About Saxlund International
Saxlund International GmbH, based in Soltau-Harber, is a plant manufacturer of storage and conveying technology for problematic, difficult-flowing bulk materials such as wood chips, bark, sludge, animal feed, chemical substances, compost and waste materials. The delivery range includes flat-bottom silos, bunkers, silos up to 2500 m³ as well as patented discharge devices (sliding frame, rotor, push floor, tubefeeder), screw conveyors, trough chain conveyors and solids pumps with valve technology. As a turn-key supplier, the company handles overall planning, project engineering and engineering, complete turn-key assembly, support with approval procedures, as well as maintenance and service through its own after-sales department, including spare parts sales and redesign of existing plants. Over more than 50 years, more than 3500 plants have been delivered worldwide, including to Dow Chemical, Nestlé, Sara Lee Douwe Egberts and Cargill. Core markets are the wood and wood-based materials industry, the cement, power plant and bioenergy industries, sewage treatment and waste disposal technology, recycling, the animal feed, chemical and food industries, mining, and the paper and pulp industry.

Materials and Processes
Steel (plant/structural steelwork)
Construction material for silos, bunkers, discharge and conveying technology in plant engineering.
FGD gypsum
End product of flue gas desulfurization, for which Saxlund supplies discharge devices for silos up to 2500 m³.
Wood bulk materials (waste wood, chips, wood chips, bark)
Bulk materials for conveying, storage and dosing systems in the wood and energy sector.
Sewage sludge
Difficult-flowing bulk material/pumping media range from dewatering to incineration.
Substitute and secondary fuels (processed plastic waste)
Recycled products that, among other uses, replace hard coal in rotary kilns in the cement industry.
Scrap tires/rubber chips
Substitute fuel for cement plants, conveyed via tire dosing boxes and push-floor bunkers.
Meat and bone meal
Material for special silos with sliding-frame discharge, among other things for disposal in incineration plants.
Biomass (solid and liquid bioenergy carriers)
Fuels for bioenergy plants with push-floor bunkers from 30 to 200 m³.
Coal
Bulk material in the field of complete plants for the power plant and energy industry.
Fly ash
Difficult-flowing bulk material for which Saxlund offers complete plants.
Natural gypsum
Like FGD gypsum, it is processed into gypsum building materials without further treatment.
Animal feed
Bulk material of the animal feed industry for silo and conveying technology.
