[0004] Partition wall for separating bulk materials
[0005] The invention relates to a partition wall for separating bulk materials, with walls that are connected to each other including a cavity that can be at least partially filled with material.
[0006] Partition walls of this type, as described in EP 1 811 105 B1, are subjected to high mechanical stresses in the everyday operation of building material storage facilities, where they are frequently used. In addition to the loads from the bulk materials being separated, they are also subjected to loads, such as dynamic loads, from the use of heavy equipment during storage, retrieval, and transport of the bulk materials. Therefore, partition walls of this type, known from the prior art, have comparatively large dimensions in accordance with the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability. These dimensions are associated with a high weight and may also restrict the transportability of the partition walls. However, they are necessary to equip the partition wall with the statically required width and the weight calculated according to a static load.
[0007] Based on the prior art described above, the invention aims to further develop the generic partition wall in such a way that it nevertheless has increased stability despite reduced dimensions.
[0008] This problem is solved according to the invention by a partition wall for separating bulk materials of the type described above, which can be firmly connected to the substrate at its base area facing the substrate by means of at least one fastening element. Due to the firm connection between the base area of the partition wall on the one hand and the substrate on the other, any sliding movements of the partition wall on the substrate are excluded. Tilting movements of the partition wall are also largely prevented due to the fastening according to the invention, thereby achieving reduced thickness of the partition wall and thus a lower material requirement for its manufacture. LÜRA Holding GmbH, August 14, 2025
[0009] 124159 WO
[0010] Two of the smaller dimensions of the partition wall allow for a further reduction in the amount of filling material required. Transporting the partition wall can be accomplished with reduced energy and space requirements, and therefore with significantly reduced technical and economic effort.
[0011] According to an advantageous embodiment of the partition wall according to the invention, which can be used particularly when the partition wall is only filled with bulk material on one side, a fastening means is arranged on a lower edge of a first side wall of the partition wall, wherein this first side wall is arranged on the side of the partition wall filled with bulk material. A tipping moment exerted on the partition wall by the bulk material filled on one side cannot then lead to the partition wall tipping over.
[0012] If, in the partition wall according to the invention, a fastening means is arranged both at the lower edge of the first side wall and at the lower edge of a second side wall, then, in the case of a partition wall that is typically backed with bulk material on both sides during operation of a building materials storage facility, virtually absolute safety against tipping of the partition wall can be ensured even if the partition wall is temporarily backed with bulk material on only one side or the other. Fastening the partition wall on both sides is also always advantageous and expedient if the partition wall is loaded with a roof structure and if other external loads occur, e.g., due to conveyor belts or the like.
[0013] The fastening device can advantageously be designed as an anchoring system with components on the partition wall side and on the substrate side.
[0014] Such an anchoring system can expediently include an anchor plate attached to the partition wall. The partition wall, along with its anchor plates, can then be transported to the installation site and advantageously anchored to the ground using heavy-duty anchors.
[0015] Alternatively, the anchoring of the partition wall may include subsurface anchor plates, which are anchored to the subsoil by means of reinforcement anchors embedded in the subsoil and with which the first and / or second side wall is connected. LÜRA Holding GmbH August 14, 2025
[0016] 124159 WO
[0017] 3 can be welded at their lower edge(s).
[0018] Of course, depending on the requirements profile for the partition wall, it is also possible to use both partition wall-side and ground-side anchor plates for anchoring the partition wall.
[0019] A particularly stable fixing of the partition wall to the ground is achieved if at least each corner of the floor area of the partition wall is assigned an anchor plate.
[0020] If an anchor rail is provided as anchoring, extending along a lower edge of the partition wall, which is anchored in the substrate by means of preferably equally spaced reinforcement anchors and to which the lower edge of the side wall can be welded, preferably locally, the extent of the welding can be flexibly adapted to the requirements profile of the partition wall to be fixed, both in terms of the number of weld points and in terms of the size or length of the weld points.
[0021] A particularly easy-to-handle embodiment of the partition wall according to the invention is achieved if an angle plate provided on a lower edge of a side wall of the partition wall is included for anchoring, which extends along the lower edge of this side wall and which can be anchored in the substrate by means of preferably equally spaced reinforcement anchors.
[0022] Stepping on a foundation that may be present in the subsoil, e.g. a base slab or a strip foundation, can be counteracted if the side walls of the partition wall are arranged flush with the foundation.
