Vibrating floor feeds biomass

(1 October 2007)

Silexport International of France has successfully carried out trials using its VIBRAFLOOR vibrating floor system for feeding wood chips, pellets, sawdust and shredded bark automatically from 20ft containers into a furnace without any intermediate handling. In cold climates, 90cu m railcar loads of frozen wood chips were unloaded in 3-4min. Latest VIBRAFLOOR installations include a 26m diameter sulphur silo in Portugal and a self-unloading Norwegian fish feed vessel.
