Sandvik Mining and Construction has signed an agreement with the energy company RWE Power AG in the Netherlands for a turnkey materials-handling system.
The value of the order is approximately 650 MSEK and comprises a complete materials-handling system for the Eemshaven Power Plant in the Netherlands.
The project includes two grab-type ship unloaders, two stackers and three portal reclaimers. In addition to the mobile equipment, Sandvik will deliver a high-performance conveyor system with 38 conveyors for coal, which is also suitable for biomass. For environmental reasons, the conveyors will be enclosed using a state-of-the-art chute design.
Mr Lars Josefsson President of Sandvik Mining and Construction said "This order confirms Sandvik's strong customer offering and demonstrates our capabilities of providing excellent technical solutions based on Sandvik's vast experience in designing and supporting complete materials-handling systems.”
