Potash Project: Controlled Extraction and Truck Loading
Integrated hopper and weigh feeding system for accurate potash extraction, transfer and controlled truck loading.
Problem
A potash handling operation required a reliable method to extract material from a 5m³ front-end loader (FEL)–filled hopper and load trucks with controlled accuracy. The system needed to regulate discharge rates, maintain consistent material flow onto an inclined conveyor and provide measurable, recorded output for operational accountability.
Solution
We delivered a hopper discharge arrangement incorporating a Belt Weigh Feeder to extract, weigh and transfer potash onto an inclined conveyor for truck loading. The integrated control system continuously adjusted feeder speed to maintain accurate throughput, while capturing and recording discharge data to ensure precise load control.
Outcome
The completed system provided controlled, measurable potash loading with consistent flow and improved operational accuracy. Automated feeder speed adjustment ensured reliable discharge rates, while recorded weight data enhanced traceability and load management for truck dispatch operations.
