Pneumatic Conveying Solutions – Transport of Metal Particles by Means of Negative Pressure
By N. Barlmeyer – Pneumatic conveying of punched metal parts using negative pressure is a real challenge. Johnson Controls is generally using negative pressure systems for conveying of punch waste in the production of lead-grids for starter batteries for automobiles. For a new production line of battery-grids the company selected a positive displacement blower. Continue reading Pneumatic Conveying Solutions – Transport of Metal Particles by Means of Negative Pressure
Similar Materials – Easily Broken: Tubular Drag Cable Conveyors for Sensitive Materials
By K. Seidel – Tubular drag cable conveyors are somewhat unconventional – not speedy or particularly high-volume. However, this extremely flexible conveyor system has the big advantage that it doesn’t cause much breakage, even if very friable materials are conveyed. Continue reading Similar Materials – Easily Broken: Tubular Drag Cable Conveyors for Sensitive Materials
Skip-Conveying in Opencast Mines – An Approach to optimise Cost and Energy Efficiency in Hard Rock Mines
By F.M. Wolpers – A special mining method developed by thyssenkrupp allows ore and overburden in hard rock mines to be transported more efficiently and with significantly lower environmental impact. It involves an integrated conveying and processing system to avoid heavy truck transportation in inverted cone-shaped opencast mines. Continue reading Skip-Conveying in Opencast Mines – An Approach to optimise Cost and Energy Efficiency in Hard Rock Mines
Tough Conditions, robust Run – Rolling Bearings in Bulk Conveying Applications
By W. Schleyer – In the bulk conveying industry, new improvements in rolling bearing technology open new application fields or allow the optimisation of existing designs by increase the bearing life or realising a power enhancement.

Options for Long-Distance Large Capacity Conveying – A Comparison of Continuous Overland Conveying Systems
By B. Wilson, S.J. Davis, M. Wolton – The conventional overland conveyor is limited in ability with respect to gradient and alignment curvature. However, there are two less-traditional conveying systems worthy of evaluation against conventional conveyors for long-distance, large-capacity installations, the Cable Belt and the Ropecon System. Continue reading Options for Long-Distance Large Capacity Conveying – A Comparison of Continuous Overland Conveying Systems