[0023] To facilitate the installation of the partition wall in the correct position, an advantageous embodiment of the partition wall according to the invention features an upwardly projecting flange at the anchoring point, which can be welded to the outer surface of the corresponding side wall of the partition wall. The flange thus provides a vertically oriented contact surface for the respective side wall of the partition wall, whereby a weld LÜRA Holding GmbH August 14, 2025
[0024] 124159 WO
[0025] 4. This allows for different vertical positions of the partition wall relative to the flange between the outer surface of the partition wall's side wall on the one hand and the flange on the other. This not only makes erecting the partition wall easier, but also allows for the compensation of uneven ground surfaces.
[0026] To stabilize the mechanical structure consisting of the side wall of the partition wall, the anchorage and the flange, it is advantageous if a leveling element, which can be dimensioned as desired in the vertical or height direction, is inserted between the anchorage and the lower edge of the side wall of the partition wall associated with the flange.
[0027] In the case of a further advantageous embodiment of the partition wall according to the invention, the anchoring is designed as at least one flange element projecting upwards from the substrate, which can be welded to the associated side wall of the partition wall and is anchored to the substrate by means of reinforcement anchors provided at its lower edge.
[0028] In an alternative embodiment of the partition wall according to the invention, it is erected on an existing substrate, e.g. on compacted gravel, a strip foundation, a concrete slab or the like, and embedded at its base by a new covering applied to the existing substrate, wherein the fastening means is realized by embedding the base of the partition wall in the new covering.
[0029] If the partition wall has outwardly projecting elements on the outside of the base area of the partition wall, which are attached to the outside near or at the lower edge of a side wall or the side walls of the partition wall, preferably equally spaced apart from each other, and which project into the new covering applied to the existing substrate after the partition wall has been erected, the quality and resistance of the fastening of the partition wall to the substrate is significantly increased.
[0030] An advantageous further development of the partition wall according to the invention is achieved when the projecting elements are designed as brackets or display plates and are incorporated into the LÜRA Holding GmbH 14 August 2025
[0031] 124159 WO
[0032] 5 preferably new surface made of asphalt protrude into it.
[0033] Alternatively, the projecting elements on the partition wall side can be designed as retaining profiles, e.g. as UPE 100 retaining profiles, and protrude into the new covering, which is preferably made of concrete.
[0034] To further reinforce the fastening device, it is advantageous if reinforcing steel parts are arranged above the retaining profiles of the partition wall, which are embedded in the new surface made of concrete.
[0035] Special protection at the transition between the embedded floor area of the partition wall and the section of the partition wall projecting over the new covering is achieved if the partition wall is reinforced at or near the upper end of its floor area.
[0036] Accordingly, the outside of the partition wall can be protected in this area if a protective coating, preferably made of bitumen, is provided on the outside of the bottom area of the partition wall and above it.
[0037] To better seal the cavity formed in the partition wall, it is advisable for the partition wall to have a base plate at its bottom.
[0038] With partition walls designed in this way, anchoring can be achieved in a technically simple manner by forming evenly spaced holes in the base plate of the partition wall, preferably near the lower edge of at least one side wall, through which the base plate can be anchored in the substrate by means of reinforcement anchors.
[0039] To stabilize the mechanical structure of the base plate and anchorage, it is advantageous if a reinforcement plate on the partition wall side is preferably assigned to each bore of the base plate or to each reinforcement anchor.
[0040] In an inventive method for setting up a partition wall for separating bulk materials on an existing surface, the partition wall is set up in the desired position on the existing surface in order to LÜRA Holding GmbH August 14, 2025

[0043] A new covering was applied around the partition wall on the existing surface, and a floor area of the partition wall was embedded with the new covering.
[0044] Advantageously, when applying the new covering to the existing substrate, protruding elements extending outwards from the base area of the partition wall are embedded in the new covering.
[0045] Further improved stability of the partition wall is achieved if, before applying concrete as a new covering to the existing substrate, reinforcing steel parts are arranged above the projecting elements extending outwards from the base area of the partition wall, and the reinforcing steel parts are embedded in concrete together with the base area of the partition wall and the projecting elements when the base area of the partition wall is embedded with the new covering.

