From the Quarry to the Truck
One Continuous Material Flow.

This issue: a deep-dive into BEUMER Group — Germany — the family-owned engineering leader in conveying, vertical transport, alternative-fuel handling, palletising, packaging and automated truck loading, exclusively represented in Iraq by Sourh Zamzam — and already referenced from Al Keetan to Bazian, Kubaisa, Muthanna, Kar Najaf and Gasin.

& loading
In a cement plant, material never stops moving — from the quarry face to the loaded truck at the dispatch gate. Every metre of that journey is a chance to gain throughput or lose it to dust, wear and downtime. BEUMER Group — founded in Beckum, Germany in 1935 and still family-owned — engineers that entire flow as one system: high-capacity and long-distance conveying, vertical transport, alternative-fuel handling, palletising, packaging and automated loading. Their guiding principle — “long-term success, not short-term profit” — is exactly what a conservative cement buyer wants in equipment expected to run for decades. This full capability is now directly accessible in Iraq through Sourh Zamzam.

CLINKER RAW MEAL Hot · abrasive · high lift
01
Bucket ElevatorsCentral-chain · belt · heavy-duty belt

Reliable vertical transport of hot, coarse and abrasive bulk — raw meal, clinker and finished cement — at some of the highest conveying heights and capacities in the industry. Central-chain, belt and heavy-duty belt designs cover every duty point in the plant.

Referenced in Iraq: Al Keetan cement plant — conveyors & bucket elevators (chain / belt)
APRON · TROUGHED · PIPE Long-distance · in-plant · enclosed & dust-free

Conveyors & ApronApron · troughed belt · pipe conveyor

Apron conveyors move hot, lumpy material straight off crushers and coolers. Troughed-belt and pipe conveyors carry limestone from quarry to plant over long distances and difficult terrain — the pipe conveyor fully enclosed for dust-free, spillage-free transport.

Built for harsh duty: heavy abrasion · high temperature · continuous operation
Alternative fuel handling
03
Alternative Fuels (AFR)RDF · shredded tyres · plastics

Complete alternative-fuel handling — from storage and precise dosing to fully enclosed conveying into the kiln. Engineered for safe, dust-free, cost-effective fuel substitution that lowers fuel cost and emissions. Ideal for plants raising their thermal substitution rate.

autopac® Truck Loading2,400 / 3,000 bags per hour

The autopac® loads open trucks automatically — straight from the packer, no forklift, no manual stacking. Purely electromechanical (no hydraulics or pneumatics), built for harsh ambient conditions, with automatic over/under-load control. Mobile or static, in 2,400 and 3,000 bag/hour versions.

BEUMER paletpac palletiser
Stable stacks, weatherproof pallets
Protect Every Bag From Packer to Site

The paletpac® palletiser forms precise, stable cement-bag stacks with minimal manual intervention. The stretch hood® A then seals each pallet under a single elastic film hood — UV-stable and fully weatherproof, so bags survive open-yard storage and long road transport in Iraq’s climate without breakage or moisture damage.
