SHW Storage & Handling Solutions GmbH is a leading bulk materials handling and storage machinery manufacturer. We undertake complete turnkey projects including the design, manufacture and supply.
We focus on the process design and technology of all the components needed for processing, storage, transport and metering of difficult to handle bulk materials such as:
For these “difficult to store” materials, we have developed silo systems to prevent stable bridging. The well tried and tested SHW relief system counteracts the natural compaction of the bulk material by “redirecting” the vertical loads into the silo walls. The loose material will be reliably discharged via the SHW discharge systems combined with screw conveyors.
The SHW Storage & Handling Solutions GmbH was founded in 1968 as the materials Handling and Process Division of SHW-GmbH in Aalen-Wasseralfingen. It changed in 2003 to an independent limited liability company.
The roots of the company SHW Storage & Handling Solutions GmbH can be traced back to one of the oldest industrial companies in Germany: the Schwäbische Hüttenwerke, first mentioned in 1365. Up to 1921 it was in the possession of the Cistercian monastery, Königsbronn or the king of Wuerttemberg. In 1921 the Schwäbischen Hüttenwerke GmbH was founded. The shareholders were, the state Wuerttemberg and the Gutenhoffnungshuette Aktienverein Oberhausen (GHH), each holding 50%.Later it was integrated into MAN AG of Munich.
Originally SHW Storage & Handling Solutions GmbH produced only rotor discharge systems for the rapidly expanding particle board industry. The variable speed and reliable construction with its exact metering facilities, soon lent itself for use in the environmental industry, the paper industry, the chemical and plastics industry as well as in the animal feed sector. The density of the stored bulk materials in these industries is considerably higher than that in the wood industry.
Automation into one continuous production plant required specific silo installations for materials reception, intermediate storage as well as large capacity storage. We met the customer's requirements for automation with further developments to the live bottom discharge system, travelling screw, sliding frame, eccentric frame, pivoting wheel, rotating screw as well as top rake system for large-surface bulk materials.
Today, we develop, plan and construct not only silo discharge and transport systems but manufacture also steaming silos, bleach towers, reaction silos, plug screws, cooling screws, disintegrators, disc screens and rotating distributors as part of our standard programme.
