Birsfelder Auhafen, a hub on the Rhine river, connects river, rail and road, making for optimal conditions for simple and inexpensive logistics. The unloading station of Landor AG was refurbished for the unloading of cargo ships with power shovels to the new silo with batch feed belt (year of construction 2013). In 2023 we are building a conveyor system in the port of Muttenz to link up with the fertiliser warehouse.

Project
Project 2013
As subcontractor, Frei Fördertechnik AG was responsible for the belt feeding and the curved conveyor belt. The pipe conveyor was replaced by a newly designed curved conveyor belt. The silo discharge with the belt feeder and the curved conveyor is the interface to the existing silo distribution system. The belt feeder is reversible for railway loading or loading in the existing feeding hopper with distribution system.
Project 2023
The scope of supply includes engineering, production and installation of the conveyor system. A total of 155 m of conveyor belts, one trolley and two platforms will be installed. In addition, adaptations are being made to the existing conveyor technology. The installation is being carried out under difficult conditions on lifting platforms under the existing roof.
