Metso to supply railcar dumper technology to Westshore Terminals Limited Partnership
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on October 5, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. local time
Metso will supply railcar dumper technology to Westshore Terminals Limited
Partnership, which operates a coal storage and loading terminal located at
Roberts Bank, Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The terminal is the largest coal
export facility and the largest dry bulk terminal on the west coast of the
Americas. The value of the order will not be disclosed.
Metso's delivery includes equipment for railcar unloading lines. Metso will
provide three new 240 kip wire rope positioners and a new rotary railcar dumper
and a replacement rotary railcar dumper, both to include all new hoppers,
feeders and gates. The contract comprises the design, supply, installation and
commissioning of all equipment.
"What makes the project special for us is that this will be the first Gemini
positioner system with positioners on both the exit and entrance ends of the
dumper. In this way the system can automatically index trains with mid-train
locomotives. Each line will be able to handle 64 cars per hour," says Tim
Sexton, Manager, Product Support, Metso.
Metso's delivery will be completed during 2012. The order is included in Mining
and Construction Technology's third quarter 2011 orders received.
Westshore Terminals has been the leading name in coal exporting facilities in
Canada since 1970. It is Canada's No. 1 coal export facility, and this project
will raise its throughput capacity to an anticipated 33 million metric tons of
coal per year.
Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 29,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
