PROJECT NAME: CLINKER LOADING CONVEYOR SYSTEM TO BARGE – TAFICO
ACHIEVEMENTS:
- Increased productivity by at least 300% compared to the previously used bucket or grab methods.
- Saved 35% on handling costs compared to the old method.
- Flexible lifting capability at the discharge point to suit the ship’s draft and vessel depth.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
- Conveyor system to load clinker at 90°C onto ships/barges with a capacity of 175 tons/hour.
- Flexible lifting mechanism at the discharge point to match the ship’s draft and vessel depth/barges.
- Solve the problem of reducing operating costs by at least 25%.
OWTEK TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS:
- Selected a design option with a separate discharge section, with flexible lifting capabilities according to the ship’s draft level at the installation site (Ben Keo Port – Tay Ninh).
- Selected materials to meet the heat requirements of the product being transported and provided anti-corrosion protection.
- Project completion time: Record – within 45 days – due to the critical and urgent nature of the project.
