FMW Wood Chip Receiving Solution – Container Tipping

Introducing the Container Tipping Machine

The pulp and paper industry is a highly competitive market, where efficient handling of raw materials is crucial for success. One of the key challenges faced by companies in this industry is the unloading of wood chips from trains and containers. Manual or semi-automated processes can lead to delays, increased labor costs, and inconsistent wood chip handling. To address this issue, FMW, in partnership with Innofreight, has developed the Container Tipping Machine – a fully automated solution that streamlines the unloading process and directs wood chips seamlessly into further processing or storage.

How it works

The (stationary) container dumper is used to empty 20-foot containers (on railcar chassis) in the most efficient way possible using an overhead method. The fork body reaches into the bottom of the container, moves it from the wagon to the discharge position and tilts it with the tipping module until the material flows out into the ground-level bunker behind.

During unloading, a sample of the wood chips can be taken automatically for quality analysis in the laboratory.

Conclusion

By implementing Innofreights Container Tipping Machine, you can expect immediate productivity gains and a competitive edge in the pulp and paper industry. To learn more about how the solution can benefit your operations, contact our experts today.
