Portlandzementwerk Wotan H. Schneider, situated in ÜxheimAhütte in the Volcanic Eifel in Western Germany has acquired a pipe conveyor system manufactured by Beumer Group to transport clinker to its cement mill. The 200-metre-long conveying system is customised to fit perfectly into the local environment. Since the system is completely enclosed, no material can fall on the road or passing vehicles. Additionally, absolutely no dust is released into the air, which greatly benefits the environment. Furthermore, the conveyor is economical in operation, energy-efficient and maintenance-friendly.
