Swedish Company Improve Stockpile Capacity and Lower Costs with the Purchase of Two Telestack Telescopic Radial Conveyors
Swedish company Rimbo Jord have recently purchased two mobile telescopic stockpiling conveyors from Omagh based Telestack International Ltd. Situated 50kms North of Stockholm the company operates a total of four quarries, producing a range of aggregates for the local construction market. Over the last year the company has made a considerable investment in new plant and equipment to ensure it is well placed to serve the booming construction sector, a positive sign of the current economic recovery underway in Sweden
Due to the high cost of diesel in Sweden Rimbo Jord decided to invest in a new static plant operation. This included the purchase of two electric hydraulic powered TS-542 model telescopic conveyors. One of the Telestack units is being used to automatically stockpile 0 -16mm, 0-30mm and 0-65mm aggregates into three individual segments through a 180 degree radial arc. The second unit is stockpiling screened 8 – 16mm and 16 – 32mm aggregate via radio remote control.
Incorporating two telescopic conveyors have allowed Rimbo Jord to make substantial cost savings over their old method of creating larger stockpiles using a wheel loader. General manager Håkan Holmgren commented, ‘I used to employ an operator and wheel loader full time to move stockpiles from A to B. This was not adding value to the operation and our running costs per hour turned out to be much higher when we looked at our diesel, labour, servicing and wear costs and compared them with the telescopic conveyors. The TS-542 units require no labour or diesel and involve minimal service and wear. Essentially we wanted to minimise risk, determining that less things can go wrong with a conveyor compared to a wheel loader. With the introduction of telescopic conveyors our operating costs per tonne have gone down and we no longer have to worry about drivers being sick or absent. A further benefit for us is that segregation and contamination of our road base material is no longer a problem and our customers are pleased to receive a quality product.”
Looking to the future Rimbo Jord are considering using a telescopic conveyor to load aggregates onto barges, for onward distribution via the inland waterways of Sweden. The company believes this method of transport will be a more cost effective and environmentally sound alternative to traditional truck haulage.
