Conveyors #949, #949-3, and #950 carry clinker from the cooler to a storage structure for stockpiling. Conveyor #950, the last in the series of conveyors, is a 24-inch (610 mm) belt running at 650 fpm (3.3 m/sec). The others are 36-inch (914 mm) conveyors running at approximately 500 fpm (2.5 m/sec). ### Solution ![](https://static.martin-eng.com/www.martin-eng.com/case-studies/P1107-2.jpg)Martin® Transfer Point Solutions with high-temperature components were recommended to stop the spillage and dust problems. To improve the clinker conveying, the plant agreed to upgrade the transfer points loading conveyors #949, #949-3, and #950. Installation crews from [Martin® Services](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/page/543/installation) performed the project. On all three conveyors, the work included installation of a [Martin® Tail Sealing Box](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/195/tail-sealing-box), steel chute walls, [Martin® Wear Liners](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/194/wear-liner), and chute wall covers with [Martin® Dust Curtains](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/224/dust-curtain). In addition, Martin® Services fabricated a new chute to transfer material from Conveyor #949 to #949-3. [Martin® Slider Cradles](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/179/slider-cradle) were installed underneath the load zones to stabilize the belt’s path to reduce spillage. To accommodate high temperatures, the high-temperature cradles feature bars with stainless steel tops. The edges of the belt in the conveyor loading zones incorporate [Martin® ApronSeal™ Single Skirting](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/182/apronseal-single-skirting) for high-temperature applications, effectively sealing the elevated material. Martin® ApronSeal™ Single Skirting is suitable for exposure to temperatures up to 275°F (135°C). ### RESULTS ![transferpointtransitionzonetailboxsealingapronsealbeltsupportimpactcradletroughingidlers](https://blog.martin-eng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/transferpointtransitionzonetailboxsealingapronsealbeltsupportimpactcradletroughingidlers.png?width=300&height=225&name=transferpointtransitionzonetailboxsealingapronsealbeltsupportimpactcradletroughingidlers.png)CEMEX Kosmos’ plant management was pleased with the project's results. Spillage and dust were controlled, and the new components stood up well to the elevated material temperatures.
