Thailand: Germany-based Beumer has replaced the belt of a 3.5km raw materials conveying system at TPI Polene’s cement plant. It used a process that allows the new belt to be inserted into the system and the old belt to be pulled out only in one go, instead of exchanging the single belt sections one after other. The supplier says that this resulted in ‘substantial’ time saving for the customer and avoided unplanned system failures.

Beumer originally commissioned the conveying system in 2015. The 2200t/hr system consists of two regenerative belt conveyors with system control, transfer stations and filter systems, as well as foreign material separators. 989m of further belt conveying systems are used to remove the material from the blending bed and to feed the primary hopper of the raw mills complete the system. Installation took 11 months, followed by a three-month commissioning period.

Germany: Beumer has partnered with technology start-up Elara Digital to launch a cloud-based database product to provide overviews, orchestrate communication and access information for repairs and the smooth operation of machinery. Relevant information such as work orders, checklists, machine documentation or guides for trouble shooting can be created and accessed at any time creating a knowledge database for maintenance teams. The supplier says that the application is compatible with a simple mobile application, giving cement plant workers, ‘the factory know-how in your pocket.’

Managing Director Robert Bach said, "My job is to find young entrepreneurs with business ideas that are relevant to us."

Germany: Beumer Group has appointed Alexander Tigges as the director of global sales for its Conveying & Loading Systems division.

Austria: Lafarge Zement has ordered a new conveying system for raw materials and alternative fuel (AF) for its Mannersdorf cement plant from Germany-based Beumer Group. The system consists of two pipe conveyors. The first will be 192m long with a capacity of 22t/hr. While the second will be 87m long and have a conveying capacity of 10t/hr. The lifting heights will be approximately 39m and the maximum angle of inclination will be 15 degrees. The order also includes three buffer bins and a weigh feeder.

The system replaces the cement plant’s pre-existing conveyors, which were seriously damaged in a fire in June 2020. Beumer will be responsible for delivery, installation, engineering and commissioning of the new conveyors. Commissioning is scheduled for mid-April 2021.

It also reported an increased rate of digitisation, less personal interaction with customers and an increased reliance on alternative fuels.

Cement head of sales Kay Wieczorek said, "Over past months, Covid-19 has forced us to cope with some changes. This will probably bother us even more in the colder months." He added, "Even if the Covid-19 figures are currently in progress, I am sure that BEUMER Group will come through this crisis pretty well; we just have to be well-prepared for it."
