Cement Manufacturing
Lime kiln
Building Materials
A lime kiln is used to produce quicklime through the calcination of limestone. Here the furnace is filled from the top and the calcined limestone (quicklime) is collected at the bottom of the furnace....
Lime powder silo
Building Materials
After the calcined lime is cooled, it is sorted into different sizes and stored for further processing. Most of the lime is further processed to lime powder. For optimum production planning, a reliab...
Truck loading
Building Materials
Dust-free, closed loading systems are needed for fine aggregates and finished products such as cement. Automated loading of trucks is preferred in the industry and, while the load quantity is determin...
Cement silo
Building Materials
Before further processing, the cement is stored in tall silos. The cement is transported both in and out of the silo via pneumatic conveying. Efficient storage and transport of the product is ensured...
Material Processing
Bitumen tank
Building Materials
Bitumen is an important ingredient in asphalt production. It binds stone aggregates together to form the finished asphalt. To enable cost-effective asphalt production, reliable level measurement and o...
Mixing tower
Building Materials
Materials such as concrete and mortar are needed in widely different compositions depending on the application. The various raw materials are stored in segmented towers, which then blend cement, lime...
Mobile diesel tanks
Building Materials
Diesel is stored in tanks on construction sites to supply the construction vehicles with fuel directly on site. A sufficient supply of diesel fuel is essential for optimal construction site operation....
Mobile storage tanks
Building Materials
Safe filling and timely routing of tanker trucks is essential for reliable bitumen supply. The medium is hot and viscous and places high demands on both handling and safety. Accurate level measurement...
Salt silo
Building Materials
During the winter season the highways and road maintenance departments safeguard the roads, public squares and pedestrian paths by clearing off snow and ice. The quantities of road salt required are s...
Silo for ready mixed asphalt
Building Materials
Different qualities are required from the asphalt depending on the usage and climatic conditions, so every asphalt mixture varies depending on the application. Asphalt is always extremely viscous, hot...
Styrofoam silo
Building Materials
In the manufacture of stucco with special insulating properties, Styrofoam is also added to the traditional sand, lime and cement mixture. With a bulk density of only a few grams per litre, Styrofoam...
Transport containers
Building Materials
In order to process building materials such as mortar, plaster or grout effectively, they are delivered directly to the construction site in transport silos. There, water is added as required and the...
Quarrying
Buffer and production silos
Building Materials
After crushing and screening, the different aggregates are transported via conveyor belts and distributed among the silos. Before further processing, the stones, gravel or rock flour are stored in buf...
Bulk solids stockpile
Building Materials
After being crushed, screened and sorted into different grain sizes, the gravel and sand are transported on conveyors and stored in large stockpiles. To automate the stockpiling levels and enable the...
Conveyor belt
Building Materials
Bulk aggregates are fed into production processes via conveyor belts or screw conveyors. For effective feed control to and from these processes, or inter-production unit billing, the mass flow of the...
Conveyor belt transfer station
Building Materials
The transport of coarse and fine bulk solids within a stone processing facility takes place in most cases via conveyor belts. To achieve an even throughput and compensate for volume fluctuations durin...
Crusher
Building Materials
Large boulders are loosened from the solid bedrock through blasting. Further steps are then required to process the rock into basic building materials such as crushed rock, gravel or sand. The large s...
Large storage silos
Building Materials
To ensure continuous production, even if material production is interrupted, the raw materials are stored in large bunkers with heights of over 30 m and diameters of up to 20 m. The large dimensions o...
