Chain Discharger
Laitex fuel receiving station with Chain Dischargers is a reliable choice for solid fuels. The design of a receiving station with Chain Dischargers ensures efficient truck unloading. In order to achieve the required storage capacity, several standard units can be installed side by side.
Due to its structure, the receiving station will empty completely during the material discharge. Storage volume depends on the conveyor length and the number of dischargers.
Stoker Discharger
Stoker Dischargers can be implemented in various dimensions by installing several standard units side by side for the required storage capacity. Several discharger sections for different fuel components also enables the generation of desired fuel mixes by discharging materials from several sections simultaneously.
Stoker Dischargers are usually hydraulically operated and installed on a concrete foundation. Available accessories include a blockage sensor and shredder or levelling rollers.
Moving floor
The horizontal unloading system of the Moving Floor allows handling of nearly any bulk material. The moving floor can be set up on concrete either on ground level or in a pit. The fully automated and self-unloading Moving Floor is a cost-effective fuel receiving solution. It has a simple and easy-to-clean sealed structure, which empties the storage with high accuracy.
