Why Switzerland needs slat conveyors
Switzerland is a high-income manufacturing economy with world-leading pharmaceutical, chemical and precision-engineering industries.
Belt, screw and chain conveyors and bucket elevators move grain, ore, clinker and oilseed; new plants and capacity expansions need complete, drawing-matched systems.
Chemicals, fertilisers & petrochemicals in Switzerland
Chemical plants need corrosion-resistant piping and seals.
In Switzerland, petrochemical complexes and fertiliser plants buy slat conveyors from us mainly for grain, rice and flour mills and oilseed crushing and solvent extraction.
