Overhaul of concrete mixing plant during the summer season

For summer time maintenance, Muller Beltex prepares an inspection report with recommendations taking into account urgencies and the available budget.
Many concrete mixing plants perform maintenance on their installations during the construction holiday. They aim to bring their plants back up to date so as to optimise performance in terms of capacity, as well as the service life of wear components.

Muller Beltex is regularly involved in this and first conducts an on-site inspection that in detail reviews the product overshoot area’s, chutes and bunkers, as well as the abrasion-resistant Kryptane® liners to determine whether it is due for replacement. The result is an inspection report with recommendations that also considers urgencies and the available budget.

That the elevator becomes dirty is a common occurrence, but there also is a great deal of wear and tear on the:
– Steel elevator parts
– Bucket elevator belt
– Elevator buckets
– Elevator’s inlet and outlet
– Pulleys and pulley lagging

Based on the inspection report, Muller Beltex looks after the maintenance, assembly and installation, archives the documentation in the proper files and ensures that the installation once again operates optimally.

Inspection and overhaul of IGMA Amsterdam terminal elevator
Overhaul makes elevator better than ever. Muller Beltex has worked for IGMA for many years and is jointly responsible for the installations. The work we performed Elaborate inspections of the technical components of one of the floating weighing towers, a 36 MT crane with a capacity of 1500 MT/hour. The report showed that certain components required action in order to guarantee reliability; preventive and corrective maintenance. Belt replacement Wear on the back of the bucket elevator belt was observed making the belt’s replacement a necessity. This was also true for the rubber pulley lagging of both drive pulleys. The crowning of the return pulleys, which was too much, exerted unnecessarily high forces and friction on the belt, as well as on the belt fastener and elevator buckets. Proper planning By preparing a suitable and thorough action plan, with a realistic time span for implementing the inspection report’s recommendations, it was decided to carry out the various activities in a single efficient stop. The existing belts and both drive pulleys were hoisted to the lower deck using a telescopic

Intervention leads to preservation: Full elevator overhaul at Codrico
Inspection revealed that the elevator belt was due for replacement, and it needed new wear plates. This work was carried out in a single stop to prevent many unnecessary standstills. Codrico Rotterdam BV recently told us its elevator used for the intake of raw materials was behaving erratically. Wear of the pulley’s lagging was putting the elevator belt out of alignment, so that the misalignment monitoring system issued constant alarms. Closer inspection revealed that the elevator belt was due for replacement, and it needed new wear plates. All this work was combined and the assembly was carried out in a single stop to prevent many unnecessary standstills. Activities progress The drive pulley and the elevator belt were lifted from the elevator together. The first assembly team could then disassemble the elevator buckets, which were still in good condition. The buckets were able to be attached to the new belt immediately because the new elevator belt had already been punched and delivered. Meanwhile the new NBR pulley lagging was applied at the plant’s workshop in Pijnacker in the Netherlands. This type of rubber is highly suitable for

Strategic alliance of Muller Beltex, V.A.V. and Bechtel  Solid partners join forces and consolidate expertise and know-how.
Strategic alliance of Muller Beltex, V.A.V. and Bechtel
Solid partners join forces and consolidate expertise and know-how. Muller Beltex BV, V.A.V. Aandrijvingen BV and Germany based Bechtel GmbH have announced their strategic alliance. By a transfer of shares, the owners Lars Muller and Emiel Schoutsen have established this cooperation. The know-how and expertise in components for bulk handling equipment is not limited to the Netherlands and Germany, where the three companies are located. They operate worldwide and the close cooperation between the three companies will therefore provide major benefits for their entire, geographically widespread, customer base. Both owners emphasize that this alliance is not a merger and that the companies will retain their own identities. Company locations and contact points will remain unchanged. The advantages arising from the collaboration are, in particular, the bundling of their expertise and the use of each other’s network, especially abroad. In certain markets or geographic regions, the one partner is better represented than the other.

The right drive and  return pulleys for optimum transport For an optimal design and use of an elevator, the elevator belt and the drive and  return pulleys are of crucial importance.
The right drive and return pulleys for optimum transport
For an optimal design and use of an elevator, the elevator belt and the drive and return pulleys are of crucial importance. Elevator belt In ensuring optimal and safe bulk transport, the elevator belt is of crucial importance. This is the heart of the machine and during production it is subject to various loads. Therefore, it is important that all components that come into contact with the elevator belt are carefully selected to ensure maximum service life. Drive and return pulleys In this respect, drive and return pulleys are very important components. They are constructed to suit the elevator belt and the kind of product that is being processed. From drive pulleys and cage pulleys to wing pulleys: our engineers take care of the entire process, from drawing to implementation to guarantee that the elevator belt runs properly and smoothly on the pulleys. Special attention is paid to the crowning of the drive pulley surface, construction strength, shaft connection and static balancing to realize an optimum service life for your elevator belt along with the best production result.

Cost savings through elevator overhaul
Spaansen Bouwsystemen in Harlingen has achieved significant cost savings with a complete elevator overhaul. Processing is more efficient and long lasting, durable components are used. Spaansen Bouwsystemen in Harlingen produces precast concrete structures. An essential conveyor in the production process is the belt elevator, which processes raw materials such as sand and gravel to the concrete mix plant. An extensive inspection by the Muller Beltex team revealed that this elevator was not sufficiently reliable. Over time, the abrasive minerals had caused a lot of wear and fouling, which meant that the continuity of providing the plant with raw materials could no longer be guaranteed. Return pulley The investigation learned that both the drive pulley and the return pulley had to be replaced. This operation has been carried out not just substituting components but by implementing notable improvements, increasing the durability of the elevator. The return pulley (lower drum) has been replaced by an open wing pulley with cone in the middle. Because of the wings and cone, product getting stuck between the elevator belt and the pulley is better taken
