Buhler also installed a new PORTALINO-Combi ship unloader/loader in China
Bay at the Port of Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. The owner and operator, Prima Flour
Mill, is owned by the Prima Ceylon Limited Group. The group, which has a combined milling capacity of 3,600 tonnes of
wheat per day, is among the largest flour
mill operators in Asia.
The company operates its own pier
in the Port of Trincomalee. Buhler had
previously installed two pneumatic
ship unloaders in the 1980s, each with
an unloading capacity of 250 tph.
Prima Flour Mill wanted to ship pelletized bran but needed a new loader
to accomplish this. The PORTALINOCombi is capable of unloading and loading wheat at a rate of 300 tph, and it can
load bran pellets at 250 tph. The unit
was commissioned in September 2007.
Neuero recently installed two 600-tph
pneumatic ship unloaders at a new grain
terminal in Egypt's Port of Alexandria.
Both ship unloaders have belt and scale
systems.
The company also installed a new
unloader/loader combo in Mainz, Germany, which is used to unload rapeseed
at 200 tph and load it at 150 tph.
Neuero in recent months also installed
two ship loaders, each with a capacity of
800 tph, at Russia's largest grain terminal
at the Port of Novorossiysk in the Black
Sea (see article, "Novorossiysk Grain
Terminal reaches capacity," on page 54).
VIGAN has also been very active in
2008. Its recent projects include:
* the installation of a ship unloader
with a capacity of 200 tph at the Port of
Havana in Cuba;
* installing a 600-tph capacity unloader on rubber wheels to unload Panamax vessels at the Port of Sudan;
* installing three mobile machines,
each with 220-tph capacity and one
unloader on rubber wheels (capacity 300-tph), at the Egyptian Port of
Dekheila; and
* the installation of a 250-tph ship
unloader at the Port of Chittatong in
Bangladesh.

VIGAN delivered mobile machines
in 2007 and 2008 to the Saudi Arabian
