Reliable supplies
Paddle-wheel equipmentThis paddle-wheel stacker is used for the
intermediate storage of bauxite outdoors
and can be moved linearly over a distance
of around 330 metres horizontally. Despite
the long distance and rough conditions
caused by the bauxite dust and stones,
the equipment has to be supplied reliably
with data, various media and power. This was achieved with the aid of an igus®
heavy-duty roller chain which is also in a position to pick up and guide a DN40
water hose 200 metres long. The outer
chain fittings prevent the fine bauxite dust
being deposited in the side belts and thus
increases the availability of the overall
system.
