Great Yarmouth Shiploader installation takes B&W back to its roots
World renowned port mobile plant specialist B&W Mechanical Handling Limited, based at Ely in the UK is enjoying a journey back to its roots with its latest Mobile Shiploader order. Lincolnshire based Gleadell Agriculture Limited has chosen B&W as the supplier of equipment for its brand new grain loading facility currently under construction at the Port of Great Yarmouth on the UK east coast. B&W started its Shiploading business over 30 years ago in the grain industry.
B&W enjoys the benefits of being fully integrated into the substantial and respected International Aumund Group with strategically placed offices in more than 10 countries and representatives in over 40.
Gleadell Agriculture was founded in 1880 as a grain merchant and expanded rapidly to include warehousing, malting, and animal feed manufacturing as its core activities. Indeed it was one of the first grain merchants in the UK to offer farmers a fully integrated storage and drying operation.
It now operates from 5 offices in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Leicestershire and Wiltshire and is the UK’s third largest ex-farm buyer of cereals. The company remains a leading exporter of cereals, pulses and oilseeds to buyers around the world and is also the market leader in the supply of organic grain to UK processors.
The 45 metre boom Mobile B&W Shiploader will be fed by twin integral, chassis mounted, Samson™ feeders enabling peak loading rates of 1000 tonnes per hour and average rates of 600 – 700 tonnes per hour into handy size vessels. Maximum mobility is available through the provision of B&Ws latest ‘New Generation’ Inline and Parallel wheel travel system and an on-board diesel generator set. Environmental considerations are paramount with dust control fitted to both Samson™ feeders and at transfer points.
To further eliminate dust and to protect the product from degradation a Cleveland Cascade telescopic chute will be employed at the loading boom end. Operator safety will be ensured by the provision of a climate controlled control cabin and general machine lighting. Product integrity will be enhanced by the provision of a permanent magnet and mesh grills fitted at the Samson™ transfer point to remove unwanted tramp and metals.
This order follows an earlier Mobile Sterling Series Shiploader installation (shown below) supplied by B&W to Gleadell in 2002 for their facility at the Port of Immingham. In this case grain is received into four Samson™ feeders, enabling peak loading rates of up to 2000 tonnes per hour and average loading rates of 1200 tonnes per hour. This machine has loaded several million tonnes since it was commissioned. Since 1983 similar Grain Shiploader installations have also been supplied to more than 30 other Ports in the UK alone.
Andrew Mitchell, B&W Managing Director commented “Gleadell Agriculture have purchased B&W Mobile Shiploaders in the past, including the Sterling series, and this latest order confirms their confidence in our design capabilities and the reliability of our equipment”.
The equipment is due for delivery in May 2010 and manufacturing is currently well underway in the UK. The system will be commissioned in the summer months in order to meet the harvest period.
