Plate conveyor recycling for demolition materials

Conveyor chains for building material recycling steel-belt-conveyor

In 2019, an apron conveyor chain in front of a crusher for demolition material had to be replaced in Pantaleon at the Austrian company Hasenöhrl. No spare parts could be supplied by the plant manufacturer. FB Ketten found a suitable solution.
The Hasenöhrl company was founded in 1960 by Otto Hasenöhrl. After more than five decades, the Hasenöhrl Group, with all its areas of activity, is one of the most modern in its sector. Managed by Com. Ing. Karl Hasenöhrl, the company is still a pure family business.

Strategically, the company focuses on moderate and constant expansion, long-term customer loyalty, highly motivated employees as well as a sustainable approach to the environment and the conservation of natural resources. At several locations, demolition materials are processed and made available for re-entry into the raw materials cycle.
In St. Pantaleon, the apron feeder chain to the crusher had to be replaced in 2019. This is how the contact between Mr. Gerhard Greindl (Head of Fleet Management at Hasenöhrl) and Mr. Gerhard Mittermayr, the responsible chain application engineer at FB Ketten, came about.

Tailor-made chain solutions also for older plants

FB Ketten specialises in customised chain solutions. From the company headquarters in Kufstein in Tyrol, 10 chain application technicians support and advise customers in Austria, southern Germany, Switzerland, France, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, as well as in Slovenia and South Tyrol.
Customer benefit plays a central role in this. The FB chain technicians always strive to provide their customers with the most cost-effective solution that is optimally adapted to the application.
A large warehouse for conveyor and roller chains and a few selected special chains in Kufstein ensures a fast supply of spare parts.

No spare parts ? No problem.

In the case described at the beginning, the manufacturer of the system, which was built in 1999, was no longer able to supply spare parts. In addition, there were some points in the existing chain that Mr. Greindl would like to optimise. At an on-site meeting, Mr. Greindl and Mr. Mittermayr discussed all points and also checked the existing drawings on the system for correctness. This provided a good basis for further optimisation of the apron conveyor chain.

Why complicate things when they can be simpler?

Mr. Gerhard Mittermayr thought the same thing when he examined the existing chain. Specifically, one of the problems was that the possibility of relubrication via grease nipples was no longer given. Positioned at the end of the chain axles, they were constantly exposed to the falling concrete rubble and were thus damaged.
One consequence of this was that the seals of the flanged rollers of the chain were worn out by the dry running in combination with the abrasive dust from the conveyed material.
Due to the contamination, the flanged rollers showed considerable wear at an early stage.
The chain was repaired repeatedly over the years, but this was extremely difficult, time-consuming and cost-intensive due to the complicated design.
FB Ketten proposed to simplify the design of the chain considerably.
The possibility of relubrication should still be given, but the grease nipples in the axles were positioned in such a way that they are better protected.

In addition, the decision was made to dispense with the sealing of the collar rollers and instead to use a particularly wear-resistant material for the collar rollers with heat treatment optimally adapted to the application.
On the one hand, this saves costs and on the other hand, it simplifies maintenance on the chain in the future.

As a treat, Gerhard Mittermayr was able to certify that the existing transport plates were still in excellent condition. The new chain was now designed in such a way that the plates could be reused, taking the optimisations into account. Thus the cheapest and thus the optimal solution for the Hasenöhrl company was found.
The new chain was manufactured at FB Group’s own FB Ketju factory in Lappi, Finland. High-quality conveyor chains for heavy-duty applications across all industries have been produced there since 1912. Through targeted investments in the latest technologies, the high quality standards of FB Ketten can always be maintained.

Material and installation from a single source

The chain solution was installed in January 2020 by FB partner company Stefan Lachtner Maschinenbau from Rainbach am Inn in Upper Austria. This enabled Mr. Gerhard Greindl to minimise the interfaces and obtain practically everything from a single source.
”The cooperation between FB Ketten and the assembly partner Stefan Lachtner from Rainbach am Inn worked super well. On the whole, the process went smoothly and due to the local proximity and on-site support, Stefan Lachtner and FB Ketten were able to respond very quickly and well to our needs. To this day, the system is running without any problems and to our complete satisfaction,” Mr Greindl summarises the project in retrospect.

Trade show Powtech 2023
Take advantage of the overall dynamics offered by POWTECH, the leading exhibition for experts in powder and bulk solids technology. This event provides a presentation platform for innovations and advancements in processes for the manufacture of quality products made and processed from powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids – also for the environmental and recycling sector. Good reasons for visiting 1. 360° view of processing technologies Enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the entire process chain of mechanical processing technologies and talk with the best minds in the industry about the latest developments for the analysis, size reduction, screening, mixing, conveying, dosing and compacting of powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids. Whether energy efficiency, sustainability, gentle handling or process optimisation – as a driver of innovation, POWTECH always puts the spotlight on the hot topics in the processing technology sector. 2. Distinct focus on powder, granulation and bulk solids technology and the processing of fluids and liquids The compact layout provides easy access to the leading suppliers of basic processing technologies for powder, bulk solids and liquids: Whether you are looking for plant engineering, processing components, equipment for measuring, control and automation, nanoparticle technology products, safety and environmental technology or services for mechanical processing technologies, you are guaranteed to find what you need. 3. The perfect platform for live demonstrations, dialogue and new contacts POWTECH is more than just an exhibition. It’s where exhibits are tested live and specific solutions are developed with keen interest. Direct exchanges between experts mean that discussions are held on a level playing field and challenges are addressed directly from the ground up. This results in genuinely valuable and sustainable new contacts and business relationships. POWTECH is also the perfect stage for the next generation: As well as the key players, innovative young start-ups also present their new processes and product developments for the successful future of the industry. 4. Inspiration for tomorrow’s processing technologies Do you find that meetings, deadlines and cost pressures leave you with no scope for creativity during your daily work routine? The POWTECH 2023 supporting programme opens new perspectives. Be inspired by new impulses in our Expert Forum, special shows and pavilions, including topics such as explosion protection, food life science technologies, mandatory serialisation, and cleanroom technology. 5. POWTECH – the industry barometer 477 exhibitors from 29 countries and 7,688 trade visitors at the restart of POWTECH in 2022 underscore its importance for nearly all segments of industry, but especially chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metals and food. The process engineering supply chain continues to be a robust growth market. In 2023, POWTECH will reflect the fact that in many sectors, powder and bulk solids processing is being combined with fluid and liquid technologies to form an integrated process, and therefore the event specifically incorporates the processing and handling of liquids in its product range. Moreover, the important industrial sectors of cosmetics and batteries are being included in the exhibition for the first time. So don’t miss out. Make sure you are also part of the 2023 event with its new topics and technologies.
