US: Bruks Siwertell is targeting its port-mobile unloader at the cement, alumina, and soya meal sectors after initially launching it to serve grain handling. It says the product has shown numerous advantages for use in cement handling and due to its enclosed design the unloader offers “no spillage and close-to-zero dust emissions.” It is available in 400t/hr or 600t/hr models and comes with a +/-30° articulating conveyor arm.
Director of mobile unloaders Jörgen Ojeda said, “For operators looking for a port-based system retaining similar flexibility during operation, but needing to discharge much larger vessels at a higher capacity, then our new port-mobile unloaders are a fantastic, extremely cost-effective option.” He added that screw-conveyor unloaders have the benefit over pneumatic discharge systems that they produce no fines, thanks to their “steady conveying velocity, with no particle collisions or crushing forces.”
