Samson Units for Tilbury Cement Plant

10.12.2009 | Author: Wolfgang Geisler

Cemex in the UK inauguarated their new cement grinding works in the Port of Tilbury. The 1.2 million tonnes per annum plant increases Cemex UK´s cement capacity by 20%. For the transport of different bulk materials, B&W Mechanical Handling Ltd, a company of the Aumund Group, delivered two SamsonTM receiving units to the new cement works. The first machine of type Samson 800 is ten metres long (holding capacity 47t, discharge at 95-300 tph) and used for the clinker transport. A second Samson 800 along with a 16.0 m long transfer belt conveyor was supplied by B&W to transport limestone, gypsum and plaster-board with a holding capacity of 44t and discharge rate of 30-120 tph. The delivery scope also included silo discharge gates which were delivered by Aumund Fördertechnik in Rheinberg.

The Samson concept which combines a steel plate apron style conveyor with a flat cover belt, unites the benefits of a torsion-proof conveying surface with the clean operation of a belt conveyor. The uniform discharge of the material directly fed into the machine by tipping trucks results in high transfer capacities, while at the same time the low height of fall considerably cuts down the dust generation when material with a high content of fines is fed. The Samson unit is capable of receiving almost any kind of bulk material directly from tipping trucks or loading shovels and enables short-time buffer storage and controlled bulk material transfer onto subsequent components of the works. Thanks to its above-ground installation, these units represent a flexible alternative to traditional tipping points with under-floor pits. The system concept was developed by B&W in Ely and after the integration of the British company into the German Aumund Group is sold (and used) on the market worldwide.
