Two Aumund arched-plate apron feeders, each with a conveying capacity of 6000 t/h, are heading for northern Mauretania. They will be employed there by a leading mining company for bunker unloading of iron-sinter, crushed and ground iron-ore as well as iron-pellets. Delivery is planned for June of this year. With their arched-shaped plates, Aumund arched-plate apron feeders form a surface which makes cleaning possible with a scraper. The task of regulating unloading capacity is performed by a speed-controlled drive. The lighter versions of these feeders can, by the way, also be equipped with a weighing rail and frequency-controlled drive and be employed as a weigh-feeder.
Over the last decade the transport infrastructure in Mauritania, as well as the ore stockyards and shipunloading facilities, have been continually modernised in order to further expand the ore business. This is already one of the most important revenue sources for the West African country. The industrial group, in which the State has a 70% shareholding, yields approximately half of its revenues from this sector.
Aumund’s conveying and storage specialists have special expertise at their disposal when dealing with bulk materials. With their high degree of individuality, both its technically sophisticated as well as innovative products have contributed to the Aumund Group today being a market leader in many areas of conveying and storage technology. The manufacturing companies Aumund Fördertechnik GmbH, Schade Lagertechnik GmbH, B&W Mechanical Handling as well as Aumund Logistik GmbH are consolidated under the umbrella of the Group. In conjunction with the headquarters of the manufacturing companies, the global conveying and storage technology business is spearheaded by a total of eight locations in Asia, Europe, North and South America.
