Koryo Fly Ash Cement Company in Seoul, South Korea, has placed an order with Cargotec for a standard 10 000 S road-mobile Siwertell unloader. The unloader, slated for delivery mid-February, will be used to unload cement at the company’s facilities in the Port of Dangjin.
The new trailer-based, diesel-powered unloader will be fitted with a double bellows system and dust filter and will have a rated capacity of 300t/h.
Jörgen Ojeda, Siwertell Sales Director for mobile unloaders , says the customer was looking for an environmentally friendly mobile unloader, with a capacity of 250-350t/h, suitable for ships of between 5,000 and 10,000 dwt, which could be delivered quickly to meet its commercial plans. “ While a short lead time from our manufacturing facilities in Bjuv, Sweden, was an important factor in the contract, it was not the only reason for choosing a Siwertell system ,” he says. “ Koryo were impressed by the number of deliveries we have made; this gives them a great deal of confidence, recognising that Siwertell has the most advanced and reliable technologies built up through many years of experience.
“ They are also aware that Siwertell is widely recognised in Korea, represented by a supportive supplier that always helps to solve any problems in a friendly manner, ” notes Mr Ojeda . “ This is seen as one of the most important aspects for a user who is not familiar with the unloading system .”
Originally developed for handling cement, road mobile Siwertell unloaders can handle a wide range of commodities. They represent one of the most reliable, environmentally-friendly and sustainable systems available on the market today.
