Handling Equipment

An Overview of

A gypsum handling system adds flexibility

and automation to a processing facility,

helping to ensure that gypsum moves

efficiently from one stop to the next, and

even to storage and transport.

As an aggregate, gypsum can be a

difficult material to handle, requiring a

system that is robust and able to

withstand a rigorous workload.

Choosing a heavy-duty handling

system designed around the needs of

gypsum will produce the best results.

Belt conveyors in a gypsum processing

operation are complemented by belt

trippers, which allow gypsum to be

discharged at any point along the

conveyor.

- Allow material to be discharged at any point

along the conveyor, which is especially useful

for creating long piles in storage.

Considerations in Gypsum Handling

As an abrasive material that can clump

up and harden, gypsum can congest

and damage equipment if allowed to

build-up.

For this reason, regular removal of

build-up is an important part of routine

maintenance when it comes to gypsum

handling.

Choosing a manufacturer that is familiar with

gypsum and can design a heavy-duty system

around its demanding needs will offer the best

results.

Conclusion:Material handling equipment is a vital

component of gypsum processing facilities,

allowing for flexible automation.

However, the characteristics of gypsum should

be considered when choosing material

handling equipment for the job, to help avoid

premature equipment failure.
