Conveying in tight spaces 

• The KOCH Pipe Conveyor® integrates optimally in existing plants, and minimize conveying distances, regardless of the landscape parameters, thereby permitting cost effective line arrangements.

Dust free with minimal noise emissions, securely protected 

• The KOCH Pipe Conveyor® transports bulk materials dust free with low noise emissions and totally enclosed over roads, tracks, waterways or open seas, through existing plants, over public streets, in environmentally protected zones. Even contaminated materials are conveyed without any negative environmental impact.

For all types of topography, flexible and innovative 

• The KOCH Pipe Conveyor® easily handle long distances and problematic topographic areas. Customized designs incorporate complex client needs: downhill conveying in difficult topographies; conveying various materials in one system. Based on our experience from 300 operating systems – and relying on the innovative competence of the market leader, we can implement whatever is technically possible.

Cost effective and reliable

• Limited spatial requirements, elimination of high cost and maintenance intensive transfer stations as well as secure conveyance without expensive housings assure the cost effectiveness of the FLSmidth Pipe Conveyor system. A high level of operating availability reflecting the FLSmidth training program and FLSmidth service guarantees your investment decision.
  

Pipe Conveyor at a Coal Fired Power Plant

At a length of approximately 2.2 km, one of the longest dual pipe conveyor in Europe is also one of the most productive: Approximately 1.1 million tons of wet- and dry ash, gypsum and filter cake, as well as 125,00 tons of residual water are transported per year (in a parallel strand of fibreglass pipes). This pipe conveyor is part of a complete FLSmidth plant for power plant waste disposal – including the innovative FLSmidth “Reaction Belt” for the preparation of ashes and residual waters.

One challenge encountered was the transportation route, which went through the old power plant (still operating at that time): Pipe Conveyor and FGD-pipes climb in the area of the old power plant over the evaporator unit, curve around old power plant buildings, cross paths, rail systems and roads.
