Wooden gritting silo facility with loading facility in Haigerloch

Germany

The Stetten salt mine, Haigerloch was equipped with an additional loading facility. The salt is transported directly from the inside of the mountain to the silo by means of conveyor belts (conveying capacity up to 500 t/h). A steel truss bridge crosses the three railway tracks (15.2° gradient). Loading into the silo vehicles is done by a belt weigher at the silo hopper. By means of remote control and camera, the entire loading process is operated and monitored from the control room. For the handling of the incoming trucks and the trucks to be loaded, the constructed dispatch building with two 20 m truck scales is used. The building is equipped with three workstations for issuing delivery notes and logistics scheduling.
