SAMSON DELIVERS LARGEST TRUCK UNLOADER EVER

SYNERGIES WITHIN THE AUMUND GROUP WIN ORDER BY BAOSTEEL

At the end of 2014 AUMUND, SCHADE and SAMSON were able to register substantial orders by Baosteel Europe, respectively by the umbrella organisation Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation. The AUMUND Group’s project managers from Rheinberg and Ely were actively supported by the team of AUMUND Beijing in winning these orders. The largest Truck Unloader ever For the final customer Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd in China, Baosteel Europe based in Hamburg ordered two

of the Largest Truck Unloaders BFOT, ever developed and constructed by SAMSON, up to now. The machines will be delivered to the final customer in China, where they will be employed in the stockyard for feeding the yard belts during the maintenance of the Stacker / Reclaimer systems and for stockpiling coal and iron ore. The mobile Truck Unloader is designed for continuous operations during the maintenance period and occasional usage for stockpiling.

The Truck Unloader has a capacity of 1,200 to 1,500 t/h iron ore. Weighing at around 80 tons the Truck Unloader is mounted on oversize tracks to spread the load and remain within the client’s ground pressure limitations. These units will create a stockpile height of 8 metres, fitted with a 15 metre radial boom. The design can be expanded to a 20 metre boom with stacking height to 15 metres or even beyond. Up to now the Truck Unloader is used by SAMSON’s customers from a wide variety of industries for stockpiling bulk material as well as for loading into railcars and barges. Developed from the original Stormajor® the new tracked Truck Unloaders, BFOT, are very flexible in operation and with diesel motor drive operate fully autonomous requiring no fixed infrastructure or power supplies. This was a major factor for Baosteel since the equipment may be operated anywhere in the stockyard depending on the area of the stockpile to be reclaimed whilst minimising the wheeled-loader transit time and therefore maximising productivity.
