Cylindrical vessel acts as standard ISO container
A Derbyshire-based supplier of minerals has completed a highly successful trial of the G type ISO-Veyor, a truly intermodal 20ft ISO vessel, facilitating easy transition between road, rail and sea
ISO-Veyor is ideal for ferrous sulphate delivery
ISO-Veyor is the ideal way to transport, store and discharge ferrous sulphate hydrate into the cement production process, a raw material required to meet current legislation
Key factors in Lafarge's decision to utilise the ISO-Veyor concept, were its ability to be transported by sea and by road and guaranteed security of the product during transit.
The ISO-Veyor will discharge the product directly into the process silo whilst in the horizontal position (no tilting equipment required - a Health and Safety issue).
The ISO-Veyor can be used to provide additional storage if and when necessary and the number of ISO-Veyors in the supply chain can easily be adapted to meet any changes in demand.
Bill Thomson, CEO of InBulk explains: "This contract is a significant step for InBulk Technologies.
We have succeeded in providing Lafarge Cement with sound economic and environmental reasons to choose our new equipment over existing technology.
We have shown that intermodal solutions can be adopted without difficulty.
We hope that this contract is the beginning of a long relationship between InBulk Technologies and Lafarge Cement and reflects just one of many other interesting opportunities developing for InBulk Technologies".
