Automatic transport of bulk material samples to the laboratory
KLANN sample transport systems automatically convey bulk material samples from the sampling point to the laboratory. The batch transport system is based on KLANN core sand distribution systems and runs on a monorail crane system.
The systems are used in bulk handling ports and open-cast mines. They are designed for continuous operation in demanding climatic conditions.
Further applications include mixing plants, where additives are transported over longer distances and across several floors. Standardised, modular DEMAG crane components support installation, commissioning and spare parts supply.
Ore sample transport for the Roy Hill Mine
For the Roy Hill Mine in Australia, KLANN reports the delivery of two additional ore sample transport systems. Pellet and lump ore samples are transported several hundred metres from the conveyor belts to the central laboratory, where robotic systems take them over for analysis.

What does a KLANN sample transport system convey?
It automatically conveys bulk material samples from the sampling point to the laboratory. The batch transport system can also convey additives in mixing plants.
Can the system cover longer distances and connect several floors?
Yes. The systems are also used for longer transport routes and connections across several floors. The monorail crane system allows the route to be adapted to local conditions.
Is there a published application example?
KLANN reports on ore sample transport systems for the Roy Hill Mine in Australia. Pellet and lump ore samples are conveyed several hundred metres from sampling points at conveyor belts to the central laboratory.
