Record 3 2001-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Special Road Transport
  • Continuous Handling
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Truck unloading facilities, like those for rail, vary from terminal to terminal. Recently, large semitrailer hopper trucks have come into the grain movement. They carry between 20 and 30 tonnes and unload through bottom discharge gates into an unloading pit. Unlike the case of rail hoppers cars, normally few changes are required in terminal design to accommodate hopper trucks.

CONT

Les installations de déchargement des camions, comme celles des wagons, varient d'un silo industriel à l'autre. Il n'y a pas longtemps, on a vu apparaître de grands camions semi-remorques à trémies capables de transporter de 20 à 30 tonnes de grain et de les décharger dans les fosses par leurs vannes. Contrairement à ce qui se produit pour les wagons-trémies, l'aménagement des silos ne nécessite que peu de modifications pour permettre la livraison par camions a trémies.

Record 4 2000-02-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Facilities and Equipment
DEF

Component of mixing plant in which materials are mixed together.

CONT

Two types of plants are used to make hot mix asphalt concrete, the batch type mixing plant and the drum mix plant A batch plant mixes, then drops individual batches of hot mix asphalt concrete and a drum mix plant is a continuous flow type of production plant. In a batch type mixing plant different sizes of aggregates are drawn from a multi-bin cold feed system into an enclosed counter flow rotary drum. After the aggregate is dried, it is lifted to the top of the batching tower and on to a screen system which separates the aggregate into different sizes and then drops the different sizes into individual bins. Aggregate is then drawn from the hot bins in predetermined amounts, weighed and dropped into a pug mill mixer with the correct amount of liquid asphalt. The batch is mixed, then dropped into a waiting truck or sent to a surge bin until trucks arrive. In a drum mix plant a metered, four compartment, cold feed bin system supplies the exact amount of the required size of aggregates to the rotating drum mixer The drum mixer is an inclined, parallel flow dryer/mixer in which the aggregate is dried and heated in the upper section of the drum, then mixed with liquid in the lower part of the drum. From the drum the hot mix is discharged into a hot elevator which lifts the finished product to a surge hopper or storage silo both equipped to load trucks.
