Two Cleveland Cascades Systems Installed at Port of Tyne, UK.

Cleveland Cascades have supplied and installed two identical systems at the Port of Tyne, Newcastle UK.

These systems are for loading open truck loading for Wood Pellets and coal, designed to load 500 tonnes per hour.

Both have been installed by Port of Tyne with support from Cleveland Cascades Engineers.

The systems are 6.4 meters long from interface to carrier outlet and are suspended from a fixed head chute interface.

Each system is fitted with a locally mounted spool type hoist unit for extension and retraction. The systems each feature electrical components for safety and automation including: Material detection, collision detection, slack rope monitoring and upper limit identification. Since these systems are operating in a potentially explosive environment, the electrical components are ATEX rated for zone 20, 21, & 22 with a minimum IP65 ingress protection.

The head chute running faces are lined with Hardox and the cones lined with stainless steel for abrasion protection.

Each cascade is supplied with our outer shroud and skirt outlet for dust suppression as standard.

The systems can be seen throughout the installation process in the Gallery below.

Cleveland Cascades are to return to site to support with final commissioning once the customer is ready to do so.
