Is a Pipe Conveyor worthwhile? For the Shandong Steel Group & Rizhao Steel Group, definitely!

How can large quantities of iron ore be transported from the port to the steel mill? This was the question posed by Shandong Steel Group & Rizhao Steel Group, who needs the bulk material for its production. Until now, the Chinese steelmaker relied on a closed pipe conveyor, which carries the material safely sealed across roads, residential areas or rivers. However, the plant's capacity had gradually been exhausted and could no longer handle the conveying volume. The question was now: should the plant use the well-developed and extensive rail and road network or invest in another conveyor technology solution?
