Container Transfer Systems
An example of a container transfer system is used in the disposal of the waste. The required transport tasks are handled by means of roll-off containers over driven roller conveyors and transverse transfer tracks. In order for the production process to run smoothly, an empty replacement container is located on the transfer device and would automatically be exchanged for the full container if required – thus, only a small downtime.
Fortunately, even with space problems, the transfer system is suitable for both closed and open top containers. In addition, the filling position can be provided with a weighing device, which will ensure that the containers are not overcrowded.
Ash Removal System /
Wet or Dry Bottom Ash Handling System
The IEM Ash Removal System and Deslagger have been designed for the reliable transport of combustion residues in power plants. Due to their special design, they are particularly suitable for use with secondary fuels. IEM FörderTechnik GmbH provides designs for wet or dry bottom ash handling systems, scraper conveyors or apron conveyors in waste-to-energy plants, EBS power plants, biomass power plants and coal-fired power plants.

Chain Belt Conveyor
The IEM chain belt conveyors are used for receiving and feeding medium to heavy bulk or general cargo. The chain belt conveyor consists of a transport belt with screwed steel catches, mounted on cylindrical profiles which are located between two bush conveyor chains. The drive sprockets are connected by a shaft and are driven by a geared motor.
The IEM chain belt conveyor is available in multiple kinked versions.
Coal Feeder
Used for transporting lignite and hard coal in power plants for mill feeding. The coal feeder is usually connected directly via a coal chute to the coal bunker with a rectangular outlet. Between the coal chute and the bunker outlet, a flat needle valve can be arranged as a shut-off.
Specifications
- Throughput up to 150 t/h
- Reduced pressure shock resistant in accordance with requirements
References
Mixing Screw Conveyor
Depending on the equipment, the mixing screw conveyor comes with various mixing tools in different industries, also may be used as a wetting screw. The following applications are possible:
- Mixing of dust, granules, powders, sludge and problematic substances, also in ATEX version
- Horizontal and oblique arrangement
Advantages:
- Absolutely dustproof, pressure shock resistant (as specified) and gas-tight
- Self-cleaning screws for caking and pasty substance
- Can be produced in special materials, lined
- Minimal space needed
- Low-noise material transport
- Low maintenance
Troughed Belt Conveyor
The IEM troughed belt conveyors are often used for large flow rates that have to be transported over a long distance. The 2- or 3-part beaded belts are mainly suitable for heavy bulk goods with high throughputs. IEM combines the system with catwalks and strap bridges and offers them with irrigation, completely cased and de-dusted. The fields of application are the transport of minerals, such as coal, ores, slags, residues, sugar or beets, sewage sludge, foundry sands, recycling products, and alloying agents.
Reciprocating / Wide Belt Conveyors
The reciprocating conveyor adapts to the speed of the wide belt material conveyor and returns the defined amount of material in accordance with the desired layer height during the return movement of the carriage. During the extension movement no material is relinquished, as the belt speed of the reciprocating conveyor = extension speed. This procedure is recommended to ensure a consistent feed.
Specifications
- Wide Belt Throughput up to 1,300 t/h
- Belt width up to 5,500 mm
- Reciprocating Throughput up to 1,300 t/h

Trough Chain Conveyors
Trough chain conveyors are suitable for dust, ash, slag conveying, sewage sludge conveying, chip transport, and wood chips. Trough chain conveyors are continuous conveyors that transport bulk material horizontally, vertically or diagonally in troughs using single or double-stranded conveyor chains. IEM trough chain conveyors transport largely non-caked bulk goods. They operate dust-free, are environmentally-friendly and gas-tight and designed as shockproof and in the ATEX range. Their main advantage is the low space requirement with high flow rate.

Bottom Ash Discharger
IEM Bottom Ash Dischargers are designed for slag residues which fall into the Bottom Ash Discharger at the end of the grate. These residues are cooled down with the help of a water bath. The slag chute is immersed in the water bath of the Bottom Ash Discharger to achieve an air seal to the furnace. The grate through fall that accumulates under the combustion grate is collected by hoppers and fed to the Bottom Ash Discharger via chutes. Here, too, air sealing is achieved by immersion chutes. The Bottom Ash Discharger, including the inlet and discharge cross-section, is designed to ensure trouble-free discharge of coarse slag and metal particles.
Specifications
- Specifications: 0,3 – 6 m/min
- Capacity: up to 100 t/h
- Higher capacities are also possible in accordance with the geometry and other requirements.

Wonderbed-Filter
IEM Wonderbed-Filter is a new process technology for catalytic mercury oxidation.
It is recommended, to install the filter behind the dust filter, in order to avoid unnecessary blockages of the continuously circulating catalysator bed. Due to the narrow bed geometry, it can be directly integrated in the outlet zone of already existing electrostatic precipitators (retrofit option). A mobile demonstration plant can show you the suitability to your local process conditions. The filter geometry can be flexibly adapted by arranging several filter lines in parallel.
The IEM-Wonderbed is an EU research project, funded by: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy based on a resolution of the German Bundestag.
Characteristics
Achievable mercury oxidation rates: up to >95 % possible
Exhaust gas volume flows: 2,000 – 2,000,000 m³/h
Pressure drop: 1-6 mbar
Lowering Rails
In rotating sinter coolers, sintered material is moved on a dolly in a closed circle. In continuous operation, the cars are driven over the lowering rails at the end of the cooling section and emptied. The highest accuracy and durability are required for this application. The complex geometries of the rails are produced in a multi-stage forming process.
Swing Chutes
For uniform filling of containers and other storage units, IEM swing chutes are available. Each IEM swing chute can be adapted to local conditions and operated manually, electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically.
