Lenzing RopeCon®

Explanation

Lenzing AG, the world leader in cellulose fibre technology, was looking for a way to transport beech wood chips from the storage area to the digester house. The distance to be covered was basically across all existing infrastructure on the premises. Furthermore, highest system availability had to be guaranteed to ensure a smooth production process.

Another challenge, along with the aggressive sulphurous atmosphere, was the low weight of the transported material, as continuous operation had to be guaranteed also in strong winds.
