11/10/10: New Large Capacity RazerTail® Truck Unloader Improves Cycle Times

For Immediate Release

Morris, MN – Superior Industries, a leading manufacturer of conveyor systems and components, introduces a new addition to the company’s line of RazerTail Truck Unloaders. The extra-large capacity addition is available with a 72-inch-wide by 75-feet and 6-inch-long belt. The unit is engineered to transfer up to 1650 STPF of 100 PCF material from a haul truck.

Engineered to handle material up to 8-inch-minus, the new large capacity RazerTail truck unloader features a deeper hopper and an 8-foot-6-inch grate with a larger 9-foot x 9-foot grate opening. The unit also features a hydraulically-raised conveyor and optional self-cleaning ramps.

Requiring only 44-inch earthen ramps, the large capacity machine reduces the labor and costs associated with conventional truck unloaders. Importantly, RazerTail truck unloaders deliver significant cost-per-ton savings by improving cycle times, minimizing loader use and eliminating any extra handling of material. Minimizing or eliminating loader use, operators realize substantial savings in labor, fuel and maintenance – while ensuring greater product quality and a safer jobsite by eliminating the traffic congestion caused by multiple trucks and loaders.

Note that when a RazerTail truck unloader is used in combination with TeleStacker® Conveyors (an automated telescoping radial stacker), operators realize an even greater payback in product quality control and cost-per-ton savings. TeleStacker conveyors ensure stockpile quality by building a desegregated stockpile and preventing the compaction or contamination typically seen when using trucks or loaders to build stockpiles.

In addition to the new large capacity RazerTail truck unloader, the series also includes a low-profile model with a 72-inch belt and only a 22-inch earth ramp requirement; and a 48-inch belt model with a 32-inch earth ramp requirement. The latter unit is also available in an adjustable height discharge model.
