnik has been one of the leading manufacturers of stacking and reclaiming technology for bulk materials stockyards and blending beds for more than 135 years. Its roots are in the coal-fired power industry, but it has also become a market leader in the cement industry with its longitudinal and circular storage and blending bed technology. Schade Lagertechnik also offers machinery and solutions for customers in the minerals/raw materials industry as well as in ports and terminals, taking advantage of the international network of the ­Aumund Group’s worldwide sales partners.
