Published purpose

The firm intends to offer new conveyor solutions dedicated to aluminum smelters that will run on electric power, thus reducing greenhouse gases during plant operations. The main aim of this project is to electrify the systems and integrate the required features within the defined geometric footprint. Since the overall dimensions of the battery and motor systems will be an issue, the development team will have to optimize volumes while ensuring that the integrity of the structures is preserved, and offer performance similar to that of a diesel vehicle.
