bauma 2010 – High-Tech in the service of environmental protection
ContiTech’s participation at bauma 2010 was focused on technical innovations, eco-friendly, energy-efficient solutions and contributions to greater cost-efficiency. Core topics were energy-efficient transport solutions, a low-temperature-resistant conveyor belt with anti-stick properties, and SCR modules for exhaust gas purification in construction machines and heavy-duty hydraulic lines.
In Munich the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group presented a conveyor belt with an energy-optimized cover that can reduce the amount of energy a conveyor belt system consumes by up to 20 %. Another topic of discussion was that of generating energy during downhill transport. It makes systems more economical and reduces the environmental impact. The Group also presented, moreover, a number of new products. bauma was the venue for the debut of the latest addition to the company’s range of ContiClean® A-H anti-stick conveyor belts, which have proven themselves in flue-gas desulfurization systems and in the recycling. The ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group‘s SICON® belt conveyor system (Fig. 1) makes for more cost-efficient, eco-friendly operations. This flexible means of transport remains closed from feed point to discharge point and is thus ideally suited to the transport of goods that must be contained, such as e.g. limestone, sand or gypsum.
ContiTech Fluid Technology brought two new products to the show: 2nd generation SCR technology hose line modules that keep construction machine engines cleaner, and an expanded selection of hose line modules for hydraulic applications. Alongside its known SCR lines ContiTech now also offers an advanced 2nd generation version of the lines, equipped with heated quick connectors that guarantee that the medium always thaws, right up to the plug-in connection (Fig. 2). The connectors are available in two types: With PUR coating of the entire plug, which is suitable for high unit volumes and makes for a very compact solution overall, and as an extremely flexible modular system with hinged manifold sleeves and a separate heating component. The second version
is suitable, above all, for small to medium-size unit volumes. In future, ContiTech will also be offering three hose types for the SCR line: the previous standard solution; an advanced, higher-quality rubber hose; and
a plastic solution.
