The digitization of media has changed the way in which we are able to communicate and engage with audiences, providing unique glimpses into technology and its capabilities, and insight into global dry bulk operations.

One of the fastest, most efficient ways to distribute and discharge the huge volumes of processed wood chips required by the bioenergy market and pulp and particle board industries is via bulk trucks.

Globally, we are learning that all raw material is a valuable, often finite, resource and unnecessary losses are becoming increasingly unacceptable, both from an environmental and operational perspective.

A test facility in Whitesburg, Georgia, USA, has been specially built to showcase the performance capabilities of Bruks Siwertell’s new air-supported belt conveyor, ‘The Belt Conveyor™ ’.

Companies that have the capability of turning waste into something valuable not only profit from it, but are also more environmentally sustainable.

Just as Edison did not actually invent the lightbulb, Olle Siwersson and Gunnar Tell did not invent the vertical screw. But like Thomas Edison, and Archimedes before him, they took an already established concept, applied it for a new purpose, and refined it further.

Unlike many industry events, the annual Mittia wood transportation exhibition is predominantly held outside to allow for live demonstrations of wood processing and handling equipment.

From structural analyses and operation planning to equipment installations and service personnel training, Siwertell is creating value through simulation and virtual reality .

Bruks Siwertell has identified exactly that. It has calculated – conservatively – that the global alumina industry could save US$1 billion each year by making the move from traditional systems, that is, grab cranes and pneumatics, to Siwertell screw-type unloading systems.

It has been three years in development, but Bruks Siwertell can now offer a conveying system that stands significantly apart from any others on the market, known as ‘The Belt Conveyor™
