ThyssenKrupp to Supply Port in Ukraine

Essen, Germany -- At the Port of Yuzhny, one of the largest seaports on the Black Sea, a modern coal and ore handling terminal has been built, reaching a capacity of up to 10 million tons per year. The terminal owner is the company TIS Transinvest Service of Odessa in the Ukraine and ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik of St. Ingbert will supply the essential materials handling equipment for the commodities.

Following extensive negotiations, the contract documents awarding the contract to supply equipment to the value of almost 10 million euros were signed at this year’s BAUMA exhibition in Munich.

Since 1994, contracts totaling approximately 30 million euros have been successfully concluded between TIS and TKF and, with the award of this new contract, together with other orders from the former Soviet Union, ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik have been able to repeatedly prove their technical competence, performance and efficiency over the last two years.

Coal and ore are delivered to the terminal in open wagons. At a separate unloading station, the wagons will be lifted from the rail track and simultaneously emptied into a bunker by means of a side discharge dumper which turns the wagons upside down to release the material. (See photo above.)

The wagon unloading station has a capacity of 1,600 t/h. From there, the material will be conveyed to an open stockyard where it will be stockpiled by a stacker. In order to load it into ships, the material will be reclaimed from the stockpile by a reclaimer and transported to the respective loading pier in the port via a conveyor system, where a TKF shiploader with a capacity of 3,500 t/h will feed the material into ships ranging in size up to 120,000 DWT.

Special requirements had to be taken into consideration when designing and configuring the machines, particularly with regard to environmental protection, i.e. dust and noise emissions, as well as ease of operation. ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik were able to use their many years of experience and knowledge of shiploader construction in order to implement the necessary measures and solutions which were required to achieve an environmentally friendly plant.

ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik

ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik looks back on more than 140 years of experience and know-how concerning its range of activities. This enables the company to design, supply and assemble individual machines and systems as well as complete major projects specially oriented towards the requirements of the customers.

New Thompson Heavy-Duty Checkweigher

Houston, TX -- Thompson Scale's model 4693 Heavy-Duty Checkweigher is designed for industrial and institutional packaging applications, with weight ranges from 1 lb to 500 lbs. Weigh station conveyors range from 4' long up to 5' long and run at speeds up to 220 feet per minute. The checkweigher's production rate of up to 50 units per minute meets the weight requirements of most industrial bag and box products.

This version of the checkweigher is unique because of its ability to weigh accurately at angles up to plus or minus 12 degrees. Its pop-up reject mechanism allows for quick and easy rejection of off-spec items. It also features an internally controlled pacing conveyor to ensure properly spaced packages across the scale for precise weighing.

This checkweigher is a simple, easy to use, rugged, yet highly accurate production scale. Although the 4693 Heavy-Duty Checkweigher is specifically designed for harsh, abusive, dirty environments commonly found in the cement, concrete, soil, and bark industries; it remains extremely accurate and dependable. Users in the chemical, starch, flour, and salt industries can also rely on this checkweigher for their quality control by weight.

The 4693 Heavy-Duty Checkweigher is designed for heavy products in many shapes or sizes. Items compatible with the 4693 include anything from bagged product, to boxes, cartons, and pails. A variety of weigh station conveyors are available to meet the specific needs of each application.
