Bulk Outloading

Project 2.
Bulk Outloading
The new Bulk Outloading facility is designed to accept sugar from an existing Bucket Elevator via a new Screw Conveyor and Airglide Belt Conveyor, supported by a bridge gantry, to a new Bucket Elevator in the new steel framed outloading building.

The Bucket Elevator lifts the sugar to the top floor of the building then discharges it through a

  • Vibro Screen
  • Magnet
  • Metalcheck
  • Sampler

in to a 65 tonne storage bin, which is on load cells.
A pneumatic slide valve allows the sugar to discharge through a bellows loading delivering to a sugar tanker, which sits below on a weighbridge.
The building, gantry and road system are new and bespoke to this project function.
The system capacity is for 100tonne/hour feeding 4000tonnes per week for bulk outloading.

As well as the design and erection of the building and civils, Robson supplied the following ATEX Category 1 equipment for this project.

  • 2 - Airglide Conveyors
