Environmental & Alternative Fuel Conveyor Systems

Alternative Fuels - International legislation coupled with individual Governments own long term commitment to produce a greater proportion of their country\'s power from \'Green\' sources, has placed more emphasis on the identification and use of alternative fuels.

From Worn Tyres to Biomass these alternatives fuels will become a significant alternative to fossil fuels over the next 20 years. Robson Engineers know the challenges in design, manufacturing and installing equipment to handle many of these different fuels. Biomass is produced from organic materials, either directly from plants or indirectly from industrial, commercial, domestic or agricultural products. Biomass fall into two main categories:
Woody Biomass includes forest products, untreated wood products, energy crops and short rotation coppice (SRC), which are quick-growing trees like willow.
Non-woody Biomass includes animal waste, industrial and biodegradable municipal products from food processing and high energy crops.

Environmental Conveyor Systems
 

Ash Handling Screw Conveyors:
These heavy-duty screws are designed to handle the ash, sand and incombustibles discharged at the bottom of fluidised bed incinerators and can withstand temperatures of up to 900ºC.
Sludge Cake Handling Conveyors:
A variety of troughed belt and screw conveyors, including push-plate units, designed to handle sludge cake from filter presses, belt presses and centrifuges.
Solids Removal Conveyors:
For use in sewage treatment works, Robson produce inclined screw units for grit removal and sidewalled belt conveyors to handle coarse stringy screenings and retain liquid that is then drained away safely via a gradual fall. Stainless steel construction provides increased resistance to corrosion.
Waste Feeders:
Designed primarily for controlled feed of raw domestic and industrial refuse into fluidised bed incinerators. These unite a number of features that detect and relieve potential blockages including a hydraulically movable shaft with monitoring devices, automatic stripper control and a hydraulically operated pusher quadrant fitted to the mouth of the feeder hopper.
