What was the customer's challenge to us?
The Turkish cement manufacturer Göltaş Çimento decided to meet the increased demand for cement with an upgrade and modernization of its kiln. It also wanted to increase the conveying capacity of the clinker conveyor system from 250 to 400 tonnes per hour.
At the time, a chain apron conveyor transported the clinker to the silo.
One problem with the Göltaş Çimento plant: in order to produce economically, the manufacturer had been relying increasingly on alternative fuels for several years.
As a result, the fines content of the feed material was continuously increasing – an extremely dirty job, for which cleaning personnel had to be constantly assigned. The existing conveyor was already transporting material at its capacity limit before the conversion.
