The 22nd Belt Conveyors and Their Components Conference will take place on 19–20 May 2026. The programme will address current topics relating to continuous conveyors. The interesting technical presentations will be complemented by the well-known supporting programme with joint dinners and an excursion. Once again, there will be many opportunities for lively discussion. We look forward to seeing you at HDT. About the topic Continuous conveyors play a very important role in material transport, largely independent of the industry, whether in underground mining, open-cast mining or port facilities. The correct selection of the individual components, which complement each other to form a complex system, is of great importance here. In the bulk solids industry, in addition to costs, the aspects of service life and availability also play a major role. Objective The HDT Belt Conveyors and Their Components conference, an annual industry gathering, will once again bring together 2026 engineers and scientists from the belt conveyor sector in a face-to-face event with a parallel product exhibition.

Join industry leaders in Essen this May to explore the next generation of conveyor technology. From AI-driven maintenance to sustainable quarrying, we bridge the gap between technical safety and economic efficiency. If bulk materials are to be conveyed reliably and energy-efficiently, belt conveyors are indispensable in many plants. This is exactly where our conference comes in. In five selected program highlights, the conference addresses key future topics related to the operation, safety, and design of belt conveyor systems: Enhancing Safety: Biomass Fire Prevention and Monitoring Yevhen Redka (Artur Küpper GmbH & Co. KG) explains why conveying biomass is particularly challenging due to fluctuating moisture levels and a heterogeneous material structure, and how this can increase the risk of fire—placing special emphasis on idler rollers as a potential heat source and on thermal monitoring systems (IR/sensor technology) that can detect critical temperature rises at an early stage. Smart Maintenance: Vibration-Based Diagnostic Systems Jan Wilke (REMA TIP TOP AG) focuses on maintenance and presents a vibration-based diagnostic system for idler roller wear detection, which

The 2026 conference “Belt Conveyors and Their Components” is the networking event of the year for manufacturers, users, and operators. Essen – On May 19 and 20, 2026, the bulk material handling industry will gather at the Haus der Technik (HDT) in Essen for the 22nd specialist conference “Belt Conveyors and Their Components.” This well-established event is regarded as the most important networking meeting of the year for manufacturers, users, and operators of belt conveyor systems. Experts from industry and research are expected to exchange views on the latest developments and proven solutions in belt conveyor technology. Program and Networking Specialist presentations by renowned experts will address current topics related to continuous conveying systems. As usual, the lecture program will be complemented by an attractive supporting program: a joint dinner at the end of the first day and an exclusive technical excursion will provide ample opportunity for informal exchange and networking. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants can make contacts and share experiences directly with speakers and

On April 25 an 26 renowned speakers will share their experiences and present practical examples of solutions for fulfilling environmental protection, general safety and fire protection requirements in tank terminals. in German Flat-bottomed tanks and vessels are the backbone of industrial storage. However, the efficiency of these structures can decrease significantly over time. Therefore, their careful refurbishment is essential for maintaining efficiency and safety. With the annual conference ”Upgrading of flat-bottom tanks and vessels”, the HDT (Haus der Technik) has established a highly regarded forum for networking and professional exchange from the perspective of practical application. The full programme and all information on registration can be found on the HDT website. See the link under ”Further information”. Note: The seminar will be held in German.
