Global Suppliers l bal Su l 42 Bioenergy International No 78, 2-2015 Following their strategic partnership, biomass combustion and bulk materials handling firm Saxlund International, together with Axis Industries have announced two new biomass combustion projects to deliver combined heat and power (CHP) for customers in Estonia and Lithuania valued at EUR 78 million. Under the agreement, Axis Industries will be responsible for full turnkey project delivery covering design, installation and commissioning and incorporating licenced technology from Saxlund International including furnaces, turbines and materials handling, together with flue gas condensation and cleaning. The first project for Danpower Baltic, a joint venture between Danpower GmbH and Geco Investicijos, will provide a 5 MW electric CHP, burning wood chip from renewable timber, to provide electricity and heat to the municipality of Kaunas in Lithuania. At Tallinn in Estonia, a larger project for energy company Utilitas will deliver a 21.4 MW electric CHP burning both virgin wood chip mixed with up to 30 percent peat. The new plant will supply some 20 percent of the total heat demand to Tallinn municipality, as well as power to the grid, and incorporates three Saxlund 25 MW thermal furnaces. Both projects are due to be commissioned in 2016 with an expected return on investment in five years. BI78/4819/AS The new discharge conveyor option for Beast XP-Series Recyclers provides both a 30-foot-discharge conveyor and a thrower, so operators can load both open top and end-loading trailers. The 30-foot conveyor acts like a standard discharge on the Beast – providing a tall platform to pile mulch, chips, or other products or load them in opentop trucks. But with the thrower, operators can easily broadcast the end product across a jobsite or load open-end trailers quickly and efficiently. – This is a unique option. No one in the industry has such a device,” said Bandit Industries President Jerry Morey. According to Bandit the switch from discharge conveyor to the thrower is quick, taking less than a minute. The 30-foot-discharge conveyor is a two-section discharge. When the thrower is operated, the end section of the discharge folds up over the top of the first conveyor and out of the way. The thrower is then hydraulically tilted into position. When the thrower is in place, material is top-loaded into the thrower and discharged at tremendous velocity. When in use, the thrower is adjustable up-and-down, and can swivel side-to-side to direct the flow of material to fully load chip trailers.
