With over four decades of experience in manufacturing electrohydraulic orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs, Stemm has established itself as a leading company in the sector thanks to its constant innovation and ability to adapt to its client's needs. Their focus on customisation and product quality has enabled Stemm to develop solutions that meet the specific challenges of each project, both nationally and internationally.
Designing New Products: Customized International Projects
Stemm begins creating new products by deeply understanding the client's needs. This approach allows the company to design equipment that perfectly fits the specific requirements of each application. The selection of the type of bulk material to be handled and its density determine the technical characteristics of the grabs. Moreover, environmental conditions such as temperature, available infrastructure, and the presence of water in the grab's surroundings significantly influence the product's design.
Stemm works closely with its clients on international projects, offering customised solutions considering each situation's particularities. For instance, in amphibious environments such as freshwater, marine settings, and water treatment plants (WWTP), materials and designs ensure the durability and optimal performance of the equipment.
Specific Requirements for Stemm’s Grabs
- Type of bulk material and its density: The nature and density of the material to be handled directly influence the equipment's design. Stemm adapts the size and shape of the grabs to efficiently handle materials such as sand, gravel, industrial waste, minerals, and more.
- Environmental characteristics:
- Temperature: Extreme temperatures, whether high or low, affect the materials and components of the equipment. Stemm selects materials that can withstand these conditions without compromising performance.
- Available infrastructure: The existing infrastructure at the client's site, such as cranes and transport systems, is considered to ensure the equipment's compatibility and efficiency.
- Wet or dry environment: The equipment must resist corrosion and moisture in environments with water, such as marine settings or treatment plants. Stemm uses specific materials and coatings to protect its equipment in these conditions.
- Durability and wear resistance: The equipment must be highly wear-resistant in dusty and abrasive environments, such as mineral processing plants or recycling industries. The double-lipped polyurethane scrapers developed by Stemm ensure that the grab joints maintain their functionality even in the most adverse conditions.
- Ease of maintenance: While the new maintenance-free joints are a significant advantage, Stemm also focuses on designing quickly inspected and repaired equipment. QR codes on the machines provide access to audiovisual help guides, facilitating maintenance and troubleshooting for operators.
- Adaptation to local and international regulations: Stemm ensures that all its products comply with each region's applicable safety and quality standards and regulations. This is crucial for global projects, where rules can vary significantly.
Stemm: Innovation and Quality
The combination of innovation, customisation, and quality has allowed Stemm to remain at the forefront of manufacturing electrohydraulic orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs. Their commitment to adapting to each client's specific needs and continually improving their products ensures that Stemm will continue to be a benchmark in the sector for many years.
