Scraper chain conveyor and cooling floor for the wood-based materials industry

Scope of delivery and services

Replacement of the existing scraper chain conveyor to the latest state of the art and optimization of the cooling floor.

Location

The conveyor system is located near Sankt Pölten in Austria.

Our major Austrian customer from the wood-based materials industry approached our BU-Holz team with a special task.

In one of its chipboard plants near Sankt Pölten, a scraper chain conveyor for transporting glued medium-layer chips was to be replaced and equipped with a cooling floor system at the same time.

Previously, this chain conveyor had to be cleaned several times a year at great expense, as the glued and warm chips built up more and more on the floor of the conveyor over time.

A floor cooling system retrofitted by the customer had brought about an improvement (the cooling creates a light condensate film that prevents the chips from sticking), but the cleaning intervals were still too long and, above all, could not be planned.

As AMF-Bruns has decades of experience in the field of heat exchanger conveyor systems, the cooling floor was also optimized by AMF-Bruns at the same time as the existing scraper chain conveyor was replaced with the latest technology.
The result is impressive: since commissioning in October 2022, no unscheduled downtime has been necessary to clean the system.
