Space optimalization with efficient truck loading!

In our previous post we have informed you that we have succesfully commissioned the FGD Gypsum silo at the PKN Orlen site in Plock Poland. Today we want to share with you a picture with a very nice overview of the space saving truck loading station. The loading area with two truck loading lanes is fully integrated in the silo structure. So a seperate truck loading station and the connecting belt conveyors are eliminated. By doing so the overall footprint is minimized, the investment sum is reduced and the reliability is improved!

How does it work?

The truck can be positioned in either of the two lanes underneath the loading spout. The weight of tuck/gypsum load is registerd by a truck scale. After selecting the ammount of gypsum to be loaded by the driver, the proces starts and stops automatically at the preselected value.
