CASE COMPONENTS
-
PATENTED IDEAL SOLUTION
• Cost-effective storage technology for bulk materials such as wood chips made from waste wood
• Ideal for boiler feeding in biomass power plants and reception stations for larger storage units
• Fully automatic box evacuation without operating personnel
• Filling one or more boxes (up to 400 m) using a semi-trailer, tipping scrap skips or wheel loader on even ground
• Removal is effected over a sloping ramp with a conveying capacity of up to 100 m3/h
• No pit is required for this type of removal
• Drive, lifting device, mechanical devices are outside of the bulk material and always easy to maintain
• Very low power consumption -
RELIABLE DRAG CHAIN CONVEYOR
• Ideally suited as a discharge conveyor for bulk materials
• Conveying of material in the upper run by two external conveyor chains with a breaking force of 11.2 tonnes
• Conveyor chains run on low-wear chain slide rails
• Entire conveyor route is covered so that no material gets
into the chain
• Use of lower and upper bows enables almost freely selectable route -
ROBUST DISC SCREEN
• Ideally suited for separating overlengths from material such as green waste, waste wood and fresh wood
• Flexibly mounted disks prevent the material being conveyed from jamming
• Segmental design (one drive per segment) enables the length to be adjusted on a customer-specific basis

CUSTOMER BENEFIT
OPTIMISED ENERGY-SAVING SOLUTION
The plant breeding company implements a sustainable energy strategy in operating its greenhouses. The energy-saving Vecoplan® solution fits into this seamlessly. At the same time it ensures maximum availability and redundancy by means of two Toploader systems which operate independently of each other. Because no foundation work needed to be performed, the building costs were also comparatively low.
RELIABLE CONVEYING TECHNOLOGY
• Toploader is a patented licence product of Vecoplan®
• Vecoplan offers not only Toploader, but also a supplementary product such as conveying and screening technology
• Compact conveying concept from a single source
