Enco was contracted to provide design
and detail engineering services and new transfer conveyor for
upgrade of existing ship loader. This project posed unique challenges
due to limitations of existing pier conveyor, gantry, ship size
and the requirement for material containment with boom in stored
(vertical) position. Enco’s responsibilities included supply
of new transfer conveyor to elevate material and design of new
telescoping air slide boom. The boom included box truss design
and 36” wide air slides to handle 1200 TPH of alumina. |
| The box truss, constructed
of 6061-T6 aluminum, provided 70 feet total reach from pier fender
line with 40 feet of shuttle travel. Enco’s fabrication
facility manufactured the 54” wide transfer conveyor and
reclaim hopper and shop assembled all to verify proper field interface.
The aluminum boom was outsourced and inspections were conducted
routinely to verify all design requirements were met. |
