“The owner needed a tailored solution to fit an existing berth, ” explained Bertil Andersson, Sales Manager, Bulk Terminals. “We were able to provide this, along with the reassurance that we have a well-known and reliable reputation for delivering numerous loaders of this type. Our Siwertell technology also provides an environmentally-friendly solution for the terminal, which will fit well with its planned efficiency and environmental standards.”
He added: “Initially the system has been designed to handle grain, but its inherent flexibility will also allow the operator to load flour in the future.”
