News PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT DUO strengthens product line
Newly formed Terex Washing Systems (TWS), which has replaced the washing equipment offered by Terex’s Powerscreen and Finlay brands, has appointed DUO Equipment as its dealer in England and Wales.
In recent years the washing market has seen significant developments such as stricter specification compliance; increased product recovery level requirements; growth in the aggregate recycling business, and the increased requirement for water treatment technologies. DUO have consistently met the demands of the market and will continue to do so with the support of TWS. TWS offers a broad product
portfolio, including; sand wash and fines recovery plants, log washers, hoppers, feeders, conveyors, de-watering screens, static screens,
mobile, static and modular rinsers, as well as the addition of combination plants and water management systems.
Sean Loughran, global product line director for TWS states: “Utilisation of proven Terex washing technologies and a strong focus on R&D will drive our new product development programme. Supported by a dedicated engineering, sales and application team, TWS will quickly become one of the global leaders in mineral washing equipment.” Commenting on DUO’s appointment, Sean added: “Asking DUO to be our representative was an obvious decision as they have spent many years as the leading washing dealer of Powerscreen’s global dealer network. Their application experience in not only washing but also crushing, screening and
water treatment, as well as the support they receive from their manufacturing division, means that TWS products will form part of the turnkey package that DUO offer.” Fintan Mckeever, managing director, DUO Equipment, commented: “We are delighted to continue our association with Terex. We’re a progressive company who welcome new products and technologies; Terex’s dedicated washing focus will allow further development of an already impressive product range.” He added “At DUO we strive to offer the best washing solutions in the industry, a vision shared by TWS, so our close working relationship will facilitate product development in line with the market’s requirements. Our customers can look forward to benefiting from innovative, robust and efficient products which will take the washing market forward and set new standards.”
DUO is now able to offer the new product line, and TWS are already underway with new product development, although the official launch is not until this year’s Hillhead exhibition in June. DUO and TWS will be exhibiting together at the show and both companies extend their welcome to all those in attendance (Stand H9). n
PORT NEWS Coal cargo record
Laden with 76,195 tonnes of coal, the Alam Pesona sailed in to Port in May, smashing the record for the largest cargo on the Tyne previously set by sister ship Alam Penting. The ship has travelled from New Orleans (Louisiana) and took 18 days to reach the Port of Tyne without stopping, covering a distance of 4,800 nautical miles. The Port invested £5 million in deepening the river last year making it possible to handle 83% of the world’s global fleet of cargo vessels. Steven Harrison, Port of Tyne chief operating officer said: “Developments in the energy sector remain central to the Port of Tyne’s business development and coal remains an important part of the Ports business.”
The handling and transportation of coal has also been supported by significant investment in rail infrastructure, with additional capacity created by the re-opening of a section of rail track known as the Boldon East Curve. This means trains leaving the Port are routed more efficiently to the East Coast Main Line, making onward transportation to the Port’s power generating customers faster and more cost effective.
Coal has traditionally been an important cargo to the Tyne since the 16th Century, exported to every corner of the globe. In 2004 coal began to be imported in significant volumes and in 2011 over two million tonnes of coal was imported via the Port of Tyne. n
