"We evaluated different variants of mechanical transport systems," remembers Mr Berkan Fidan. In the end, OYAK Denizli opted for a single-source solution from BEUMER Group based on the innovative Pipe Conveyor technology. In May 2016, CTN MAKİNA, a supplier approved by BEUMER, manufactured all of the steel components for the system and started assembling both the imported components and those manufactured on site. BEUMER Group installed two conveyors, 206 and 190 metres long, as well as the corresponding equipment for the two lines. Each Pipe Conveyor reaches a capacity of 15 tons per hour. "This conveying technology is not only eco-friendly but requires low maintenance," describes Mr Michal Hrala of BEUMER Group. "Its enclosed type of construction protects the environment safely from material falling down and from emissions. Another advantage is the lack of dust development on the running line". With its ability to navigate horizontal and vertical curves, the Pipe Conveyor can be optimally adapted to the terrain. In comparison to other belt conveyors, the number of required transfer towers is considerably lower. This allows for substantial capital cost savings for the customer and BEUMER Group can customise the system to the individual routing.
