Fertilizer Conveying

Systems for the transport of fertilizers and manures

The transport of fertilizers in powder or granule form requires robust, sealed and easily inspectable systems, capable of handling hygroscopic, compacting or potentially reactive materials. HIWAY designs mechanical and aero-mechanical conveyors tailored to each phase of the process: from big-bag loading to mixing, from storage to in-line dosing.

Our systems guarantee closed, safe and continuous transport, compatible with organic or mineral materials and configurable also for ATEX-classified environments.

Application case

HiWay system for the automatic handling of fertilizers

This project is a concrete example of the flexibility and modularity that characterize HiWay systems. It was created for the transport of fertilizers in an already operational production context, where it was necessary to respect strict constraints relating to loading and unloading points, as well as specific structural passages. Since the system required very high capacities, conveyors with 273 mm diameter were adopted.

The system includes five big-bag emptying stations
that unload the material into aero-mechanical conveyors,
which directly feed the pre-existing bucket elevators.

2

A UNI273 conveyor, equipped with three distinct
loading points, transfers the material towards the
already existing silos, discharging alternately through
guillotine valves. The same conveyor also feeds a second UNI273.

3

The second UNI273 conveyor receives material both
from the first conveyor and from the existing bucket
elevators, and is equipped with two discharge zones,
also regulated by guillotine valves, to ensure flexible and
efficient distribution.

Finally, under the pre-existing hoppers, two big-bag fillers
are installed, allowing the final bagging of the product and
completing the process with speed and precision.
