AUMUND all set to deliver conveyor technology to Mytilineos S.A.
Aumund Fördertechnik GmbH, the German-based producer of conveying technology will be delivering an arched plate conveyor to Mytilineos S.A. in Agios Nikolaos on the Gulf of Corinth (Greece).
The location, at which the Mytilineos metallurgy and technology group operates a plant, produces aluminium in a two-step process.
After the mining and processing of the bauxite, Mytilineos generates alumina from the enriched ore, which forms the basis for the electrolytic production of metallic aluminium in Agios Nikolaos.
As this is a specialized requirement in terms of both the material and the application, so the conveying process in the plant consists of discharging bauxite from a silo, and onward transportation to a rod mill by an arched plate conveyor type BPB 250-1200. In designing the Arched Plate Conveyor, the company had to consider among others.
The material-specific properties of bauxite, i.e. abrasiveness, dustiness, angle of repose and also the fact that it can sometimes be sticky.
A major advantage in winning the order was being able to arrange the customer’s visit to a cement plant in Volos, where a similar arched plate conveyor is in operation.
