Study, construction, delivery and assembly of a mobile hopper of 100 m³ for the unloading of wood pellets.
When handling bulk solids, the creation of dust is an undesirable, yet often seemingly unavoidable result. Taking woody biomass such as wood pellets or chips as an example, dust emission leads to production losses, negatively affects the environment and involves a major safety risk in the form of a potential dust explosion.
Geldof has acquired extensive knowledge in providing effective biomass handling solutions for logistic and utility companies throughout Europe.
Geldof recently installed a dust suppression hopper in the Port of Ghent, Belgium. It has an impressive capacity of 1,000 tons per hour The hopper was especially developed to ensure the safe and clean unloading of wood pellets by grab crane. Employing an innovative design, Geldof succeeded in retaining all dust emissions completely within the product stream. The result is both optimal efficiency and zero dust emission. This concept is applicable to fixed and mobile units with capacities and properties engineered to each individual application. Such installations unequivocally secure Geldof’s proven and enviable record of accomplishment in handling various free-flowing granular products.
