Helsinki, Finland -- Metso Minerals will supply a bucket wheel stacker reclaimer to Drax Power Limited in North Yorkshire, the United Kingdom. The delivery will be completed during the last quarter of 2009. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
The order is for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a bucket wheel stacker reclaimer for handling coal at Drax Power's power station. The equipment will replace the existing bucket wheel stacker reclaimer, which was installed by Metso in 1974. The order includes the dismantling of the current equipment. The new equipment has a stacking capacity of 3000 tons per hour and a reclaiming capacity of 2500 tons per hour, and a boom outreach of 38 meters.
The power station of Drax Power Limited is the largest, cleanest and most efficient coal fired power station in the UK and has a total capacity of just under 4000 megawatts. Drax Power also operates a second bucket wheel stacker reclaimer on the site, which was installed by Metso in 1982.