[0071] A first embodiment shown in a schematic diagram in Fig. 1 of LÜRA Holding GmbH, August 14, 2025
[0072] 124159 WO
[0073] The partition wall 1 according to the invention serves to separate bulk materials. The partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1 is only exposed to a bulk material 2 on one side. The partition wall 1 typically has a base plate 3, four walls, namely a first side wall 4, a second side wall 5, a front end wall 6, and a rear end wall 7 (not visible in Fig. 1), and a top plate 8. The base plate 3, the four walls 4, 5, 6, and 7, and the top plate 8 are connected to each other at their corresponding edges and enclose a cavity 9. The partition wall 1 is frequently used as such, e.g., in building material warehouses or the like. For this purpose, such a partition wall 1 is transported to a place of use and positioned there on an existing surface 10 in the position intended for it at the place of use.To increase the stability of the partition wall 1 at the desired location, the cavity 9 within the partition wall 1 is partially or almost completely filled with a suitable filling material, which is not shown in Figures 1 to 12, depending on the expected operational load on the partition wall 1. For this purpose, at least one filling opening, which is also not shown in Figures 1 to 12, can be provided at a suitable location in the walls 4, 5, 6 and / or 7 and / or in the cover plate 8.
[0074] In the embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1, it is secured against sliding on the surface 10. For this purpose, a fastening element 11 is provided in the embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1, which is arranged on the bottom area 12 of the partition wall 1, specifically in the area of the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4 of the partition wall 1, which is arranged on the right in Fig. 1. By means of the fastening element 11, which in the first embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1 is designed as an anchor, the partition wall 1 is firmly connected to the surface 10 in the area of the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4.
[0075] The anchoring 11 includes an anchor plate 14, and several such anchor plates 14 can be provided along the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4. The anchor plate 14 is arranged between the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 on the one hand and the substrate 10 on the other. In the embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1, the substrate 10 is provided with a foundation 15 in the area where the partition wall 1 is positioned, which can, for example, be made of suitable concrete. The anchor plate 14, LÜRA Holding GmbH, August 14, 2025
[0076] 124159 WO
[0077] The partition wall 1, which rests flat on the foundation 15, is firmly connected to the foundation 15 and thus to the subsoil 10 by means of a reinforcement anchor 16. This reliably prevents the partition wall 1 from sliding on the subsoil 10. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the partition wall 1 cannot move around its lower edge 17, even under the highest, possibly also dynamic, loads.
[0078] The tilting moment occurring around the lower edge 17 of the second side wall 5 of the partition wall 1, which is indicated by the load arrow 18 and the two arrows 19 and 20 in the first side wall 4 and in the second side wall 5 in Fig. 1, cannot cause the partition wall 1 to tilt around the lower edge 17 of its second side wall 4. This tilting moment is due to the one-sided load of the partition wall 1 with the bulk material 2 around the lower edge 17 of the second side wall 5 of the partition wall 1, and is indicated by the load arrow 18 and the two arrows 19 and 20 in the first side wall 4 and in the second side wall 5 in Fig. 1.
[0079] In the case of the second embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 2, it is provided to be acted upon from both sides. The bulk material 2 acts upon the first side wall 4 arranged on the right in Fig. 2, as in the case of the embodiment shown in Fig.
[0080] The first embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 1. A further bulk material 21 acts on the second side wall 5 on the left in Fig. 2. The second embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 2 is additionally equipped at the lower edge 17 of the second side wall 5 with a fastening means or anchoring 11 consisting of at least one anchor plate 14 and at least one reinforcing anchor 16. The fastening means 11 associated with the lower edge 17 of the second side wall 5 is designed in terms of its arrangement and its configuration according to the fastening means 11 associated with the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4, so that a detailed description of this fastening means 11 can be omitted.
[0081] Due to the design of both lower edges 13, 17 of the first 4 and second side wall 5, each with a fastening element 11, it is ensured even with a comparatively small thickness of the partition wall 1 that in a state of one-sided unloading of the partition wall 1, which occurs when there is no bulk material 2 or 21 on one side of the partition wall 1 and thus leads to a tipping moment about the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 or about the lower edge LÜRA Holding GmbH August 14, 2025
[0082] 124159 WO
[0083] 10
[0084] 17 of the second side wall 5 of the partition wall 1, a tipping of the partition wall 1 can be ruled out. The tipping moment about the lower edge 17 of the second side wall 5 of the partition wall 1 is indicated in Fig. 2 by the load arrow 18 and the arrows 19 and 20, the tipping moment about the lower edge 13 of the first side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 is indicated in Fig. 2 by the load arrow 22 and the two arrows 23 and 24 in the second side wall 5 and in the first side wall 4.
