At Bauma, Contitech will display conveyor belt systems that save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. There is a new, more flexible ContiClean A-H Conveyor Belt with improved low-temperature resistance and new application areas for the SICON belt conveyor system. SCR lines keep earthmoving machine engines cleaner and new hydraulic lines are more pressure-resistant all the time.
Core topics of ContiTech’s participation at Bauma 2010 are energy-efficient transport solutions, a low-temperature-resistant conveyor belt with anti-stick properties, and SCR modules for exhaust gas purification in machines and heavy-duty hydraulic lines. “These days technical solutions alone no longer spell market success,” says Hans-Jürgen Duensing, head of the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group. “That’s why we keep an eye on providing for sustainable operation in all our developments. Our conveyor belt solutions can help to eliminate large quantities of CO2.” Günter Frölich, head of ContiTech Fluid Technology also attaches great importance to an environmental outlook: “Our SCR hose lines for exhaust gas purification systems contribute to cleaner air. This is why they are in such high demand.”

In Munich the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group will be presenting a conveyor belt with an energy-optimised cover that can reduce the amount of energy a conveyor belt system consumes by up to 20%. Another topic of discussion is that of generating energy during downhill transport. It makes systems more economical and reduces the environmental impact. Bauma is the venue for the debut of the latest addition to the company’s range of ContiClean A-H anti-stick conveyor belts, which have proven themselves in flue-gas desulphurisation systems and elsewhere. “The new type can also be formed into a trough so that it is able to transport a lot more material than before,” says Andreas Ullmann, Head of the Industry segment. “A flexible material on the underside of the belt also makes it suitable for use at temperatures as low as minus 25°C.”

“Thanks to its pouched shape, the SICON deals with the transport of bulk goods in a wholly unique fashion,” explains Dr. Regina Gensigora, Head of the Engineered Products segment. “This flexible means of transport remains closed from feed point to discharge point and is thus ideally suited to the transport of goods that must be contained. What’s more the belt exhibits enormous dexterity in negotiating curves.” It is thus just right for transporting limestone, sand and gypsum.
ContiTech Fluid Technology brings two new products to the show: second generation SCR technology hose line modules that keep construction machine engines cleaner, and an expanded selection of hose line modules for hydraulic applications. “A technical highlight at the show is our range of complete line sets. They bear witness to our ability to offer customers all-embracing solutions,” says Robert Wurm, Head of the Industrial Lines segment. “They are delivered to the customer with fitting markings and filled with oil. This saves them the bother of having to individually screw the lines together.”
Alongside its known SCR lines – tried and tested a million times over – ContiTech now also offers an advanced second generation version of the lines, equipped with heated quick connectors.
Alongside its known SCR lines – tried and tested a million times over – ContiTech now also offers an advanced second generation version of the lines, equipped with heated quick connectors that guarantee that the medium always thaws, right up to the plug-in connection. The connectors are available in two types: With PUR coating of the entire plug, which is suitable for high unit volumes and makes for a very compact solution overall, and as an extremely flexible modular system with hinged manifold sleeves and a separate heating component. The second version is suitable, above all, for small to medium-size unit volumes. In future, ContiTech will also be offering three hose types for the SCR line: the previous standard solution; an advanced, higher-quality rubber hose; and a plastic solution.
