Conveyor drums for all industries
- Quarries and mines
- Waste collection center
- Agri-food
- Automotive
- Fertilizers and chemicals
- Airport port
- Agriculture
- Steel industry
Quarries and mines
The mining industry is subdivided into a wide range of sectors, including the extraction of coal, metallic minerals, precious stones and non-metallic minerals. Raw materials are processed to meet a wide range of needs, particularly in the manufacturing, construction and infrastructure sectors. Whether at the time of extraction, or for the processing of these raw materials, numerous belt conveyors are required for these activities.
Waste collection center
Waste sorting methods vary according to the nature of the waste and the characteristics of the collection. To minimize the amount of waste going to landfill or incineration, ambitious new recycling and recovery targets have been set. ALTEMA conveyor drums can be found on sorting and processing systems for selective collection, household waste, industrial waste, composting, CSR processing, Machefer, sorting of CIW, WAS and rubble.
Agri-food
For 25 years, ALTEMA has been supplying conveyor belt drums for the processing of raw materials used in the food industry. This experience enables us to meet every requirement, from standard drums to squirrel-cage drums. ALTEMA conveyor drums are used on conveyors to transport cereals, sugar, salt, coffee and flour.
Automotive
In the automotive conveyor systems sector, conveyor belts have a wide variety of applications. For automotive parts and assemblies, conveyor belts are used to transport stamped parts at high speed and with maximum safety. The type of belt required depends on the material being conveyed.
Fertilizers and chemicals
ALTEMA supplies conveyor drums and pulleys for belt conveyors with loading hoppers or elevators in the fertilizer industry. From grasshopper conveyors to large conveyor systems for phosphate mining, ALTEMA can meet all the demands of these demanding sectors.
Port / Airport
ALTEMA supplies conveyor drums for handling bulk materials and general cargo. ALTEMA provides systems to simplify loading and unloading operations. The aim in these sectors is to keep vessel downtime to a minimum. The drums must be able to withstand the harsh climatic conditions associated with their seaside location (wind, salt, etc.).
Agriculture
ALTEMA is active in the agricultural sector, particularly in the handling of cereals on conveyor belts. ALTEMA conveyor drums are installed on belt conveyors, while bucket elevator pulleys are installed in silos, both used to transport raw materials in the agricultural sector.
Steel industry
The iron and steel industry produces pig iron and ships it to foundries where it is used to produce cast iron or steel. ALTEMA drum conveyors are installed on various systems: rolling mill plate conveyors, aluminum scrap belt conveyors, foundry raw parts conveyors.
