Nine kilometers of pipe conveyor to the sea
Amuay's coke handling system (the Lagoven CRAY project) moves 1,100 t/h of petroleum coke from the pits to the Punta Adaro yard and the dock shiploader. Two pipe conveyors of about 9 km each do it dust-free. Running since 1982, with FAM (BEUMER Group) as technological heir of Robins and PWH, and RELANSA as local channel.

THE CHALLENGE
Carry coke along the Adaro peninsula — in the open, by the sea — without spills or dust, and load bulk carriers at a rate of about 100,000 t a month.
02
THE SOLUTION
P&H yard crane; toothed-roll crusher car of 800–1,500 t/h; 30" belt to the first transfer; ø 11.8" pipe conveyor of ~9,000 m to the yard; 350–400 t/h traveling stacker; VP 1-1100/42 portal reclaimer of 1,100 t/h; 54" belts and a second ø 19.7" pipe conveyor of ~9,000 m to the 1,000–1,100 t/h shiploader.
03
THE IMPACT
Over four decades in service and a dispatch record of about 100,000 t a month through the shiploader. RELANSA manages with FAM BEUMER the spares engineering and modernization of Paraguaná's installed coke base.
