January 2007 More than a Century of Conveyor Belts from Phoenix
Major anniversary for a conveyor belt: Half a century ago, Phoenix developed the world record holder Phoenocord, which was used for the first time at Rheinische Braunkohle in 1956. Its most prominent properties are high breaking load and minimal elongation when used in high-capacity conveying. These characteristics have made for its market success ever since. But Phoenix had decisively contributed to the development of conveyor belt technology even before that. The company will be showcasing its products at the world's largest construction fair, the bauma, from April 23 to 29 in Munich at booth 235 in hall C2.
January 2007 An Anniversary and a Host of Records
Numerous projects underscore the clear international market leadership of Phoenix Conveyor Belt Systems in the development and production of extremely strong conveyor belts. The company will be showcasing its products at the world's largest construction fair, the bauma, from April 23 to 29 in Munich at booth 235 in hall C2. And it will be celebrating an anniversary there as well: half a century ago, Phoenix developed the Phoenocord, which holds numerous records. But Phoenix has contributed decisively to the development of conveyor belt technology already for more than a century.
January 2007 World Record under the Streets of Lima
The world's largest pipe conveyor is being built in Peru. The underground conveyor has to conform to the city's narrowly laid-out streets, so a Phoenopipe conveyor belt from Phoenix Conveyor Belt Systems was the only possibility. The company will be showcasing its products at the world's largest construction fair, the bauma, from April 23 to 29 in Munich at booth 235 in hall C2.
January 2007 Record-breaking Conveyor Belt from Phoenix Bridges Distance of 17 Kilometers
The longest conveyor belt without intermediate drives transports limestone to Bangladesh over more than 17 kilometers of swampy terrain. In doing so, the Phoenocord belt made by Phoenix traverses not only national borders but also mountains, rivers, country roads and rice paddies. To ensure that it is protected from spring flooding and vegetation and that it has no negative impact on humans and animals, it operates five to ten meters above the ground. In order to carry out maintenance work at this height, a maintenance vehicle is used in each of the countries.
January 2007 World's Strongest Conveyor Belt
Numerous projects underscore the clear international market leadership of Phoenix Conveyor Belt Systems in the development and production of extremely strong conveyor belts. Two examples are the world's strongest conveyor belt and the strongest belt used underground. The company will be showcasing its products at the world's largest construction fair, the bauma, from April 23 to 29 in Munich at booth 235 in hall C2.
