Scrap conveyor system for stamping scrap with railcar loading
Our customer
Automotive manufacturer with a stamping plant processing steel and aluminum.
Our solution
For the removal of steel and aluminum stamping scrap, we provided a scrap conveyor system comprising three hinged belt conveyors. The conveyors transport the production scrap over a total conveying length of approximately 120 meters.
The system conveys the materials separately to a fully automatic railcar loading system. The conveying capacity is approximately 44 metric tons per hour. The longest individual conveyor is 91 meters long.
Swivel chutes, a structural steel framework and platforms complete the scope of supply. The complete system connects scrap conveying in the stamping plant with automatic loading for onward transport by rail.
Advantages for the customer
Separate material streams
Steel and aluminum are conveyed separately within the system. This helps preserve separate material streams for recycling.
Fully automatic railcar loading
The loading system automatically discharges the material into railcars. This reduces the manual effort required to load the stamping scrap.
