Superior and Masaba resolve patents disputes
(Posted on 14/05/18)
Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, says it has resolved its disputes with Masaba, Inc. regarding Superior’s truck unloader patents. As part of that resolution, Masaba has been granted a non-exclusive license to manufacture, sell and offer to sell Masaba truck unloaders under Superior’s related patents.
According to Superior, low profile RazerTail Truck Unloaders offer a portable solution for unloading dry bulk materials from belly and end dump trucks. Each unit is equipped with a drive over, grated hopper section to collect material and transfer it to an integrated variable height discharge conveyor. While maintaining its in-spec consistency, the material can be delivered to stacking or transfer conveyors, railcars, or barge and ship loaders. EachRazerTail Truck Unloader is equipped with a set of self-cleaning ramps, to direct any overflow material into the hopper.
Superior Industries engineers and manufactures groundbreaking, bulk material handling equipment and cutting-edge components. From its headquarters in Morris, Minnesota, USA, the manufacturing firm supplies bulk crushing, screening, washing and conveying systems for industries including construction aggregates, mining, bulk terminals, agriculture, power and biomass. In addition to its home plant in Minnesota, the 45-year-old Superior operates from additional engineering and manufacturing plants in Alberta, Canada; Arizona, USA; Georgia, USA; Michigan, USA; Nebraska, USA; and New Brunswick, Canada.
