Sichuan  Yadong  Cement  Co.  in  Pengzhou,  China,  has been relying on a 12.5 km overland conveyor from Beumer Group in order to convey limestone from  its  quarry  to  its  silo.  When  constructed  in  2009 it was the longest belt conveying system in Beumer history (Beumer installed a longer system in   2016).   The   troughed   belt   conveyor   runs   through  hilly  terrain  and  nature  reserves,  over  streams and unstable ground. The second project includes two additional overland conveyors, with an overall  length  of  13.7km,  transporting  limestone  to  the  cement  plant.  Unlike  the  first  project,  the  task  here  was  to  build  the  conveyor  across  inhabited  areas.  Noise  emission  limitations  set  forth  by  the  government  also  needed  to  be  considered.
