Telestack Titan W800 for Dutch firm Lansers Trio
Mobile truck unloader for dry bulk handling installed and commissioned in the Netherlands
TELESTACK, in collaboration with long-term dealer partners Van der Spek Vianen (VDS), have successfully installed and commissioned a brand-new, 70-tonne mobile Titan W800 truck unloader at Lansers Trio in the Netherlands. Designed to facilitate direct unloading from trucks, the Titan W800 is a versatile, wheel-mounted mobile truck unloader featuring a robust, heavy-duty apron chain feeder that allows 50-tonne road-going trucks and wheel loaders to unload material directly into the rear of the unit.
According to Telestack, Titan series truck unloaders are ideal for eliminating the double handling of materials, ensuring a seamless and efficient ‘direct’ discharge from the truck. Prior to the installation of the Telestack W800 at Lansers Trio, the operator had to dump materials on the ground and handle them again using wheel loaders, significantly increasing cost per tonne and resulting in material degradation due to fuel spillage. The new system streamlines the unloading process, reduces operational costs, and preserves the quality of the materials.
Specifically designed as a wheel-mounted truck unloader, the Titan W800 features an integrated tow hitch for easy mobility across the site, allowing the unit to be easily repositioned as needed. The W800 can be effectively used for various tasks such as reclaiming materials, feeding auxiliary equipment, and supplying material to shiploaders. The W800 truck unloader for Lansers Trio was engineered to handle a diverse range of materials, including coke, coal, and slag, at 600–700 tonnes/h, to meet the demanding requirements of the operation.
The all-electric-driven unit features a ‘plug-and-play’ system that seamlessly integrates on-site solar power with the main electrical grid, allowing for optimal use of renewable energy. Key electrical features include a blocked-chute switch on the feeder discharge point, radio remote control for all features on the truck unloader, LED lights, and stainless-steel control panel featuring IP66-rated protection from dust and moisture infiltration, to ensure reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
The W800 is equipped with a variable-speed drive, allowing for precise control of belt speed to efficiently handle a variety of materials. To further enhance its performance, the unit has been upgraded with dust-suppression covers. Additionally, the mobile truck unloader can be fitted with an optional radial-trimming Telechute. This attachment is specifically designed for managing other types of dusty materials and facilitates direct loading on to barges and coastal vessels, making the W800 a versatile solution for a range of material-handling needs.
