Fertilizer Transfer & Handling
FertiTransfer Full Length Transfer. Folded for Transport.
Hydraulic Folding Transfer Conveyor
FertiTransfer is a heavy duty hydraulically folding fertilizer transfer conveyor developed for mobile and modular fertilizer plants. It provides full working conveyor length while reducing its transport length hydraulically, without dismantling the machine into separate conveyor sections.

Hydraulic deployment for operation.
Application
Transfer Length Where It Is Needed. Compact When It Is Not.
Mobile and modular fertilizer plants still need effective material movement between processing stages, plant levels and discharge points.
FertiTransfer provides the working conveyor length required for the plant while reducing its transport length hydraulically when the equipment needs to be moved.
Move Fertilizer Between Plant Stages
Transfer fertilizer between receiving, blending, screening, bagging or downstream handling equipment.
Reach the Required Discharge Point
Operating height and discharge arrangement are developed around the plant layout and material flow requirement.
Fold When the Equipment Needs to Move
The hydraulic folding arrangement reduces transport length for mobile and modular fertilizer plant applications.
How FertiTransfer Works
Full Conveyor Length When the Plant Is Operating.
FertiTransfer is designed to provide the conveyor length required during plant operation while reducing its overall length when the equipment needs to be transported.
The conveyor folds hydraulically, allowing the machine to move between its working and transport configurations without separating the conveyor into individual sections.
Full Working Configuration
The conveyor operates at its full working length to transfer fertilizer between the required plant stages or discharge points.
Hydraulic Folding
The conveyor folds hydraulically to reduce its overall length without dismantling it into separate conveyor sections.
Reduced Transport Length
Once folded, the conveyor length is reduced from approximately 12 m to approximately 7 m for transport.
Return to Operation
Hydraulic deployment takes approximately two minutes, allowing the conveyor to return to its working configuration.
The working length does not need to be sacrificed simply because the plant or conveyor needs to be moved.
Engineering Features
Configured Around the Plant Requirement.
FertiTransfer is not defined by one fixed conveyor arrangement. Key elements are selected around the required capacity, material movement and the way the conveyor needs to integrate into the plant.
This allows the transfer system to be developed around the operating requirement rather than forcing the plant layout around a standard machine.

Hydraulic Folding
The conveyor folds hydraulically to reduce its transport length without requiring the conveyor to be dismantled into separate sections.
Throughput Selected Around the Requirement
Current design configurations cover approximately 60 to 180 tonnes per hour depending on the required capacity and conveyor configuration.
Belt Width Matched to Throughput
Belt width is selected according to the required material transfer capacity rather than applying one standard width to every installation.
Designed to Suit the Plant
Operating height is developed around the specific plant arrangement and required discharge point.
Mobile and Modular Application
FertiTransfer is designed for mobile and modular fertilizer plants where movement and deployment form part of the equipment requirement.
Height Adjustable Versions Where Required
Height adjustable versions can be engineered for specific applications. The standard FertiTransfer configuration is not height adjustable.
Plant Integration
One Conveyor. Part of the Complete Process.
Within a complete fertilizer plant, transfer equipment connects process stages and keeps material moving between one operation and the next.
FertiTransfer can be engineered into the plant according to where product needs to be received, elevated, transferred or discharged within the overall process.

Finished Product Handling
Transfer Is Defined by What Happens Before and After It.
The conveyor cannot be considered in isolation. Receiving height, discharge position, upstream equipment, downstream equipment and required throughput all influence the final transfer arrangement.
Ferti can engineer the equipment as part of a complete fertilizer processing, blending, handling and bagging plant.
Support & Spares
Support Beyond Equipment Supply.
Supplying the conveyor is only one part of getting equipment ready to operate. Ferti support can extend through installation, commissioning, training, fault finding and ongoing technical support.
Serviceability, critical spares and replacement component requirements can also be considered during equipment and project planning.
Installation & Assembly Support
Installation and assembly support can be provided according to the site, supplied equipment and wider project requirement.
Commissioning
The conveyor can be commissioned as part of the wider plant commissioning process before operational handover.
Operator & Maintenance Training
Training can be planned around the supplied equipment, operating requirements and maintenance needs of the installation.
Technical Support & Fault Finding
Remote fault finding and technical assistance are available, with on-site support where remote input is not sufficient.
Plan for Maintenance Before It Becomes Urgent.
Critical spares can be identified around the supplied conveyor configuration and expected maintenance requirement.
Where standard commercially available components are used, replacement specifications can help support local sourcing.
Selected around the supplied conveyor, installation and operating requirement.
Clear replacement specifications can be provided for commercially available components.
Where practical, commercially available components can support easier replacement and sourcing.
Specialised or preconfigured components can be supplied from South Africa where required.
