Drum transfer solution

The bespoke Exmac conveying and handling system is fitted inside the DTTs to enable drums to be transferred into the trailer-mounted container from an external conveyor. Drums can then be discharged from the trailer onto a similar conveying system on the Sellafield loading bay, one of which already has an Exmac conveying system.

 

The system comprises a matched pair of heavy duty slider-bed belt conveyors, each capable of handling a maximum payload of up to 6.8t of waste drums (maximum weight of an individual drum is 1.7t).
