Clean transportation
Fresh concrete can be transported fast, automatically and without dripping wet concrete using bucket conveyors from the batching plant to where it is needed within a precast concrete plant.
Weckenmann supplies different types of conveyors as required: tipping buckets for flowable concrete, bucket with bottom discharge gate for dry concrete as well as a tandem bucket for the simultaneous transport of grey and coloured concrete. Depending on the type, the containers can hold up to 3,000 litres of hardened concrete.
The bucket conveyors reach a speed of 150 metres per minute, which can also be increased if necessary. The route to be travelled can be designed as a single or double-rail system and include curves, climbs and switches. The distance to be travelled inside the respective plant is irrelevant. The track can be up to several hundred metres Long.
Weckenmann bucket conveyor systems are available as an all-inclusive package. Weckenmann provides the customised design of the concrete conveyors tailored to the individual requirements of the customer – including controller and interface definition. The installation of the bucket conveyor and the servicing of equipment is also taken care of by the specialists from Dormettingen.
