It used to be different… material transport between the sawmill and the boiler was done by having one person driving a wheel loader back and forth on full throttle all day long…
Today it is a another story; a more cost efficient way to transport the material was found in PST’s spiral conveyors. This challenging project resulted in PST designing and delivering our longest conveyor ever, 63,5m! The installation comprises a vertical system, including a top conveyor which is equipped with frequency controlled dual drive units, and a reversible spiral.
