Harvesting crane benefits
November 1st 2009

A specialist bale handling crane system has been installed by Demag Cranes & Components at Drax Power's new biomass processing facility at Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire. The plant processes straw into fuel pellets for co-firing with coal. Demag installed a 29m span, double girder, automatic crane system, rated at 22t SWL. Mounted on the crane is a specialist 12t bale handling grab unit.

Each day up to 400t of raw straw bales are unloaded from delivery lorries by the Demag crane, with operator control via a user friendly, remote controlled joystick. The system unloads 12 straw bales, with a total weight of 8t, per lift. Then, if moisture levels in the bales are acceptable, the crane switches to automatic mode and deposits them within the 1700m2 storage area to a positioning accuracy of 15mm.
