Bunkers and Screens

Dewatering Screens

Dewatering screens are steel structures designed to remove and dewater materials in industrial processes, particularly in mineral processing, quarries, and mines. These screens quickly drain water, allowing the materials to dry.

Applications:

  • Mining Facilities: Used to dewater materials extracted from mines.
  • Quarries: Dewatering of stone and rock materials.
  • Sand and Gravel Plants: Used in washing and drying sand and gravel.
  • Wastewater Treatment Plants: Dewatering of sludge and wastewater.
  • Chemical Industry: Dewatering and drying of chemical products.

Types:

  • Vibrating Dewatering Screens: Use high-frequency vibrations to separate water and dry materials.
  • Static Dewatering Screens: Remove water through gravity and inclination without vibration.
  • Curved Dewatering Screens: Feature specially inclined surfaces to quickly drain water.

Production Stages:

  1. Design and Engineering: Design is tailored to requirements and engineering calculations are completed.
  2. Material Selection: Durable and long-lasting steel materials are chosen.
  3. Cutting and Shaping: Steel plates and profiles are cut and shaped using CNC machines.
  4. Welding and Assembly: Cut and shaped parts are joined through welding.
  5. Surface Treatment: Screens are treated to be resistant to corrosion (e.g., galvanizing or epoxy coating).
  6. Assembly and Testing: Screens are assembled and undergo functional tests to ensure readiness for use.

Metal Materials Used:

  • Carbon Steel: Commonly used in general-purpose dewatering screens.
  • Stainless Steel: Selected for high corrosion resistance requirements.
  • Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high wear resistance and strength.

Concrete Plant Bunkers

A bunker is a type of storage and transportation structure used for storing and regularly feeding large volumes of materials. In concrete plants, bunkers are typically used for the storage of cement, sand, aggregate, and other materials.

Applications in Concrete Plants:

  • Material Storage: For storing essential materials for concrete mix, particularly cement, sand, and aggregate.
  • Material Feeding: Provides regular and continuous feeding of materials to concrete mixing machines.
  • Mix Balancing: Used to ensure balanced and accurate mixing of different materials.

Types and Uses of Bunkers:

  • Sand and Aggregate Bunkers: Provide organized storage of sand and aggregate. Typically made from large and durable materials.
  • Cement Bunkers: Specifically designed for storing fine powders like cement. Cement bunkers may have protective features against moisture and air.
  • Mobile Bunkers: Designed for temporary or portable use, often preferred for short-term projects.

Metal Materials Used:

  • Carbon Steel: Used for its general durability and cost-effectiveness.
  • Stainless Steel: Preferred for its corrosion resistance when in contact with cement and other abrasive materials.
  • Abrasion-Resistant Steels: Used in applications involving abrasive materials like aggregate and sand.
