PRODUCTS / AUTOMATIC CRANE SYSTEMS

The crane offers a highly flexible, easy maintainable and fully automatic solution to transport of various kinds of biomass.

Designed to operate inside a fuel storage building, the crane collects the fuel and transports it to the fuel feeding system of the boiler. The crane works fully automatic, and ensures that the hopper for the fuel feeding system is kept full. The crane is furthermore programmed for re-positioning the fuel inside the storage.

The crane has been used for the following biomass sources:

- Wood chips
- Turf
- Bark
- Straw bales
- Poultry litter
- Orujillo
- Pellets of any kind

Various kinds of grabs can be installed on the crane according to the fuel type. KEM offers three kinds of grabs in various sizes. For normal sized fuels like e.g. wood flakes and pellets, a shovel-grab is used (photo 1). With more difficult fuel with large variation in size, like e.g. wood waste, a polygrab is used (photo 2). The third type is for biomass collected in bales where a special designed grab is used (photo 3)

The system with cranes is modular build, meaning that more cranes can operate inside the fuel storage at the same time in order to increase logistic capacity.

Main advantages are:

- High capacity
- Fully automatic
- Flexibility towards different kinds of fuel
- Sectionized storage with different fuel types
- Low power consumption
