Engineers from global leader in bespoke dry bulk loading chutes, Cleveland Cascades, have been overseeing one of the company’s latest chutes being assembled and installed in Spain. Working together on a new project with CHIA, of Spain, a Cascade chute for Clinker handling is being installed onto a Mobile Ship Loader at Malaga Port. Hot commissioning is ongoing.
The initial vessel loading demonstrated why the Cascade chute was selected for the project. To ensure clean loading without significant dust emissions, which were previously an environmental issue for Malaga Port.
The chute provided is the 1100s Chute size, with a length of 20.5 meters in total. The chute will be used to load Clinker into vessels at rates from 650 to 800 metric tonnes per hour.
Cleveland Cascades is a specialist in the design and manufacture of bespoke dry bulk loading chutes. Based in the North East of England, they have built a population of over 650 systems, working in bulk handling facilities worldwide.
The company is best known for Cascade controlled flow technology chute, which uses a series of inclined cones, inside a retractable cover, to control dust pollution at source, while at the same time minimising both material degradation and segregation. This technology has established the company as a leading global force in ship and silo loading chutes.
