Baled biomass handling
We are specialists in straw barn logistics, straw bale conveying and automatic unloading of straw bales from lorries. All you need for material handling for a biomass-based energy production or 2nd generation bioethanol production.
Our innovative and efficient logistics solutions for the bioenergy industry include everything from preliminary concept development to simulation, project management and implementation.
Baled Biomass
Qubiqa is a leading supplier of turnkey logistics solutions for the handling and conveying of baled biomass at biomass fired power stations and 2nd generation bioethanol production facilities.
Handling systems for straw bales
We start our supply at the entrance gate of the power station with registration of all incoming material, and control, distribute and process the bales until they enter the furnace or a similar process.
- Automatic unloading of staw bales from lorries
- Automatic crane system for material handling
- Conveyor lines
- Distribution
- Material processing equipment
- Control system
Over the years, our original product range - conveyors and cranes for the handling of straw - has been substantially expanded. In collaboration with subsuppliers and partners, our experienced staff is able to include unitizers, hammermills, pelletizers, cyclones, filters etc. in our turnkey supplies – not only for straw, but also for other kinds of biomass and baled materials in general.
The system is designed as a "book-keeping" system that registers storage movements (storage/retrieval).
When a lorry arrives with the straw bales, the lorry driver positions the lorry in the correct lane based on a light signal. When the gate opens, the driver drives to the correct unloading position assisted by the traffic lights. The driver runs a magnetic card through the reader and the load is registered.

Equipment does require maintenance, and we are ready to give advice, supply spare parts or assist in any other way.
We also know that operators come and go. Sometimes you may even feel that you are constantly training new staff. We can assist with onsite or online training.
At some point during operation, your equipment will inevitably cause some kind of stops - and very likely at the most inconvenient time.
Therefore, we offer a 24/7 hotline service that is manned by our highly skilled and experienced programmers.
