About two years ago, Cemex in the UK presented their plans to erect a new cement grinding works in the Port of Tilbury. The 1.2 million tonnes per annum plant is the only cement plant in the South East of England and will increase Cemex UK´s cement capacity by 20%.
For the transport of different bulk materials, B&W Mechanical Handling Ltd, a company of the AUMUND Group, delivered two SamsonTM receiving units to the new cement works in Tilbury.
The first machine of type SamsonTM 800 is ten metres long (holding capacity 47t, discharge at 95-300 tph) and used for the clinker transport. A second SamsonTM 800 along with a 16.0 m long transfer belt conveyor was supplied by B&W to transport limestone, gypsum and plaster-board with a holding capacity of 44t and discharges at 30-120 tph. The delivery scope also included silo discharge gates which were delivered by AUMUND Fördertechnik in Rheinberg.
The SamsonTM concept which combines a steel plate apron style conveyor with a flat cover belt, unites the benefits of a torsion-proof conveying surface with the clean operation of a belt conveyor. The uniform discharge of the material directly fed into the machine by tipping trucks results in high transfer capacities, while at the same time the low height of fall considerably cuts down the dust generation when material with a high content of fines is fed. The SamsonTM unit is capable of receiving almost any kind of bulk material directly from tipping trucks or loading shovels and enables short-time buffer storage and controlled bulk material transfer onto subsequent components of the works. Thanks to its over-ground installation, the SamsonTM represents the flexible alternative to traditional tipping points with under-floor pits.
The SamsonTM concept was developed by B&W in Ely and after the integration of the British company into the German AUMUND Group is placed on the market worldwide. Consequently, in the meantime the SamsonTM receiving units are found in use all over the world.
With a financial investment that according to Cemex approaches £ 49 million, the company set an exclamation mark in Tilbury almost three years after the 100th anniversary of its foundation. The new cement grinding and blending plant at the Port of Tilbury in Essex is to contribute primarily to cover the demand for building materials which is generated by holding the Olympic Games 2012 in London and by the continuing growth of the population in the metropolis. The investment of CEMEX, which is the biggest Mexican investor in the UK, is the largest in the UK cement industry for five years.
The new plant has the great advantage of being served by road, rail and river. While clinker currently comes in by road, Tilbury´s deep-water wharf provides the flexibility to import 30,000-tonne ship-loads. On-site barge loading facilities also enables deliveries made by river to London via a network of wharves. Fly-Ash comes into Tilbury by rail, this involves a multi-modal transport system (known as Iso-conveyors), which are a logistical and flexible alternative to traditional silos.
