Reliable conveying equipment for hot,

abrasive cement clinker is essential for
economic operation in cement plants.
Conveying systems forming the link
in materials management are vital for
the availability and productivity of the
entire plant.
To receive an optimum overall
conveying and storage layout, early
implementation of experienced layout
engineers is recommended.

DEEP DRAWN PAN CONVEYOR

TYPE KZB 250
Reliable conveying equipment for
hot, abrasive cement clinker is
essential for economic operation in
cement plants. Conveying systems
forming the link in materials
management are vital for the
availability and thus the productivity
of the entire plant.
Experience has shown that even
coolers of the latest design do not
always ensure effective reduction
of the clinker temperature. Red
spots may occur occasionally. Plant
operators who wish to be on the
save side choose AUMUND pan
conveyors for their reliability in
conveying hot materials.

AUMUND Deep-Drawn Pan

Conveyors type KZB 250 are
well-known for low maintenance,
tightness and a long service life.
They are particularly suitable for
applications with coolers. The
material is directly discharged
onto the Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyor
arranged over the whole length
of the cooler - a very economic
solution as drag chains are not
required.

Slopes up to 28
Patented pan sealing
Contact-free pan overlapping

AUMUND Deep-Drawn Pan

Conveyors are equipped either with
single-strand or double-strand
chains. The single-strand types
(central chains) are designed for a
max. pan width of 800 mm and for
low conveying capacities. Higher
conveying capacities are handled
with double chain strands
provided for pan widths from
800 to 3,000 mm.
Modular system
Electrical soft start
Variable-speed drives
with frequency control
Standard chain sizes with
breaking loads from 220 to
1,800 kN for each chain strand

Q U A L I T Y

The characteristic profile of the

bottom plates provides high
rigidity even with a pan width
exceeding 2,000 mm. DeepDrawn Pan Conveyors may be
designed with slopes matching
the angle of repose of the
conveyed material. Stiffeners
pressed into the side walls of
the pans as well as a special
sealing edge increase the pans
solidity and the dust-tight
fitting between the pans.
AUMUND attach particular
importance to the design of
feed chutes and dust hoods.
Proper dimensioning of
dedusting connections in the
transfer areas considerably
reduce the need for cleaning.
Weather covers, chutes for
collection of fines, distribution
chutes and flat gates complete
the product range.
The pan conveyors are driven
by bevel spur gears either foot
mounted with flexible coupling
between gearbox and drive
shaft or shaft-mounted. For
inclined conveying, the gear
box is fitted with a back stop.
A hydraulic coupling is installed
between gear box and motor
or, for soft start up of the
motor, with a flexible coupling.
Alternatively, the flexible
coupling between motor and
gearbox can be provided with
a disc brake to stop the fully
loaded conveyor in any given
position if the back stop fails
to work properly. Frequency
converters adapt the conveying
speed to the actual conveying
capacity, thus minimizing wear
and ensuring a longer service
life of chains, rollers and rails.

DEEP DRAWN PAN CONVEYOR

TYPE KZB-Q 250
Standard Deep-Drawn Pan
Conveyors with baffles are
applied for inclination angles
up to 40. The basic concept of
this economic inclined conveyor
includes the use of standard
elements like deep drawn pans,
chains and rollers.
The Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyor
type KZB-Q 250 is designed for
inclination angles between 28
and 40. These slopes are still
practicable for walkways in
conveyor bridges.
The AUMUND range of conveyor
chains shown on page 9 is
designed for lifts of more than
60 m. With an efficient plant
layout, feeding of clinker silos
can thus be performed with just
one conveyor.

Standardized components reduce

the variety of parts and constitute
the AUMUND modular system:
components such as sprockets,
chains, rollers and rails of
AUMUND pan conveyors are
interchangeable to a large extent,
an important asset for spare
parts management.
The deep-drawn pans are
equipped with baffles for inclined
conveying. These baffles are
bolted to the bottom plate and
hold in a loose fitting by cams
which arepressed into the upper
part of the side boards.The loose
fitting allows the baffles to bend
in case foreign bodies get onto
the conveyor. Bent baffles will
not affect proper functioning
of the conveyor, they may be
replaced at any time, for example
during a regular stop of the
system.
Tightness of side walls

Q U A L I T Y

As a standard, the rollers of

AUMUND pan conveyors are
separated from the traction
element, the chain. This
important design feature of
AUMUND pan conveyors
ensures that the chain selection
is always made to suit the
actual traction force, whereas
the rollers are chosen in
accordance with the weight of
the pan conveyor itself and
the conveyed material. The
separation of traction elements
and carrying elements
simplifies maintenance and
assembly.
All rollers are fastened to their
brackets by means of stub
shafts, a simple but efficient
and safe fixing means.
Depending on the respective
plate width, rollers are arranged
at intervals of 500, 1,000 or
1,500 mm.

