There was a fire in a factory hall at JOEST on Friday afternoon, December 16, 2016. As a result of plastering work, the filter inserts of the exhaust system caught fire.
“Thanks to the prompt and correct intervention of our employees, there was a relatively minor material damage,” said CEO Dr. Hans Moormann. When the emergency personnel arrived, the staff had already left the production hall and nobody was injured. The fire trucks “Buldern” and “Duelmen-Mitte” were deployed at the scene. Once the fire had been completely extinguished, the system was subsequently inspected for safety using thermal imaging cameras.
At JOEST, we always focus on efficiency and reliability when it comes to successfully implementing complex projects. A current example of this is the full modernization of a green sand line at our long-standing partner Fritz Winter – and that in an impressively short time.

In February, JOEST secured an order for the delivery of a specialized 15-meter-long vibrating conveyor for a Serbian producer of sugar products. This machine is an integral part of the production process, conveying freshly centrifuged sugar with a throughput of up to 70 tons per hour at a moisture content of 0,2-0,4% and a product temperature of about 65°C.
