Power Station Fly Ash System

Objective:

GAME were approached to design and manufacture an “S”-shaped, steep-angled, side-walled belt conveyor required to handle 140 tonnes per hour of fly ash and bed-bottom ash.

Problem:

The conveyor was required to handle 140 tonnes per hour of fly ash and bed-bottom ash on a 1000mm wide belt at the ‘Vojany’ power station in Slovakia.
In order for this large bulk conveyor to be transported safely and efficiently to Slovakia, it was supplied in pre-assembled modular sections, where each was loaded onto transporters and delivered to the site for final assembly.

Solution:

The product density to be handled by the conveyor, ranged from 0.7 and 1.48t/m³, with a maximum material temperature of 100°C.

The working conditions for the operation ranged from -20°C to +30°C.

The bottom section of the conveyor inclined at 30° for 22 metres, then lifted vertically for 16 metres and travelled 2 metres horizontally before delivery into a silo.

To ensure that the installation was completed efficiently and correctly GAME provided a comprehensive installation and commissioning manual.

Result:

The project was delivered on time to Slovakia ready for installation.
