Every industry faces challenges. For the global fertilizer industry, expansion and demand are not on the list of business concerns. Some analysts estimate a 14% annual growth rate, which would translate to an expected annual market value of $1.88 billion by 2020. This is partially due to the excessive use (and misuse) of chemical fertilizers over the past several decades […]
The global fertilizer industry is experiencing unprecedented growth and demand. As the world population rises and is expected to reach 9 billion by 2040, a constant, increasing demand will be placed on fertilizer in an effort to boost crop yields without the expansion of harvestable acreage. In addition, after decades of excessive chemical fertilizer use (and misuse) that contaminated the […]
“What goes up must come down” is a quote (attributed to Isaac Newton) and a concept (the law of gravity) that most people are familiar with. When applied to conveying material, the second part should be adjusted to: “What goes up probably needs a bucket elevator.” One of the many types of bulk material handling equipment offered by CDM Systems, […]
At some point, everyone learns that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes is credited with first articulating this concept, which has since become not only an accepted geometric fact when applied to flat surfaces or planes, but a general rule of life. However, his statement doesn’t necessarily hold true in every […]
CDM Bucket Elevators are the ideal vertical conveying solution for a variety of materials, elevations and discharge requirements. These conveying systems specialize in straight lifting of large amounts of material using a series of buckets. A single- or dual-strand drive mechanism moves the buckets with a chain or belt mounted around sprockets or pulleys at either end of the elevator. CDM […]
