Automation for optimized bulk material dispatch

The future of automation is here. Are you ready to embrace it?

Automation and control technology are key for improving quality management and work safety at your cement plant or bulk terminal. With automated solutions, our engineers at IBAU HAMBURG strive to make material storage, loading and transport more efficient, ensuring full capacity utilization and smooth processes. We provide expert consulting on integrating automated technology into your bulk material loading and unloading process.

Efficient loading and discharge with tailored automation technology

Automation technology is a powerful tool for maximum transparency, stable operations and constant high product quality at your terminal. However, it can only really reduce time and cost efforts if it is tailored to match your specific process. Our engineering team considers your material storage, loading and transport and will craft a solution that will bring the most advantages for your application. We support you with the planning, engineering and commissioning of innovative automation tools. You get everything from one provider and make sure that you make the most out of your terminal.

Secure a competitive advantage with intelligent automation to control your plant reliably and reduce costs.
The advantages of customized automation options for bulk material handling, storage and dispatch:

Speed up your bulk loading with Gdischarge

Our IBAU HAMBURG Gdischarge is an innovative automated technology for the fast discharge of powdered materials into trucks or railcars. With this patented discharge system, you gain precise control of the aeration of the loading chute, which enables you to convey up to 40% more material per hour. Adjustable preset conditions ensure that the discharged cement is kept fluid to achieve a smooth material output.

Faster bulk material loading with automatic discharge:
  • ZReduce costs by decreasing energy consumption
  • ZIncrease your bulk loading rate by up to 40%
  • ZGain a leading edge by shortening loading times
  • ZUpgrade your existing system with little effort
  • ZDecrease equipment wear

Ensure a safe operation with the IBAU Open Hatch Cover Detection System

For loading of bulk materials into trucks or railcars, drivers or operators usually must get out of their vehicle and open the hatch cover manually, which puts them in a dangerous position. The automated Open Hatch Cover Detection System is a camera system that controls the automatic positioning of the loading chute in bulk material dispatch terminals. It identifies the perfect position of the hatch cover with an intelligent camera for loading without human intervention. Combined with the IBAU HAMBURG Automatic Hatch Cover, this ensures fast and reliable loading and creates a safer work environment for your drivers.
