Faxe Kalk of Denmark has ordered a Siwertell 5000 S mobile dry bulk ship unloader from Cargotec to handle calcium oxide at 130 tonnes per hour.
The minerals company takes delivery of the screw-type unloader in June, and will use it at the ports of Faxe Ladeplads and Vejle, which are 235 kilometres apart. Mounted on a semitrailer the Siwertell 5000 S is fully road mobile and suitable for vessels of up to about 5,000DWT.
"The equipment can be unfolded and ready for operation just 30-45 minutes after arrival at the unloading site," says Jörgen Ojeda, Cargotec's director for mobile unloaders. "It is possible for one person only to unfold or fold-up the unloader on their own".
Faxe Kalk's trailer-based unloader is diesel-powered and features a dual-bellows system, which can be operated via wireless remote control or by using a pre-programmed automatic shifting function.
