In June Stefan Huijser (40) started his new challenge as operations manager at TBK Group. With an background in engineering and a lot of enthusiasm, Stefan is ready to take operational processes to the next level. From submarine to vintage car Stefan’s technical career started underwater, but now he feels perfectly at home in the world of bulk handling and industrial processes. With a broad smile, Stefan Huijser talks about his first weeks at TBK Group: ”I like it, nice people and a great atmosphere. The work is extremely varied, and that appeals to me a lot. My previous jobs were never boring either; it’s nice to feel a new challenge again. For instance, I worked for years at a company in gas detection for large car parks, technology for measuring exhaust gases and controlling ventilation systems. And before that, I spent 10 years on a submarine as a machinist. So the ’dirty work’ and tinkering is no stranger to me.” When asked why he chose TBK Group, Stefan is clear: ”The match with director-owner Stan Egging and the company’s ambition appeal to me enormously. The large, imposing facilities and the knowledge present in this industry are also fascinating.

Specifically designed for a conveyor transfer point, linking standardized extractor units, for maximum flexibility of filtration surface and exhaust flow The DusTek Spot Filter is specifically designed to be installed at a conveyor transfer point, with the option to link standardized extractor units together for maximum flexibility of both filtration surface and exhaust flow. If required, the extractor units can be supplied with or without a filter housing that is accessible for maintenance from the side of the transfer box. Extractor units which conform to ATEX 114 (Directive 2014/34EU) for use in zone 22 are also available. Avoidance of dust Transfer points in conveyor belt systems are often characterized by the formation of enormous dust clouds, exacerbated by the dust created in the transfer box. This happens because the bulk goods that flow through the transfer box push along the air in the transfer point, while the descending bulk goods simultaneously suck in more air through the available openings: these are significant cubic metres of air, which most transfer points are not designed to deal with. Result?

Spillage of conveyor belts caused wear and tear, contamination, extra maintenance and extra time. TBK Spillage Control solves this by installing an impact bed and bars, sealing blocks and skirt liners. Material spillage has long been a thorn in the side of a large company processing coal and iron ore. It caused wear and tear, pollution and a maintenance-intensive way of working at the dumping point. TBK Spillage Control brought the matter back into line by implementing an ImpTek impact bed, impact bars, Spill-Ex sealing blocks and ProTek ceramic skirt liners. Efficiency and optimisation The more than 30-metre-long conveyor is located under dumping points of three other conveyor belts. Because the bulk material has to make a right-angled turn at this point, dropping several metres, this point is subject to extra stress. The result? Belt wear, spillage and dust contamination. TBK Spillage Control was able to eliminate the contamination by installing a custom-made dumping point in combination with an ImpTek impact bed and corresponding impact bars. In addition, TBK implemented sustainable Spill-Ex sealing blocks provide a more efficient, less labour-intensive and

The perfectly sealed swivel bearing, wear-resistant diamond profiled rollers and a sophisticated design make that the CenTrax belt alignment system remains operational under all conditions. CenTrax Operating principle See the video for a graphic display of mounting options and working principle. As soon as the conveyor belt starts to mistrack, the two tapered rollers on the sides will show a difference in the rotation speed. When this happens, the CenTrax belt tracker immediately engage and guides the conveyor belt back to its correct position. Unique swivel bearing The heart of any tracking system is the pivot. A common problem is that dirt, dust and moisture is blocking the pivot, which makes the belt tracker stops working. With our expertise, based on 60 years of experience, we have developed a pivot point – which we call a swivel bearing – that is insensitive to the influences of dirt, dust and moisture. Low in maintenance The swivel bearing is oil bath lubricated and completely maintenance free. Due to wear-resistant diamond profiled rollers and a sophisticated design that prevents build-up of dirt, CenTrax remains operational under
