For over 90 years, Kuypers, the family-owned company from Kessel in the Netherlands, specializes in the transport and handling of materials. Since the end of 2016 sand, in particular, is delivered by ship via the Maas river and unloaded with the new SENNEBOGEN 850 crawler excavator directly from the quay.

The work area of Ruud Thijssen, the driver, is at almost 6 m. He overlooks the Maas river and can intuitively operate his red SENNEBOGEN material handler. Finally the working weight of almost 80 t and the 19 m long equipment are moved safely and precisely and the SENNEBOGEN 850 with its broad gauge undercarriage is still directly at the quay wall. However this is not a problem – on a daily basis one grab load after the other lands safely in the hopper, from which the sand is conveyed straight away. Up to 2.75 m³ of sand per cycle is removed from the incoming ships and is later distributed by lorry to construction sites in the area. As a family-owned company, Kuypers Kessel Beheer B.V., looks back on a company history of over 90 years in material handling. With the new SENNEBOGEN 850 from the E series, not only is the most modern technology used for unloading, the operator also saves money with every lift thanks to Green Hybrid energy recovery and efficient Green Efficiency engine technology according to a 4-tier standard.

Save energy and costs with every lift

With the Green Hybrid energy recovery system, which is used as standard in the large SENNEBOGEN Green Line material handlers, a saving of up to 30% can easily be made with regards to operating costs. Fitted with a 224 kW diesel engine and approximately 65 kW achieved by the system, the machine has an overall system output close to 290 kW and thus huge savings are made. The operating principle of the recovery is easy and safe – similar to a spring which compresses and decompresses. When lowering the main boom, a third hydraulic cylinder recovers the kinetic energy. Following temporary storage in compressed gas storage tanks in the rear, this energy is available once more for the next lift.

Due to the exposed location directly at the quay, decisive criteria for those who are responsible at Kuypers were above all a comfortable reach depth of up to 7 m to be able to unload incoming ships across the entire ship’s width and also a reach height of approximately 20 m for the hopper feed. Thanks to the broad gauge undercarriage the machine is not only stable but can also be operated at a variable rate along the quay. An additional outrigger is not required. Last but not least, the 850 E comes with a 2.70 m elevating Maxcab comfort cab as standard. From this position, Ruud Thijssen, the driver, can not only look at the picturesque landscape but he also has the best view of his work area at the same time.

The order was booked in Cargotec’s fourth quarter 2016 order intake and the delivery will take place in October 2018.
 
“The plant’s owners want to employ the best available technology for its new facility,” says Peter Goransson, Siwertell Sales Manager & Senior Advisor. “It’s crucial that the high-capacity fuel-delivery system overcomes the challenges of safety, cargo degradation and environmental impact.”
 
Limited space meant that the structural footprint of the unloader had to be as small as possible, while the tail-end of the gantry had to be able to move aside to allow passage behind the equipment.
 
“We provided extensive references demonstrating our ability to meet the owner’s high standards and design criteria,” says Mr Goransson. “Important factors included compliance with environmental directives, a proven track record of good reliability and safety, high through-vessel discharge rates and the ability to handle sensitive products with minimal cargo degradation or breakages.”
 
Siwertell will deliver a tailor-made, rail-mounted ST 790-type D Siwertell unloader, which will be located close to the 299MW plant in Teesport. It will discharge wood pellets and wood chips to a matched Siwertell jetty conveyor with a movable transfer trolley, supplied as part of the contract. Siwertell biomass unloaders are also equipped with a new-generation safety system to mitigate the risks of fire and dust explosion when handling biomass in an enclosed space.
 
The unloader has a rated average capacity of 1,200t/h and a maximum rate of 1,320t/h, designed to meet the plant’s requirements of 16,000 tonnes/day. It is equipped with a dual truck loading system for continuous direct truck loading at a rate of 300t/h. This is a redundancy feature that allows operations to continue if the shore conveying system fails.
