Beumer Group to Supply Pipe Conveyor

BEUMER Group has announced it has secured a contract to supply a large 2-way pipe conveyor system for a strategic development project at the Port of Saguenay in Quebec, Canada. The conveyor will connect the port with customers in the new industrial port zone, boosting economic growth and supporting the region’s commitment to a more sustainable maritime supply chain.

The pipe conveyor will be roughly two km long with a downhill (export) capacity of 4,150 t/h and an uphill (import) rate of 2,750 t/h. It runs along an existing steep and curvy road, reducing the need for truck transport and any associated carbon, dust and noise emissions. Because the pipe conveyor is fully enclosed, it reduces any environmental impacts and protects bulk materials from the sun, rain, snow, and wind. The scope of the contract includes all mechanical, structural and electrical equipment including prefabricated electrical buildings and the control system.

“The Saguenay pipe conveyor project represents a very important milestone, both for this region of Canada and for BEUMER Group’s Minerals & Mining business. The expertise inherent in our global team enables us to deliver a conveyor solution on this scale, meeting the client’s criteria for improving capacity in bulk handling while reducing environmental impacts.” said Markus Schmidt, CEO BEUMER Group North America.
