Five fertilizer stockyards in eight years
Between 2008 and 2016, FAM equipped five fertilizer storage and handling systems at Pequiven's Morón Petrochemical Complex: urea, NPK/DAP, phosphate rock and a truck unloading station. RELANSA, FAM BEUMER's office in Venezuela, supports the installed base with spares, inspections and modernization.

THE CHALLENGE
Store and reclaim hygroscopic, corrosive products — urea, NPK, DAP, phosphate rock — in covered longitudinal stockyards of 6,200 to 60,000 t each and flows of 50 to 700 t/h, without degrading the product.
02
THE SOLUTION
Five FAM references: a 60,000 t urea stockyard with KP220.49 portal scraper and TC650 tripper car (2008); a 2 × 28,000 t NPK/DAP stockyard at La Catedral with two KH400.31 semi-portal scrapers and two TC200 tripper cars (2009); a phosphate rock stockyard of 16,000 t raw material and 9,200 t product with KS120.15 side scraper, KB200.22 bridge reclaimer and ST700.20 and ST120.18 stackers (2009); a TUL7.150 truck unloading station with hopper and conveyor (2013); and a 4 × 6,200 t stockyard with two KT150.12RT slewing scrapers (2016).

THE IMPACT
Five of FAM's six fertilizer references in Venezuela are at Morón. In October 2025, FAM BEUMER and RELANSA presented to Pequiven the maintenance and modernization scope for these systems and those at José.