BUCKET APRON CONVEYOR

TYPE BZB 250
AUMUND Bucket Apron
Conveyors type BZB 250 are
the proper solution for clinker
transport systems with up to
60 inclination. These conveyors
with their narrow curve radius
offer considerable advantages
particularly for the modernization
or conversion of existing plants
where only restricted space is
available.
The modular system also applies
for the AUMUND Bucket
Apron Conveyor, ensuring
interchangeability and combination
of components like those used for
the construction of Deep-Drawn
Pan Conveyors. Standardized
chains are used as well; merely
the angular fishplates are modified

for the solid bucket fixing. The

standard chain sizes are documented on page 9. The roller selection
suits the bucket size and the load
requirements. Standard roller
diameters are diameters 108/140
and 160 mm.The standard roller
spacing is 1,000 mm which means
that one out of two buckets is
fitted with a set of rollers. Same as
the deep drawn pan conveyor, the
Bucket Apron Conveyor features
the proven roller brackets and stub
shafts to fasten the rollers.
An essential asset of AUMUND
Bucket Apron Conveyors - the tight
bucket arrangement - above all
takes effect where very finegrained clinker with a high ratio
of dust has to be conveyed. To

increase the buckets solidity and

ensure safe operation, the bucket
bottom is provided with a built-in
stiffener. Depending on the
individual plant requirements,
the overlapping of the buckets
is either forward or backward.

Slopes up to 60
Lifts exceeding 60 m
Minimum curve radius 8 m
Tight bucket arrangement for
fine-grained materials

Standard bucket sizes are

available up to a width of 1,600
mm. When choosing the bucket
size, it has to be considered that
the actual conveying capacity
is subject to a reduction factor
defined by the angle of inclination.

Q U A L I T Y

The reduction factor is based

upon the assumption that the
material in the bucket will form
an angle of repose of at least
25. If feeding of the material is
arranged in the inclined section
only, a higher reduction must
be accounted for as the factor
will decrease gradually to a
water filling level.
In particular large buckets with
a width of 1.200 mm and more
require adequate design of the
feed chutes. For a uniform
bucket filling, feed chutes with
saddles have proved to be a
good solution, as they ensure
even material distribution over
the whole bucket width. Expert
planning of the chute system is
therefore considered to be a
pre-requisite for trouble-free
operation with only little dust
generation.
The take-up station standard
provides for spring tensioning.
In special cases counterweights
are added where considerable
chain elongations resulting
from considerable temperature
differences of the conveyed
material have to be compensated. C-shaped cleaning
scrapers arranged around the
take-up station and recycling
the collected fines, are used to
minimize cleaning around the
take-up station. Depending
on the contents of fines in
the conveyed material, the
operating time of these
cleaning scrapers can be
adjusted by means of sequence
control. For the drive station
area, fines collecting chutes
are the most suitable solution.
Frequency controlled motors
are provided to adapt the
conveyor speed to varying
conveying capacities.
Monitoring of the bucket
filling level or control of the
drive unit form part of the
equipment.

Pivoting Pan Conveyor type SPB - operation principle

PIVOTING PAN CONVEYOR

TYPE SPB
Wherever feeding of more than two
clinker silos or several mill hoppers
in line is required, AUMUND
Pivoting Pan Conveyors type SPB
have proved a reliable solution.
With its intermediate discharge
stations placed at any given
position, the Pivoting Pan Conveyor
ensures multiple distribution of
various materials with just one
conveyor.
A pan reversing system integrated
into the drive and take-up station
allows for simultaneous material
conveying in the upper and lower
run. The graphic shows the
principle of the pan reversing
system as well as specific feeding
and discharge features. Depending

10

on given requirements, upper run

feeding can be performed by a
simple feed chute whilst a two-way
chute feeds the lower run. All feed
chutes are equipped with overflow
systems for direct feeding of the
silos or hoppers during periods
when the Pivoting Pan Conveyor
is not in operation. The overflow
chutes` operation principle is
illustrated by the examples for
clinker silo and mill hopper
feeding.
Simultaneous conveying in the
upper and lower run provides
multiple solutions for material
handling. For example, material
discharged onto the upper run
can subsequently be transferred

to the lower run through a discharge

station located on the upper run.
The material may then be
distributed into clinker silos or
mill hoppers through discharge
stations on the lower run.
Separate conveying on the upper
as well as the lower run is another
possibility. A hopper can thus be
loaded with cement clinker by way
of the lower run, whilst for example
gypsum is conveyed on the upper
run. These are just two out of many
solutions available either for new
plants or, in particular, for
conversion or modernization in
existing plants.

