A lot will change in the cement industry in the coming years: increasing digitalization, more use of alternative fuels, and the growing need for automation. Added to this is the changeover from 50- to 25-kilogram bags in some countries. This will pose a major challenge in the market.

With the acquisition of one of the leading companies for air supported belt conveyors, The Hendrik Group Inc., the BEUMER Group is expanding its portfolio in the field of bulk material transport. In particular, the handling of alternative fuels (AFR) and raw materials confirms BEUMER's commitment towards sustainability and is at the same time fully complementary to the current technologies offering ensuring an even broader customer benefit. The technology also generates additional potential in the field of bulk material handling of sensitive materials when it comes to preventing hazardous substances from being released into the environment. 

The construction of the MoveMaster C-AF conveyor is adjusted to the specific properties of alternative fuels, as well as to specific requirements of alt fuels transport, but the conveyor may also be used for other material with bulk density up to 700 kg / m3.The conveyor is supplied in straight or “L” and “Z” versions. The length of the conveyor track is up to 40 m. The conveyors are equipped with forged chains with high strength and large contact areas ensuring low wear and tear of guide rails.
