Bulk solid handling is a standard process across various industries, including mining, energy, and agriculture. Having the right machinery is essential to ensure safe and efficient operations. In this article, we explore the specialised equipment for handling and transporting bulk materials, including systems offered by Stemm specifically designed to optimise these processes.
Bulk Solid Handling and Transport Equipment
The handling and transport of bulk solids require robust, high-capacity equipment, specifically designed to manage a wide variety of materials—from grains and coal to minerals and waste. This equipment must ensure quick, safe loading, unloading, and transport while maintaining operational efficiency.
Stemm offers a wide range of machinery tailored to the needs of bulk solid handling. Below are some of the most notable equipment Stemm provides for these types of operations.
Orange Peel Grabs: Electrohydraulic, Cable-Operated, and Hydraulic
Stemm’s orange peel grabs are designed to handle bulk solid materials requiring high-precision control. These tools are built to perform under demanding conditions, offering a strong and stable grip for various materials. Their handling capacity is ideal for products such as coal, fertilisers, grains, and minerals, ensuring efficient loading and unloading. Orange peel grabs are especially useful in port environments, where speed and safety are top priorities.
Among the most notable models are the PH-0.9 electrohydraulic orange peel grab, designed for handling light scrap and biomass, and the PHA-1.4, which is suited for handling wood and floating waste. These units have high-yield steel frames and feature systems that optimise work cycles.

Clamshell Grabs: Electrohydraulic, Amphibious, and Cable-Operated
Stemm’s clamshell grabs are engineered to carry out fast and safe loading and unloading operations for bulk materials. Equipped with a robust mechanism, these grabs offer precise control when handling products such as coal, grains, fertilisers, minerals, etc. They are ideal for use with cranes and other lifting systems at ports and industrial terminals, helping to maximise efficiency and reduce work times.
For instance, the 2CH-2.8 electrohydraulic clamshell grab is optimised for handling minerals and stones. At the same time, amphibious models like the 2CHA-2.8 are perfect for handling sludge and underwater sand, with immersion capabilities up to 25 meters.

Electrohydraulic Grabs
Stemm’s electrohydraulic tong grabs are specialised tools for efficient bulk material handling where a firm and secure grip is required. Their versatile design allows them to handle various products, from heavy materials like stones and minerals to more delicate ones like fertilisers and grains.
A standout model is the 11.0080 grab, designed explicitly for handling straw bales in the renewable energy sector. Its reinforced steel frame and synchronised, self-centering mechanical jaws ensure precise and safe handling.
Stemm: Engineering and Manufacturing of Machinery
Bulk solid handling demands specialised equipment that delivers speed, precision, and safety. Stemm’s orange peel, clamshell, and electrohydraulic grabs are designed to meet these demands, improving operational efficiency and reducing load/unload times. By choosing the right equipment, port and industrial material handling operations can be optimised, guaranteeing faster, safer results in every process.
