Products
Screw Conveyors (Shafted & Centreless)
CTM Systems centreless screw conveyors are recommended for applications which convey sludge type material such as sewage sludge, grit & screenings, waste materials, recycling processes, food waste and factory by-products. Casings generally of stainless-steel construction which ensures a long life span due the corrosion resistance of the materials used in manufacture. Mild steel painted casings are also an option. Internal painted finishes available to protect against acidic or corrosive materials. With equipment being supplied to various sectors for 25 years and proven track record of effective aftersales support client’s operations, our in-house knowledge of this technology is second to none.
Belt Conveyors & Chain Conveyors
The CTM systems range of Troughed belt conveyors are of bespoke design to suit a customer’s specific requirements. Quality components are selected throughout the range, to ensure longevity and reliability. Any size of troughed belt conveyor can be manufactured to suit the client’s throughput specification, whether it be at ground level, aerial or angled. Options such as walkways and platforms, lifting davits, cable pull systems can be supplied throughout the troughed belt range.
Proven systems currently working in sewage treatment plants, fresh-water sites, coal mines and quarrying applications.

Reception & Storage Silos
With an in-house design facility, a whole range of bespoke storage systems for a variety of materials can be produced, with initial concepts being produced using the latest 3d modelling software offering BIM capability for plant integration. All these storage silos and hoppers are tailor-made to suit individual applications such as length, width, height, and shape to suit material handled, planning constraints, logistics constraints and economy of manufacture.
They are all supplied with their own supporting structures and are complete with either stairways or ladders to access any roof mounted equipment such as filters, spreader screws, level controls etc.
The storage facilities are designed with the material characteristics in mind, the local conditions to cater with the wind forces and have an allowable freeboard to give enough ullage to create the necessary amount of volumetric storage space. They will also consider any external loads imposed, for example, by side pumping in at high or low level or loads imposed from conveyors systems feeding in from above. They can be from mild steel painted, glass fused, welded and/or bolted or stainless steel if the environmental conditions dictate.

Belt Reception Unit
CTM Systems Limited can offer an above ground reception solution which designs out the need for costly civil work required to construct pits, also eliminating the need to access and maintain equipment situated below ground level and the issues they create.
Capable of receiving bulk materials from multiple types of trucks and trailers.
Material is accepted from the discharging vehicle into the import hopper section of the unit, then the belt starts conveying the product into the buffer section, then the belt discharges. Then the unit is ready to receive the next lorry load.
Part or semi clad weather enclosures available.
Odour take off option available.

Push Floors, Live Bottom Bins & Pumps
CTM systems live bottom bins and silo systems are designed specifically to suit to our client’s specification, with close communication throughout the design process to deliver an effective and maintainable engineering solution. With a proven track record in this field, our tried and tested design principles can be incorporated to produce scalable silo and live bottom bin capacities.
With many successful existing projects in the wastewater industry operating on a 24/7 basis storing, transferring, and discharging dewatered sewage sludge.
Single or multiple point discharges dependent on pan size and capacity.

Mixers, Blanchers & Rod Washers
CTM System’s design a whole range of bespoke mixers for a variety of materials. The mixers can be either continuous or batch. They can be plain bodies or jacketed for steam heating or water cooling. They can be strengthened for mixing under vacuum if required. Continuous mixers can be single of the twin screw/paddle variety dependent upon the space and material characteristics. Batch mixers can be of the single shaft double helix/inner helix variety or they can be of the twin intermeshing paddle variety. They can be manufactured in batch sizes of up to 15m working volume.
Materials can be 304 or 316 stainless steel (food quality) or carbon steel (industrial applications). Either direct drive(s) or planetary (in the case of twin shaft intermeshing). They can be supplied open topped (suitably guarded) or with hinged or sliding covers suitable for infeed by bulk tippers (CTM tippers or clients). Discharge can either be end wall hinged cat flap style of bottom bomb door style dependent upon the site parameters.
They can be manufactured with an integral weighing system, inbuilt supports, or standalone dependent upon the individual needs.
All of these bunkers hoppers and silos are tailor made to suit the individual application usually associated with pit depth (limited by such things as water table) and size of lorry being used to load into the bunkers and of course − the storage requirements of the bunker. They can be supplied with an integral hydraulically actuated lid that will open to receive, then close to contain odours or open topped if they are situated within an odour controlled building or with a roller shutter door and local enclosure over the top.

Bucket Elevators & Cooling Conveyors
Cooling-Screw-Conveyors can be utilised to cool bulk-solids, bed-ashes, flue-dust, sewage-slurries, cements, salts, plastics, pyrolysis residues. For each application custom-tailored solutions can be offered. Cooling screw conveyors represent the ideal solution for any application, where effective handling and separation of the bulk-solid and coolant medium is a must.
Cooling can be offered by the means of an external cooling jacket on the casing of the screw conveyor, or along the centre tube of the screw assembly itself or a combination of the two.
With many proven cooling conveyors in the field within multiple sectors please do not hesitate to make contact to discuss your requirements and benefit from the wealth of our in-house design and manufacturing experience.
The units are pressure tested in the factory before dispatch with vigorous quality control in operation throughout the manufacturing process to ensure effective and reliable operation for the end user.

Spares & Support
Even the most reliable of conveyor systems require worn components to be replaced from time to time.
To ensure your CTM product remains operational and reliable as it was when the equipment was initially installed. It is highly recommended to use OEM parts, CTM Systems can supply spare parts on a short lead time basis when a breakdown situation occurs.
To prevent this scenario from occurring regular inspections would prevent costly downtime. Please contact: barry@ctm-systems.co.uk to arrange for a CTM site engineer site visit to undertake a product health check, or request a quotation for a regular inspection & maintenance programme both at competitive rates. Preventative maintenance pays dividends, preventing loss of production and other associated on costs.
CTM also offers aftersales assistance to clients with bulk handling equipment supplied by other manufacturers, due to our in-house expertise and knowledge of conveying and storage systems. Whether it be maintenance or supply of spare parts we are able to help.
