Case study

Scarborough STW

Truck Loading Storage Silo with Sliding Frame Discharge Machine

Saxlund International won the contract to supply this truck loading silo for Scarborough Sewage Treatment Works. The de-watered cake is pumped into the top of the silo and Saxlund’s Sliding Frame technology is used to discharge at 80m³/h into trucks. Because of the sensitivity of the site to odour escape, the supply included a ‘drive through’ tunnel with automatic roller doors at each end. The control panel for the system was also within our scope.
