Telestack Installs new truck unloader for dry bulk storage and transhipment
(Posted on 22/10/24)
Telestack, in collaboration with their long-term partner Van der Spek Vianen (VDS), has successfully installed and commissioned a brand-new, 70-tonne Mobile Titan W800 truck unloader at Lansers Trio in the Netherlands.
The Titan W800 is a versatile, wheel-mounted mobile truck unloader designed to facilitate direct unloading from trucks. It features a robust heavy duty apron chain feeder that allows 50-tonne road dump trucks and wheel loaders to unload material directly into the rear of the unit.
The Titan series of truck unloaders are ideal for eliminating the need for double handling of materials, ensuring a seamless and efficient 'direct' discharge from the truck. Prior to the installation of the Telestack W800 at Lanser Trio, the operator was required to dump materials onto the ground and then handle them again using wheel loaders, which significantly increased their costs per tonne and led to material degradation due to fuel spillage. The new system streamlines the unloading process, reduces operational costs, and preserves the quality of the materials.
The Telestack Titan W800 wheel-mobile was meticulously designed through a collaborative effort involving Lansers Trio (the customer), VDS (the Telestack dealer), and Telestack Ltd. This close partnership ensured that the Titan W800 would fully meet the customer’s diverse application requirements. The project exemplifies how Telestack and VDS, leveraging their custom design capabilities, push the boundaries of innovation to satisfy the demands of even the most challenging applications.
Features of the Telestack Titan W800 Truck Unloader
The W800 is a versatile piece of equipment specifically designed as a wheel-mounted Truck Unloader, featuring an integrated tow hitch for easy mobility across the site. This design element is crucial, as it allows the truck unloader to be easily repositioned as needed, enhancing its multi-functional capabilities. The W800 can be effectively used for various tasks such as reclaiming materials, feeding auxiliary equipment, and supplying material to Shiploaders. This flexibility makes it an essential component in streamlining site operations.
The W800 truck unloader for Lanser Trio was engineered to handle a diverse range of materials, including cokes, coal, and slag. The Truck Unloader is capable of efficiently managing materials with varying properties, ensuring seamless operation when unloading from 50-tonne trucks. It is designed to process between 600/ 700 TPH meeting the demanding requirements of the operation.
This is an all-electric driven unit as requested by Lanser Trio for higher efficiency and lower global footprint. It features a 'plug and play' system that seamlessly integrates onsite solar power with the main electrical grid, allowing for optimal use of renewable energy. Key electrical features include a blocked chute switch on feeder discharge point, radio remote control for all features on the truck unloader, LED lights and stainless-steel control panel engineered for durability in demanding environments. This is all enclosed with an IP 66 high grade control panel which is essential for protecting the control panel from dust and moisture infiltration, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
The W800 is equipped with a variable speed drive, allowing for precise control of belt speed to efficiently handle a variety of materials. To further enhance its performance, the unit has been upgraded with dust suppression covers, significantly reducing airborne dust during operation. Additionally, this mobile truck unloader can be optionally fitted with a radial trimming Telechute. This attachment is specifically designed for managing other types of dusty materials and facilitates direct loading onto barges and coastal vessels, making the W800 a versatile solution for a range of material handling needs.
