Complete coal conveying and ash handling system design, manufacture, supply, and installation.
End-to-end boiler fuel handling infrastructure engineered for reliability and efficiency.
Coal-fired industrial boilers remain a significant energy source across South African industry. But a boiler is only as reliable as its fuel handling system. Smitson Engineering CC designs, manufactures, supplies, and installs complete coal and ash handling systems — ensuring your boiler receives a consistent fuel supply and that ash is efficiently removed to keep operations running.
From screw conveyors feeding the furnace to complete ash removal and disposal systems, we engineer solutions that handle the challenging bulk materials environment of coal boiler operations.
To date, we have manufactured and distributed over 89 units — a testament to the proven reliability and performance of our evaporator design and fabrication quality. Each unit is built to order, tested, and ready for deployment in demanding mine-site conditions.
Installation
Coal & Ash Handling
Coal Conveying Systems
Design and installation of coal conveying systems to transport coal from storage to the boiler feed point. Includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, and screw conveyor systems configured for your site layout and coal feed rate requirements.
Ash Handling & Removal
Mechanical and pneumatic ash handling systems for efficient removal of grate ash and fly ash from coal boiler furnaces. Designed for continuous operation, minimising manual handling and improving operating safety and hygiene.
Screw Conveyor Design & Manufacture
Custom screw conveyor design and manufacture for coal and ash handling applications. Our screw conveyors are fabricated in mild steel with wear-resistant liners where required, designed for the abrasive nature of coal and ash materials.
Ash Felt Paver Systems
Design, manufacture, and supply of ash felt paver systems — innovative solutions for converting boiler ash into useful paving material, reducing waste disposal costs and creating a valuable by-product from boiler operations.
Coal Storage & Bunker Systems
Fabrication and installation of coal storage bunkers and hoppers — designed to provide adequate buffer storage and reliable gravity or mechanical discharge to the conveying system. Dust suppression integration available.
Industrial Boiler Plants
Coal-fired boilers for steam generation in food processing, textile, and general industrial facilities across South Africa.
Power Generation
Coal handling for captive power generation facilities — supplementing grid supply and reducing energy costs for large industrial operations.
