In brief
FPE markets Jadal bin activator The Jadal bin activation system has been manufactured by FPE Global for a number of years. However, until now, it has only been made available as part of an overall processing system.
The Jadal bin activator is a unique and patented bin activation system which is fitted to the outlet cones of bulk storage silos and vessels. The big advantage of the Jadal over a normal coned silo base is that the Jadal is flat-bottomed which significantly reduces the height of the silo. Also, it has multiple outlets - a maximum of six which can operate simultaneously - ideal where a number of production lines need to be fed from a single silo. As there is no need for a distribution hub and all its associated pipework there is a major saving in space and cost. The real beauty of the Jadal is that there are no internal moving parts; just the combination of a radial vibrating motion and an internal inverted head cone which promotes mass flow through the vessel.
The distinctive Jadal design combining a flat bottom, multiple outlets up to six feeding simultaneously and radial action makes this product extremely versatile. Tim Stewardson is the Sales Director of FPE Global. He said: “Over the past few months, we have seen an increase in the number of enquiries for turnkey systems which include the Jadal. Therefore we have decided to offer it to other system providers on a manufactured- to-order basis.”
CEMEX trucks on
CEMEX UK has invested £2.9 million in 40 new MAN vehicles to be based at its South Ferriby cement plant in Lincolnshire. The MAN 26-440 Euro 5 TGS 6 x 2 tractor units, fitted with Gardner Denver XK 12 blower unit and Hyropack will replace 40 existing vehicles that have completed over 750,000 kms and are suffering from increased downtime.
CEMEX UK has a logistics fleet of nearly 400 vehicles that service the cement and aggregates business and in total cover nearly 90 million kms per annum. These
vehicles will join over 500
ready mixed concrete trucks already in CEMEX’s livery.
The operating benefits of the new vehicles include fuel savings of around 3 – 5% per gallon, CO2 emission reduction compared to the previous MAN Euro4 model, reduction in the use of gas oil and increase carrying capacity of 3⁄4 tonne of cement due to the removal of the donkey or slave engine. The donkey engine is currently fitted to the tanker with a compressor allows pressurised cement in the tanker to be dispensed.
In addition to operating benefits, the new vehicles give the company the opportunity to add extra features aimed at elevating health and safety standards. All grab handles are painted red to encourage three points of contact, ground operated suzie coupling for reduced working at height and safer practice for drivers and ‘Sidescan’, a number of sensors fitted along the side of the nearside of the vehicle to aid cyclist safety.
Easier clean with Gotland
Another Energy from Waste plant is finding Gotland’s own waste removal technology the ideal solution to maintaining higher housekeeping standards.
Located at Stallingborough in North East Lincolnshire, the site is operated by Newlincs Developments, a subsidiary of Cyclerval-UK which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the French-based Tiru Group, one of the foremost operators in waste processing in Europe. The facility provides the local community with an integrated waste management solution directly proportional to its needs and includes a materials recycling centre, a composting operation and an EfW plant which utilises oscillating kiln technology.
Operated on a 25-year contract for North East Lincolnshire Council, the facility has been designed to process around 56.000 tonnes of household waste from the local community, providing 3MW of electricity and 3MW of hot water to an adjacent industrial facility. While operationally highly efficient, an inevitable by-product of the incineration processing is fine dust that without constant attention builds up.
Graham Hewitt, assistant EfW manager 6 Solids & Bulk Handling • November 2010
at Stallingborough, is responsible for maintaining high standards of housekeeping. Having hired a BagVAC on two previous occasions over the last year, Graham has been sufficiently impressed with the BagVAC’s performance and results to go ahead with the purchase of one as a permanent part of the site’s housekeeping equipment.
Graham is on a constant warpath when it comes to dust build up around the EfW: “Dust is a major issue, and removing it from everywhere we can is a daily part of our operational regime. We focus on the key sections of the EfW plant, and the BagVAC will be in one part for a month or two, before being moved to the next part.”
