Chain conveyor, Fuel handling for power, Push floor

Biomass Reception & Storage System - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station

The two stockpile Push Floor discharge machines each hold 1000m³ of material. The material is pushed towards the discharge opening by the reciprocating action of the Push Floor and falls into the lower section of the Saxlund Scraper Chain Conveyor.

Case study

Fiddler’s Ferry Power Station

Biomass Reception and Handling System.

The two stockpile Push Floor discharge machines each hold 1000m³ of material. The stockpile is maintained at an average height of 4m using the mobile plant and the static stockpiles of material within the storage building.

The material is pushed towards the discharge opening by the reciprocating action of the Push Floor and falls into the lower section of the Saxlund Scraper Chain Conveyor. The chain conveyor pulls the material towards the outlet and discharges it onto a belt conveyor.
