This summer Aumund Fordertechnik GmbH will be supplying an arched plate conveyor to Mytilineos S.A. in Agios Nikolaos on the Gulf of Corinth in Greece, where the metallurgy and technology group operates an alumina refinery and aluminium smelter. The conveying process in the plant consists of discharging bauxite from a silo, and onward transport to a rod mill by an Aumund arched plate conveyor, type BPB 250-1200. This is a specialized requirement in terms of both the material and the application. In designing the arched plate conveyor, Aumund Fordertechnik had to consider the specific material properties of bauxite, such as abrasiveness, dustiness, angle of repose and also the fact that it can sometimes be sticky.
