Apeco has successfully completed a slag conveyor system project at the Cementa cement plant in Slite, Gotland, Sweden. The supplied conveyors were installed on a hill with limited bearing points, and are capable of transporting sand or slag at a rate of 600tph.
Within the framework of the project, Apeco delivered two belt conveyors with different transshipment chutes and flap-valves to the client. The supplier also carried out a comprehensive rebuilding of the transshipment building.
Duroxite abrasion-resistant steel, which is specially manufactured by SSAB, was used as the base material for the chutes.
The equipment was supplied as part of the Cementa project, which aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from cement production by introducing new raw materials.
