In the waste-to-energy power plant Hagenholz, the overall bulk material handling in the area of boiler and flue gas cleaning, ash washing as well as dry slagging has been installed by STAG.
One particular highlight that is worth mentioning is the implementation of the new dry slag discharge and the container filling system. Various apron and belt conveyors ensure the discharging of dry ash generated in the two furnace lines; these are connected to the container filling facilities. The facilities were incorporated while the overall plant was operating, a challenge that we perfectly mastered.
STAG also supports the City of Zurich (ERZ) in the plant service, modernisation and management of spare and wear parts. In 2018, STAG signed a three-year contract to carry out the revision of the complete conveying technology.

The impact mill has been specially designed for breaking up agglomerated material within the bulk product. This application is mainly used in the treatment of boiler ash originating from incineration plants.
The double-sided sealing turn slide valve has been especially designed for pneumatic conveying as part of the STAG pressure conveying vessel technology. No other system can satisfy the high demands of this application.
New legal requirements, specific customer requirements or the need to modernize the system are just a few preconditions for which it is worthwile to contact STAG Service. All over decades built up experience in plant construction are at your disposal.
