Bruks Turbulator ensures successful operations for CanFor Pulp

10 Oct 2018

Bruks Siwertell has completed its delivery of a Bruks Turbulator air-supported belt conveyor for CanFor Pulp’s facility in Prince George, British Colombia. 

The Tubulator offers a unique operating profile composed of a belt running inside a tube, with a low-pressure layer of air suspending the belt inside. The conveyor supply includes support towers, which can be located up to 76m (250ft) apart, enabling the tower locations to miss important right-of-ways for roads and rails. 

The Bruks installation has replaced a full-size 244m (800ft) long blowline that had spanned from one side of the facility to the top of the boiler building. Full-scale operations began in August 2018.
