LOOP hoods
Our bestseller: Profi with opening option on both sides
Achenbach Metalltechnik has recently developed an absolute bestseller with this double-sided opening option. This technology is used thousands of times around the world and has proven itself in practice. With two short, integrated tensioning straps and optional stainless steel handles and locking devices, this opening system is the most cost-effective way to open an Achenbach bonnet easily on both sides and to lock it securely when open - by just one person.
ACHENBACH tip: Alternate installation (hood at the bottom, top, bottom, etc.) means that several metres of conveyor belt can be accessed for maintenance work on the system within a very short time.
simpleTec hood
The simple folding hood from Achenbach has 4 galvanised hinge pins and 4 small, galvanised brackets. This means that the cover can be easily attached to the existing belt scaffolding at any point and does not usually require a separate substructure.
Achenbach tip: Equip a maximum of every second top cover of the tunnel with the simpleTec opening option.
Advantages:
- Inexpensive opening option on both sides
- No loose parts
- Installation possible on almost all substructures
- Can only be operated with tools (safety)
- Optional: secure locking of the open cover
superTec hood
Achenbach Metalltechnik, with the world's largest range of hoods, has developed an all-rounder that ideally meets customer requirements for simple and reliable opening options on both sides: the superTec Evo II hood.
Competing opening systems on the market sometimes require an immense amount of assembly work with up to 20 screws per hood. The superTec Evo II bonnet eliminates these disadvantages, as only 8 screws are generally required, even with opening options on both sides. All attachment parts (including the large, user-friendly handles) of this superTec hood are made of stainless steel. No loose parts when opening, locking and closing.
Thanks to 4 small brackets made of hot-dip galvanised rolled steel, no additional T or angle profiles are required on the belt frame. With the optional stainless steel bonnet lock, the superTec, like our best-selling LOOP hood, can be securely locked in the open position. This ensures simple and safe control by just one person.
TSC hood
Our TSC (Tube Swivel Cover) opening option is designed for on-site round tube substructures. The covers are fitted with two tube brackets on one side, which act like hinges. On the walkway side, the covers can either be fastened with a short, integrated tensioning strap (similar to the LOOP system) or, in the simpler version, with a hook bolt. Our locking devices for securely locking the open TSC hood are also available here as an option.
