Telestack successfully install mobile shiploader for Isle of Wight Grain, UK

Telestack have recently installed a fully customized mobile shiploader loading grain to coaster vessels for Isle of Wight Grain, UK. The cambered boom shiploader is been fed directly from the grain hatch of trucks onto 4000 tonne coaster vessels. The wheel mounted radial shiploader ensures the operator can trim and change hatches with ease, also with the integrated tow hitch they can move the unit from the quayside when not in use. The unit forms part of a significant investment from the Isle of Wight grain to ensure they meet their target of 30,000 tonne of grain exported per year to Main-land Europe (France, Spain, Portugal and the Baltics). The LDU 521 Grain loader has currently loaded 10,000 tonne to vessels from installation 2 months ago and is set to load a further 5,000 to 10,000 in the coming months of the year.

The fully electric driven unit includes an integrated variable speed drive so the operator can speed up or slow down the belt, depending on the requirement during loading. The heavy duty lattice frame design ensures integral strength with a 1000mm wide chevron belt and the option of a 1200mm wide upgrade within the same design. This design also facilitates the integration of a 360 degree trimming chute, for increased trimming capabilities (if required). The operator is unloading 35 tonne grain trucks @ 200 – 300TPH, ensuring they enhance the loading time of the vessel.

This unit replaced an ‘out-dated’ designed unit, with the customer selecting the Telestack design over the previous supplier, this is explained by Chris Sprackling, Operators Manager at Isle of Wight Grain, “The previous equipment was not suffice to meet the increasing demands of our production. As we are on a mud wharf, the previous equipment could not reach the 5 metres (15ft) free-board height (On high tide) we required to load our maximum 4000 tonne vessels. The Telestack equipment achieved the greater production rate of 200 – 300TPH from the previous 100TPH capacity and loads / trims our largest vessels with ease.”

The radial facility of the LDU 521 Shiploader ensures the operator can trim the hatch of the vessel from one feed-in position to reduce downtime during loading. Also, as the grain cannot get wet and loading has to stop if it rains, the hydraulic internal hub driven radial wheels allow the operator radial out of the vessel during a hatch change or hatch sealing very quickly to ensure the material is not contaminated/damaged. Telestack also offer complete dust enclosed conveyors to eliminate dust emissions on site, if required.

Telestack Limited continue to excel in providing innovative mobile bulk material handling systems to its worldwide customer base. This is emphasized by Chris Sprackling, Operations Manager, “We chose the Telestack unit over the competitors due to the quality of construction / design shown in their equipment and the competitive price. Overall, we are extremely happy with the units operation and would consider purchasing other equipment from Telestack in the future. Also, we have found Telestack a very competent and honest company to deal on this project”.
