Trailer Docking Station
WTW Americas Trailer Docking Station
The WTW Americas Trailer Docking Station (TDS) is a modular design with small dimensions, which requires minimal site prep, no pit, and no underground hopper. It is easy to install and a functional and economical solution for unloading trucks with walking floor trailers which typical carry bulk materials such as wood chips, sawdust, wood waste, alternative fuels, RDF, Fluff, Municipal solid wastes, and many other lighter density fuels. A double docking station alternative with two reception units allows either simultaneous discharge of two trailers or interruption free in-feed.
Bulk material is pushed directly out of the trailer into the docking station. Live bottom screws located in the bottom of the TDS convey the material to an elevating chain conveyor. The chain conveyor brings the material up to a manageable height, or directly into a feeder.
If required, TDS can be provided in high degree dust-free execution. A stationary hydraulic power pack is also available to decouple the semi-trailer from the truck and to be able to empty it autonomously, thus using the trailer as a small storage silo.
WTW’s TDS in used in a wide variety of industries including alternative fuels, woodchips, wood waste, gypsum, and other light density materials