[0085] A third embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 3 and 4 and explained in more detail below, is provided with an anchor 11 at both the lower edge 13 of its first side wall 4 and the lower edge 17 of its second side wall 5. These anchors secure the partition wall 1 firmly to the foundation 15 on the ground, in particular against any sliding or tilting movements. Since the two anchors 11 are analogous in terms of arrangement and design, only the anchor 11 associated with the rear side wall 4 in Figure 2 and the right side wall 4 in Figure 4 will be described below. This anchor 11 includes two anchor plates 14, which are attached, in particular welded, to the lower rear corners of the partition wall 1 in Figure 3. Each anchor plate 14 of the anchoring 11 projects on the underside of the floor plate 3 approximately halfway beyond its associated front 6 or rear end wall 7 of the partition wall 1.As can be seen from a combination of figures 3 and 4, each anchor plate 14 of both anchorages 11 is firmly anchored in the foundation 15 by means of a heavy-duty anchor 25 at its section projecting outwards beyond its associated end wall 6 or 7.
[0086] In a fourth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in the general sectional view according to Fig. 5, the dimensions of the foundation 15 and the partition wall 1 are coordinated such that the two side walls 4 and 5 of the partition wall 1, of which only the second side wall 5 is shown in Fig. 5, are flush with their corresponding edge surfaces of the foundation 15. Accordingly, the foundation 15 is not subjected to any load from the lower edges 13 and 17 of the side walls 4 and 5 of the partition wall 1. The loads acting on the partition wall 1 are transferred via the base plate 3 or the anchor plates 14 of the anchorages 11 welded to the base plate 3 to the foundation 15 or to the LÜRA Holding GmbH, August 14, 2025.

[0088] 11
[0089] Subsurface 10 is diverted. This reliably prevents the formation of steps on the foundation 15, which is made of concrete, for example.
[0090] A fifth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 6 and 7, differs from the third embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4 in that the anchor plates 14 of the anchors 11 are not attached or welded to the base 12 of the partition wall 1, but are anchored to the foundation 15 present in the subsoil 10 (not shown in Figures 6 and 7) before the fixed connection between the partition wall 1 on the one hand and the foundation 15 or the subsoil 10 on the other hand is established. In the embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Figures 6 and 7, each anchor plate 14 is anchored in the foundation 15 by means of two reinforcing anchors 16, with one reinforcing anchor 16 being assigned to the section of the anchor plate 14 projecting below the partition wall 1 and the other to the section of the anchor plate 14 located below the partition wall 1.After the partition wall 1 has been erected in the intended position, as indicated in Figures 6 and 7, the anchor plates 14 are firmly connected to the partition wall 1 by means of welded connections 26 between the base area 12 of the partition wall 1 and the anchor plate 14.
[0091] In the case of the sixth embodiment of the partition wall 1, modified according to Fig. 8, recesses 27 are provided in the foundation 15. The recesses 27 are arranged such that they run along the lower edges 13 and 17 of the two side walls 4 and 5, respectively. An anchor rail 28 is arranged in each of the recesses 27 formed in the foundation 15. Each anchor rail 28 is anchored – depending on its longitudinal extent – in the foundation 15 and thus to the subsoil 10 (not shown in Fig. 8) by means of a corresponding number of reinforcing anchors 16. The fixed connection between the anchor rails 28 on the one hand and the bottom area 12 of the partition wall 1, which is positioned on the anchor rails 28 with the lower edges 13 and 17 of its side walls 4 and 5, on the other hand, is made by means of welded connections 29 spaced equally apart in the sixth embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Fig. 8, as indicated in Fig. 8.The number of local welds (29 per anchor rail, 28 per side wall, 4, 5) is freely selectable according to the requirements profile for the stability of the partition wall 1.

[0094] A seventh embodiment of the partition wall 1, described in more detail below with reference to Figures 9 and 10, has projecting elements 30 extending outwards from the outside of its side walls 4 and 5 at its base 12. These projecting elements can be designed as brackets or display plates. In the partition wall 1 shown in Figures 9 and 10, the projecting elements 30 are equidistant from each other along the lower edge 13 and 17 of the side walls 4 and 5 of the partition wall 1 and are attached in a suitable manner, e.g., by welding.
[0095] The partition wall 1 is erected at the desired position on an existing substrate 10, which may be, for example, compacted gravel, a strip foundation, a concrete slab, or the like. A new surface 31 is then applied to the existing substrate 10. Once applied to the existing substrate 10, the new surface 31, which may be, for example, asphalt, embeds the base section 12 of the partition wall 1 with the projecting elements 30 provided therein, designed as brackets or support plates. In the case of the seventh embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Figures 9 and 10, the embedding of the base section 12 of the partition wall 1, including the projecting elements 30 provided therein, in the new surface 31 applied to the existing substrate 10, forms the fastening means between the partition wall 1 on the one hand and the substrate 10 on the other.
