SAMMI S.r.l. - Building for the Future



BULK MATERIAL HANDLING - CRUSHING - CONVEYOR DECK EQUIPMENT - SHIPLOADERS - LIME KILN

Italian manufacturer Sammi specializes in material handling equipment and machinery. It has been supplying a wide range of systems to meet the diversified needs of users for over 30 years. Its business covers the whole lifecycle of the equipment supplied, starting from R&D, engineering, manufacturing, commissioning, maintenance and through after-sales service to meet its customers expectations.

Major Projects

In the middle of 2011, the company was awarded a contract for the engineering and supply of a system for limestone crushing, transportation through belt conveyors and stockpile formation.

Sammi is also committed on other projects. Among these, one of the most notable is the order awarded by the company on the end of 2011 for the complete design, supply, erection and commissioning services for a coal handling and storage system for Italcementi group (Ciment Calcia) to be installed in Couvrot, France.

The new installation can be divided in two main parts:

• coal storage facilities: which includes truck unloading station, receiving hopper, one 50 m long (250 tph [tonnes per hour]) belt conveyor to transport the coal to a transfer and sieving station. From this station, coal can be either transported to a storage area or diverted to another conveyor if over-sized.

• coal recovery facilities: which includes one 250 m long belt conveyor with an altitude variation of 25m (100 tph) to transport coal from storage to the existing crusher feeding facility which will be revamped with a new 110 m3 capacity hopper and a set of Redler mass conveyor to feeds the crusher.

To date, the engineering phase is completed and equipment is being manufactured in Sammi’s premises. The new plant is expected to come into service at the beginning of September 2012.

One important feature of project is that the design has been developed fully in accordance with directive Atex 94/9/EC regulations.

Another important project recently won by the company (in 2011) consists of a complete handling and storage system to be installed in the existing warehouses of grain terminal in Ravenna, Italy.

The system includes a truck unloading station, receiving hopper, bag type dust-suppression filters, belt extractor for material recover from hopper and to feed one 600 tph bucket elevator which transports the material to a set of belt conveyors to feed either the existing conveyor lines or to transfer the material onto the new tripper conveyor, which will be installed in height inside an existing building to stock grain, cereals and flours.

Also this plant has been designed and fully comply with directive Atex 94/9/EC regulations for equipment installed in potentially explosive atmosphere.

To reduce potentially dangerous dust spillage, each conveyor will be provided with cover hoods for the whole length and pocket filters on both loading and discharge sections. The rated capacity of conveyor system is 1,200tph for a total storage capacity of about 15,000 t inside the building (covered area). The peculiarity is that the system is almost entirely installed underground, in view of a quarry expansion project: a new vertical tunnel of height 150 m and diameter 4 m, chamber and horizontal tunnel have been excavated. Inside the underground chamber one hopper for limestone vertical receiving, feeder and crushing mill will be installed.

After being reduced in size, material will be transported via belt conveyor system to the outside. In addition to that, the belt conveyor which transports limestone to the outside is plain- curved with a radius of 600 m, to fit the geometry of the excavation. On the outside, one transfer point will be installed between conveyors which allows the second (inclined) conveyor to form limestone stockpile. On March 2012 SAMMI successfully completed the commissioning of the sulphur handling and shiploading system installed on the transshipper Bulk Kremi, owned by Coeclerici Logistics.

In April 2012 Sammi started commissioning the transshipper conveyor system on the Bulk Borneo transshipper, which consists of a coal handling and shiploading system with a rated capacity of 2,000 tph. The vessel is owned by Coeclerici Logistics SpA.

The deck conveyor equipment includes double charging hoppers, belt conveyors and two continuous shiploaders, both slewing and luffing-type. The Bulk Borneo is designed to load vessels up to Capesize draught.
