BULK -- CONTINUOUS TECHNOLOGY, AND THE REVOLUTION IN THE WINGS

The major event of the bulk handling calendar this year is the commissioning of the 1000 tonnes/hr phosphate unloader at Saint-Malo in October. A blueprint for higher capacity units, the Saint-Malo machine could determine the future of the continuous unloader concept within a few months. For while this unloader steals the limelight, as many as 30 potential customers for higher capacity machines are waiting in the wings.
