From Macawber Group

Three systems comprising a total transfer rate of 115 t/h were supplied to the customer whose plant was powered by an industrial size boiler on site. The systems handled the raw coal fuel moving it from a multi drop delivery reception system to a coal bunker. The coal ranged from 50mm (2") size down to pulverized particles of less than 0.1mm. The customer selected reliable and robust Macawber Denseveyor™ systems in an explosion proof configuration to handle the requirement of achieving a clean transfer of coal to the bunker with machine reliability and minimal maintenance. Through 30 years of material conveying experience, Macawber was able to deliver the equipment and provide onsite startup of the system to the customer's satisfaction.
