Today, Van Aalst engineers successfully completed yet another project. This time we supplied and commissioned an additional second truck loading station for the 2016 silo project. The customer can now load trucks at maximum speed at two points of the silo simultaneously with the silo being loaded from the ship.




This second trailer loading point has been added to avoid queues. The truck with cement trailer is driven onto a weighbridge where the weight to be loaded is determined. The driver gets on to open the filling hatch via the automatic safe rack. This safe walkway prevents the driver from falling off the trailer. The bellows are then placed on the filling hole and the product is loaded completely dust-free. The bellows are retracted and the hatch closed. In this way the customer can load up to 6 additional trucks per hour.
