Stemm grabs for ash and corrosive waste handling in Finland

Efficiency and safety are fundamental pillars in industrial handling, so efficient and safe solutions are indispensable, especially when handling sensitive materials, such as corrosive or flammable materials. In this context, Stemm, an expert in manufacturing industrial grabs, has taken a significant step forward with a project specializing in handling ash and corrosive waste in Finland.

Four small Stemm grabs in Finland

Stemm has completed a project involving the delivery of four small full-shell grabs, each with a capacity of between 600 and 1300 litres, destined for Finland. These clamshells are remarkable because their functional design integrates the hydraulic unit outside the machines. This design optimizes operability while ensuring safety in environments where explosive risk is a constant concern.

A notable feature of this project is the connection between the hydraulic unit and the grabs using 25-meter-long hydraulic hoses equipped with reels for easy handling. These hoses are connected to the grapples in an agile and efficient manner through quick connectors, adding flexibility and practicality to the operation.

ATEX components (products operating in EXplosive ATmospheres) integrated into the hydraulic unit are essential, especially for environments where ash, corrosive residues and various wastes are handled. This choice ensures that machines destined for Finland can operate safely even in complex atmospheres, complying with the most stringent industrial safety standards.

Advantages of using grabs for handling ash and corrosive wastes

Choosing Stemm grabs for handling ash and corrosive waste offers several significant advantages: 

  • Their robust design and efficient handling capabilities ensure smooth and reliable operation, even under adverse conditions. 
  • Integrating ATEX components into the hydraulic power pack enhances safety in potentially hazardous environments, providing operators peace of mind and mitigating the risks of handling hazardous materials.
  • Stemm grabs' versatility allows them to adapt to various industrial applications, from waste management in power plants to material handling in chemical processing facilities. 
  • Their ability to handle bulk cargo efficiently and safely makes them an ideal choice for companies looking to improve productivity and safety in their operations.
