Recent feedback from a long-standing operator of Siwertell equipment has resulted in an unequivocal recommendation for using a Siwertell ship unloader to handle sulfur; one of the world’s most corrosive and hazardous dry bulk commodities.

“Bruks and Siwertell both felt that the current industry climate and the potential for growth meant that a joint venture would be a success,” says Bruks Siwertell CEO Peter Jonsson. “We worked together to ensure the merger process was efficient and mutually beneficial and I believe that the integration of the two companies has been seamless.”

A recent one-day conference in São Paulo, Brazil’s industrial hub, has showcased how technological R&D translates into the creation of innovative products that positively impact the dry bulk handling market

Up until they were delivered, large steel plants have traditionally used the same unloading equipment for the iron ore and coking coal used in the steel production process, missing out on the efficiency gains that operating a Siwertell unloader offers.

There is no greater feedback than that from an operator. Without our valued customers taking the time to share experiences it is not possible to gain greater depths in our knowledge and continuously improve our products and services.

Many operators understand the value of good maintenance regimes and the commercial advantages that they deliver.

We know that the unexpected need to replace a slewing drive can cause substantial delays to your unloading and loading operations.

Almost 40 delegates attended the event, from around a dozen countries throughout Asia.

Bruks Siwertell has attended two events in March, both of which presented an ideal opportunity to meet with customers and industry stakeholders, and also to present the new strengthened capabilities of the merged Bruks Siwertell portfolio.

The new conveyor eliminates the use of traditional idlers and combines the use of air-cushion technology with Bruks’ standard belt conveyors, enabling customers to benefit from a high-capacity conveying system that offers minimal equipment wear and very low operating costs.