[0096] An additional mechanical reinforcement 32 is incorporated into the cavity 9 of the partition wall 1 at the upper end section of the base area 12. This reinforcement is designed to prevent any damage to the partition wall 1 at the transition between its embedded base area 12 and its free area projecting above the new covering 31. A protective coating 33, which may be made of bitumen, for example, serves a similar protective purpose and is applied to the outside of the partition wall 1 at the transition between the embedded base area 12 and its free area.
[0097] An eighth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 11 and 12 and described in more detail below, differs from the seventh embodiment of the partition wall 1 shown in Figures 9 and 10 in that the projecting elements 30 arranged on the base area 12 of the partition wall 1 are designed as LÜRA Holding GmbH August 14, 2025
[0098] 124159 WO
[0099] 13
[0100] Retaining profiles, e.g., designed as UPE 100 retaining profiles. This eighth embodiment of the partition wall 1 is particularly suitable if a new surface 31 made of concrete is applied to the existing substrate 10 after the partition wall 1 has been erected in the desired position.
[0101] Before applying the new surface 31 made of concrete, in the eighth embodiment of the partition wall 1, reinforcing steel parts 34 are placed on the top of the projection elements 30 designed as retaining profiles, which are then embedded in the concrete forming the new surface 31 together with the bottom area 12 of the partition wall 1 when the new surface 31 is applied to the existing substrate 10.
[0102] A ninth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 13 and 14 and described in more detail below, has an anchoring 11, which includes an angle bracket 35. The angle bracket 35 is integrally formed on the lower edge 13 of the right-hand side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 in Figures 13 and 14, for example, by being welded there. The anchoring 11 also includes the reinforcing anchors 16, which are only indicated in Figures 13 and 14. These anchors firmly secure the anchoring 11, or rather its angle bracket 35, in the substrate 10, which is only shown in Figure 14. It should be noted that such an angle bracket 35 can also be provided on both lower edges 13, 17 of both side walls 4, 5 of the partition wall 1.
[0103] In a tenth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 15 and 16 and described in more detail below, bores 38 are formed in the base plate 3. One row of bores 38 is arranged at equal intervals close to and parallel with the lower edge 13 of the right-hand side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 in Figures 15 and 16, while another row of bores 38 is arranged at equal intervals close to and parallel with the lower edge 17 of the left-hand side wall 5 of the partition wall 1 in Figures 15 and 16. The base plate 3, and thus the partition wall 1, is anchored in the substrate 10 (shown only in Figure 16) by means of reinforcement anchors 16, indicated in Figure 16, which penetrate the bores 38.
[0104] An eleventh embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Fig. 17, differs from that of LÜRA Holding GmbH, August 14, 2025.
[0105] 124159 WO
[0106] 14 of the tenth embodiment described above with reference to Figures 15 and 16, in that a reinforcement plate 39 is provided on the base plate 3 for each of the bores 38 associated with the reinforcement anchors 16 indicated in Fig. 17 on the base plate 3 or on the side walls 4, 5 of the partition wall 1, through which the reinforcement anchors 16 protrude and which mechanically stabilizes the base plate 3 in the area of the reinforcement anchors 16.
[0107] A twelfth embodiment of the partition wall 1, shown in Figures 18 and 19 and described in more detail below, is anchored in the substrate 10 by means of an anchoring 11 in the area of the lower edge 13 of the right-hand side wall 4 of the partition wall 1 shown in Figures 18 and 19. The anchoring 11 includes anchor plates 14 and reinforcement anchors 16.
[0108] Each anchor plate 14 of the anchorage 11 has an upwardly projecting flange 36. This flange 36 forms a vertically oriented contact surface for the associated side wall 4 of the partition wall 1. To compensate for any level differences in the substrate 10, the outer surface of the side wall 4 can be welded to the flange 36 in any vertical position. To stabilize the mechanical structure consisting of the anchorage 11, flange 36, and side wall 4, a leveling element 37, shown in Figures 18 and 19, can be inserted between the upper surface of the anchor plate 14 of the anchorage 11 and the lower edge 13 of the side wall 4 of the partition wall 1. The height or vertical dimension of the respective leveling element can be dimensioned such that level differences in the substrate 10 are precisely compensated for when the side wall 4 is welded to the anchorage 11.