Standardized components and the variety

of applications make the Pivoting Pan
Conveyor a versatile and reliable system.
The variety of applications and the
related operations require perfect
functioning of the individual components
such as the discharge stations and the
pan and chain arrangement. The
conveying elements of the Pivoting Pan
Conveyor consist of 1 m long pans
equipped with rollers at one end and
with a carrier axle at the other end. The
carrier axle allowing the pan to perform
the reversing movement is linked to both
chain strands. The graphic demonstrates
how the pans in the lower run are pulled
by the carrier axle while being pushed in

the upper run. This arrangement enables

the material discharge by lowering the
rails in the discharge station and by
turning the pans in the drive and take-up
stations.
With their slightly conical shape the pans
overlap by approx. 70 mm. This pan
arrangement with side boards of 150 or
200 mm forms a tight material carrying
surface.

For intermediate discharge into either

silos or hoppers, the discharge stations
are of stationary design. Switching from
one discharge station to the other is
performed by a lever system lowering
the corresponding rail and actuated
by a gear motor.The rail points setting
is controlled by limit switches. The
position of the rollers is monitored at
any given moment to prevent their
collision with the rails during the
switching operations. The whole system
is PLC-controlled for smooth and safe
operation.
Feeding of long clinker storage halls
requires continuous shifting of the
discharge point. Mobile discharge
carriages which can be moved to any
given position above the hall are used
with this particular application. A
capstan drive actuates the movement of
the discharge carriage. If moved while
clinker is being conveyed, the clinker is
continuously distributed over the whole
travel length of the carriage. A slotted
discharge opening in the storage hall
roof is required over the carriages
travel length. A roof-shaped rubber
strip sealing minimizes dust emission
through the slotted opening. Sensors
fitted to the conveyor supports monitor
the position of the discharge carriage.
Level indicators control automatic
shifting of the carriage as soon as a
maximum filling level is reached inside
the storage hall.
The Pivoting Pan Conveyor is designed
for a multitude of applications.The
examples shown provide information
on technical modifications which have
been repeatedly been carried out:

Most outdated clinker storage halls
are equipped with overhead travelling
cranes to either distribute clinker in the
hall in continuous operation or to feed
the mill hoppers. Also additives like
gypsum and sand have to be conveyed
to the respective mill hoppers. This
application is best served with a Pivoting
Pan Conveyor ensuring automated
feeding of the mill hoppers and
representing an economic and sensible
project. The Pivoting Pan Conveyor and
the discharge stations are controlled by
material level sensors in the mill hoppers
and ensure feeding on demand.
This operation mode is efficient and
minimizes dust generation in the clinker
hall, thus providing improved working
conditions for the crane driver and
allowing to comply with environmental
regulations.

SILO DISCHARGE
For clinker silo discharge with low dust
emission, for proportional addition of lowburnt or foreign clinker AUMUNDs range
of products includes gravity discharge
systems operating in combination with the
Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyor type KZB 250.
The gravity discharge unit is designed
to prevent the clinker from falling in an
uncontrolled manner onto the pan
conveyor. The material column on the pan
conveyor is reclaimed with low speed thus
minimizing the generation of dust and
avoiding dust filters. The gravity discharge
systems are provided with a shell valve
which can either be operated manually or
by means of a gear motor. As the height
of the material layer on the pan conveyor
is preset during commissioning, the
discharge capacity and feeding onto
the subsequent conveying equipment is
maintained at a fixed rate.
For maximum use of the stored volume,
large clinker silos are equipped with a
multitude of gravity discharge units. The
motorized discharge units are actuated
by remote control to allow for automatic
change of the discharge points at regular
intervals and uniform discharge of the
stored material.
For automatic operation the pan conveyor
is fitted with an ultrasonic sensor ensuring
switching from one silo discharge point to
another if the material flow is insufficient.
Combined with the Deep-Drawn Pan
Conveyor, the silo discharge systems
are used in direct feeding of the mill
hoppers. The 20 m curve radius and the
28 inclination of the pan conveyor allow
for a layout with a direct conveying line,
thus avoiding additional transfer points.

