AEB replaces a total of 8
JOEST vibrating conveyors after 30 years

Replaced conveyors ensure more efficient slag transportation and improved operational performance.

After more than 30 years, Amsterdam-based waste processing company AEB is replacing a total of eight JOEST conveyors to optimize slag transport and improve operational performance. AEB specializes in recovering as many recyclable materials as possible from waste. The non-recyclable parts are incinerated to supply the city of Amsterdam with electricity and heat. This incineration process produces slag, which poses a particular challenge due to its abrasive and corrosive properties. The old conveyor troughs from 1991, which were responsible for transporting the slag from the four AEC lines, are now being replaced by eight modern vibrating troughs. These take over the transportation of 100°C hot wet slag from the EnergieLink Group's plants.

With a capacity of 10 tons per hour per chute, the new technology ensures more efficient handling of the material. We have developed mass-compensated resonance conveyors that operate with minimal residual forces and a compact drive. This technology is already in use in many similar systems around the world and has proven particularly effective with challenging materials such as slag. The new conveyor troughs for AEB, with dimensions of 1.6 x 9.8 meters, are made of through-hardened steel and are mounted on a modular support structure. The modular design and the built-in vibration sensor ensure flexible adaptation and smooth operation.
