CONTAINER AND TRUCK LOADER
A & S THAI WORKS CO., LTD
Telescopic M&B (meat and bone meal) loader for 20 foot containers through the door, and also for top loading of trucks.
Loading a 20 foot container with M&B meal efficiently has always been difficult as some use a
“belt type-meal thrower” which is slow and gives dust problems.
ASTW have therefore developed a sturdy, semi automatic container and truck meal loader.
Function:
The telescopic screw conveyor feeds through one open (the right hand) container door, goes all the way in close to ceiling of the container before it starts feeding and then moves slowly backwards.
The feed rate is controlled by the pressure of the outflowing meal and 20 tons of meal is filled in about 30 minutes.
The whole telescopic unit is mounted on a strong portal and lifts up and down to preset positions:
a) low position for container loading
b) high position for truck loading, about 4 meters
c) top position 4.2 meters so that trucks can pass underneath
The fully pre-programmed automatic functions are set on a touch screen PLC that can be adjusted by the operator and switched to manual mode if needed.
