Biofuel Handling Cranes

In biofuel energy plants, wood chips or peat are the most common fuel types. The material is quite homogeneous, and normally no mixing is required. After the departure of the truck from the unloading area, the crane automatically starts the working cycle to transfer the material from the reception pocket to the adjacent storage. Likewise, the crane automatically starts the working cycle to fill the hopper from the storage after the reception of the command “fill the hopper” from the sensor of the hopper. The whole material handling system is based on the online storage management system. Follow-up is arranged through a monitor from the central control room.
The same modular solutions used in Konecranes WTE cranes are applied also in Biofuel Handling Cranes.
