Telestack secures major contract for a
‘Truck to Ship’ loading system for
Aggregate Rock in Norway
Telestack is proud to announce the award of a
significant contract to supply a fully customised
‘Truck to Ship’ aggregate loading system for
Kvantum in Norway. This innovate project
reinforces Telestack’s leadership in providing
innovative, client focused material handling
solutions for another Ports and Inland Terminal
customer in Europe.
Purpose built to meet the customer’s site requirements, the
Telestack system consists of 2 x Truck Unloading systems
feeding a Link conveyor then to a TB 52 (170FT) Radial
Telescopic Shiploader operating at 2,500TPH of Aggregates
(1.6 t/m3). Once commissioned, the Ship-loading system will
load Handymax Vessel delivering a consistent, reliable and
robust material handling process for the customer.
The customer and operator of the system will be ‘Kvantum AS’
who were first incorporated in May, 2010 with their main
activities including chartering brokers, ship agents within
coastal trade, along with dry bulk sale and distribution of
aggregates throughout western Europe.
The project award was agreed in conjunction with our long-
standing Dealer Representative in Norway – Fredheim Maskin
(www.fredheim-maskin.no) who for over 10 x years have been
a loyal and innovative partner with Telestack to develop
market leading products and customer focused after-sales
support, which is critical for the overall success of this project
and others in their region.
• Minimal Infrastructure on site – The site has minimal
infrastructure to allow loading of the vessels, but the
modular nature and limited civil requirements of the
Telestack system allow for a seamless integration on site.
Robust and Proven Solution for a Demanding
Application
The heavy-duty system is design to meet the characteristics of
the material and site conditions, key features of the system
include:
• Direct loading to Vessels from Articulated Dump
Trucks (ADT) - 45 tonnes Payload to Vessels allowing for
an efficient ship-loading process.
• Dual Truck Discharge for 2,500TPH loading capacity -
High Capacity through ADT Trucks for enhanced
productivity and maximum efficiency
• Robust Aggregate Rock loading system – Handling 0 –
150mm (0 – 6 inch) Norwegian at high capacity is
testament to heavy duty design from the proven Telestack
design.
• Utilising the radial and telescopic features of the TB 52
Shiploader will allow for an efficient loading system to trim
the vessel hold and maintain production rates
• Rapid Deployment system which will be operational in
less than 9 x months to ensure a ‘quick’ turnaround from
‘Inception to Operation’
Strengthening Telestack’s Global Project
Portfolio
This latest contract highlights the continued trust placed in
Telestack’s engineering and project delivery teams by leading
operators worldwide. The collaboration with Kvantum and the
local representative – Fredheim Maskin showcases Telestack’s
ability to engineer robust and high performance systems.
“We are delighted to be awarded this contract by
Kvantum,” said Carl Donnelly – International Sales
Manager. “We greatly appreciate the trust shown by
Kvantum in Telestack to deliver on this robust system. We
understand the importance of this project for Kvantum
are looking forward to going above and beyond to meet
their expectations”
Stay tuned as this project moves through the Telestack design
and manufacturing facility before dispatch for operation in
Norway.
