Overlapping tines reduce the gaps between the grab shells, minimising material losses during handling. A specially designed sealed bearing system with aluminium-bronze bearing shells ensures reliable operation, even in dry and dusty environments. The solution is further enhanced by IO-Link-enabled analogue sensors, which continuously transmit process data to the plant control system and support automated operation.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a grab solution that handles material efficiently, reduces maintenance requirements and reliably meets the demands of modern automated biomass plants \u2013 cost-effective, durable and future-ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wood chips are a challenging bulk material to handle.
