Multi-fuel unloaders for ABP

摘要

Cargotec-owned Siwertell has delivered, installed and commissioned two Siwertell ship-unloaders at Associated British Ports' (ABP) port of Immingham, UK. Manufactured and assembled in Italy, the type ST790-D screw type unloaders are equipped with slewable gantry tail conveyors. They will be used to discharge wood pellets and coal to supply the Drax power station. Both types of fuel will be unloaded at a rate of 1,200 t/hr. Siwertell said ABP chose the Siwertell unloaders after observing a similar Siwertell unit in operation at Mersey Docks in Liverpool, as well as reviewing a number of machines on the market and paying visits to various facilities across Europe.
