Biomass Fuel Conveyor – Project Reference.
Manufacturing Capabilities for Biomass Fuel Handling Systems
Industrial equipment for biomass fuel handling often combines heavy steel structures, mechanical conveying systems and demanding fabrication requirements.
The project presented below is an example of MAXIMUS FAB’s manufacturing capabilities in the production of mechanical equipment for biomass installations.
The completed equipment was designed to transport shredded wood and wood chips from the silo discharge system towards the boiler fuel-feeding system.
The project demonstrates our ability to manufacture complex steel and mechanical assemblies according to customer documentation and project-specific requirements.
Project: Scraper Conveyor for Wood Chip Transport
The manufactured equipment forms part of a biomass fuel-handling system.
Its function is to receive shredded wood from the silo extraction system and transfer the material towards the next stage of the fuel-feeding process, ultimately supplying the boiler combustion system.
The general process can be described as:
BIOMASS SILO → FUEL EXTRACTION → SCRAPER CONVEYOR → PUSHER FEEDER → BOILER COMBUSTION SYSTEM
The conveyor shown in the photographs was therefore manufactured as part of a larger technological installation, rather than as a standalone standard product.

Manufacturing According to Customer Documentation
One of the important areas of MAXIMUS FAB’s activity is the manufacture of industrial equipment and mechanical assemblies based on documentation provided by the customer.
For projects such as the biomass conveyor presented here, the manufacturing process can involve the production of:
- welded steel structures,
- conveyor casings,
- mechanical assemblies,
- chain and scraper components,
- drive and support structures,
- inspection and service elements,
- mounting components,
- supporting structures.
The exact manufacturing scope depends on the customer’s documentation and the agreed project responsibilities.
This approach allows equipment manufacturers and system integrators to outsource selected manufacturing operations while retaining control over the engineering and technological design of their own equipment.
From Engineering Documentation to Manufactured Equipment
MAXIMUS FAB can work with different forms of technical documentation, including:
- 2D manufacturing drawings,
- 3D models,
- assembly drawings,
- fabrication documentation,
- technical specifications,
- project-specific manufacturing requirements.
Our role can range from manufacturing individual fabricated components to producing complete mechanical assemblies.
The cooperation model can therefore be adapted to the customer’s needs.

Manufacturing Capabilities Demonstrated by the Project
The biomass conveyor project is a good example of several manufacturing capabilities required for industrial equipment.
Heavy steel fabrication
The construction of a conveyor for biomass fuel requires robust welded structures designed according to the project documentation.
Mechanical assembly
The final equipment combines fabricated steel components with mechanical elements forming a functional conveying system.
Complex industrial geometry
Industrial conveyors frequently include multiple sections, transitions, access points, mounting arrangements and interfaces with other equipment.
Manufacturing accuracy
Components manufactured for integration into a larger technological system need to maintain the dimensional and interface requirements specified in the engineering documentation.
Project-based production
Unlike standard catalogue equipment, industrial machinery is often manufactured for a specific installation and according to individual project requirements.
This is precisely the type of production environment in which MAXIMUS FAB can support equipment manufacturers and system integrators.
Experience in Biomass Equipment Manufacturing
The presented project demonstrates experience in manufacturing equipment used in the handling of biomass fuels.
The conveyor is not presented as a standard MAXIMUS FAB product. It is a reference of our manufacturing capability and our ability to execute customer-specific industrial equipment.
This distinction is important.
MAXIMUS FAB can manufacture equipment according to the customer’s design, whether the project concerns:
- biomass handling,
- industrial material transport,
- mechanical conveying systems,
- steel process equipment,
- custom machinery,
- mechanical assemblies,
- fabricated industrial structures.
The project scope is defined individually according to the customer’s documentation and requirements.
A Manufacturing Partner for OEMs and System Integrators
Projects such as this are particularly relevant for companies that design and integrate their own industrial equipment but are looking for a reliable manufacturing partner.
MAXIMUS FAB can support:
Equipment manufacturers
Manufacturing components or complete assemblies designed by the customer’s engineering department.
Biomass boiler manufacturers
Manufacturing selected mechanical equipment forming part of biomass fuel-handling systems.
System integrators
Manufacturing mechanical assemblies required for complete industrial installations.
EPC contractors
Executing an agreed manufacturing scope based on project documentation.
Engineering companies
Turning engineering designs and 3D models into manufactured industrial equipment.
Why Use an External Manufacturing Partner?
For equipment manufacturers and system integrators, outsourcing selected fabrication work can provide additional production capacity without the need to expand their own manufacturing infrastructure.
Depending on the project, MAXIMUS FAB can become an extension of the customer’s production capabilities.
The customer remains responsible for the engineering concept and technical requirements, while MAXIMUS FAB focuses on the manufacturing and fabrication scope agreed for the project.
This model is particularly suitable for one-off projects, pilot installations, custom machinery and repeat production.
