TRAIN UNLOADING SYSTEMS
Train Unloading Systems are a highly strategic part of any materials handling facility and full system redundancy can come at a high cost if not carefully considered from the conceptual planning stages. Precise planning, the choice of high-quality equipment, design and engineering know-how, together with strategic spare parts planning, is vital in maximising performance, availability and reliability.
Replacing, upgrading and repairing any aspect of a Train Unloading System, particularly Wagon Tipplers, can be extremely expensive both for indirect and consequential costs, particularly if insufficient system redundancy and availability have not been foreseen and built-in from the outset of a project. Incorrectly specified equipment can be more difficult to rectify for Train Unloading Systems than any other type of bulk materials handling equipment.
The capital cost of achieving a well-planned system can be minimised and mitigated by establishing client requirements at the earliest point in project planning. To this end, Ashton Bulk provide consultancy services and a range of modularised designs.