REVERSIBLE CONVEYOR
For special plant constellations, alternate
conveying into two directions is required. The
appropriate solution for this application is the
Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyor of special design:
the reversible pan conveyor. By simply changing
the travel direction, alternate feeding of two
clinker silos is possible with just one conveyor.

Clinker silos 2 x 60,000 t

This design developed by AUMUND is based

on a divided deep-drawn pan and half a chain
pitch, i.e. 125 mm. By alternating a troughshaped bottom plate with a cover plate to
form the well-known deep-drawn pan with
the 250 mm spacing, conveying is possible in
both directions. The illustration demonstrates
that the combination of one bottom plate
and one cover plate each bolted onto the two
corresponding chain links is guided around the
sprocket as a rigid unit. Always one cover plate
points in the requested conveying direction.
This is achieved by defining the adequate
center distance, which, for this reversible DeepDrawn Pan Conveyor, comes up to a multiple
of 250 mm plus 125 mm. This asymmetrical
center distance ensures that the adequate
turning point of the chain articulation matches
the given conveying direction. With this
arrangement the overlapping cover plates
always point in the chosen conveying direction.
For the reversible Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyor, a
horizontal arrangement is preferred. For larger
center distances a drive unit can be installed
for both sprockets.

COMPONENTS
AUMUND pan conveyors feature standardized
components wich have proved reliable in practical
operation for a thousand times. With the concept
of a modular system, components of different
pan conveyor types are interchangeable, a major
advantage for spare parts management.
AUMUND pan conveyor tracks feature bogietype rails complying with DIN/EN 5901/5902.
The rail size ranging from S14 to S30 is chosen
in accordance with the pan conveyor size. In the
curved area, the rollers are guided by upper
guide-rails to prevent the conveying elements
from being lifted off the rails. The standard curve
radius for Deep-Drawn Pan Conveyors is 20 m
whereas the curve radius for Bucket Apron
Conveyors may be reduced to 8 m.
The standard roller design for AUMUND pan
conveyors features a tempered running surface
and a sealing system preventing dust penetration.

16

Multiple metal sealing, a labyrinth seal and a

grease chamber form part of the system
and provide efficient protection against dust
penetration without the necessity of relubrication.
AUMUND rollers are fitted with stub shafts
connected to the roller bracket by a simple
hexagon head screw for quick and easy
dismantling.
The drive and tail shaft sprockets are equipped
with exchangeable toothed segments allowing
to replace the sprocket segments even with the
conveyor strand closed. The sprockets feature a
double tooth pitch and ensure meshing with the
sprocket teeth only after each second turn. As a
result, the service life of the segments is twice
as long as with a single tooth pitch.
The standard chains of AUMUND pan conveyors
are listed in the table on page 9.

ACCESSORIES

C-shaped cleaning scraper, tension station

Two-way distribution chute

Three-way distribution chute

In order to minimize cleaning

especially at take-up and feeding
stations, AUMUND cleaning
scrapers ensure automatic
recycling of spillage onto the
conveyor. These scrapers are
available as C-shaped scrapers
for installation around the take-up
station or as straight scrapers for
installation underneath any given
point of the conveyor. Operation
of the scraper is controlled by a
timer for intermittent operation
actuating the gear motor on
account of the actual amount of
spillage. Cleaning may further
be reduced by installing fines
recycling chutes.
Remote control of downstream
conveying directions is performed
with the AUMUND two or threeway distribution chute. The chutes
are fitted with shell gates actuated
either by a gear motor or a
hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder.
Casing and shell gates are of
wear-resistant design for a long
service life. Motorized flat gates of
sturdy design complete the range
of accessory equipment for
material distribution.
If required, an automatic lubrication
system may be provided for
intermittent chain lubrication.

In addition, AUMUND offers

maintenance trolleys with rack
and pinion drive to be installed
inside conveyor bridges for
transportation of heavy tools, oil
bins or equipment components to
the top of high clinker silos. The
maintenance trolleys are designed
to suit any angle of inclination.
The range of accessory equipment
is completed by truck and ship
loading systems with low dust
generation and electronic control
for easy loading operations.
