Description JSW Salem achieves operational efficiency and saves cost with Metso Wagon Tippler solutionsBy using Metso’s material handling solutions, JSW Salem is saving at least 1 km of space and achieving operational precision with speed and safety. Metso’s in-house design capabilities, backed by more than 100 years of experience, enabled it to deliver to JSW a tailor-made wagon tippling solution. The RDSO G33 (Rev. 1) compliant C-frame wagon tippler with shifter mechanism saved JSW huge costs and land, as there wasn’t enough space at the outhaul to handle a rake of empty wagons. And a wheel-gripper to hold the rake, after being decoupled from the engine, solved the issue of the high gradient at the site. Operational challenges – changing the norms The automated circuit not only reduced human intervention, it also made the site safer. Extensive programming on the safety interlocks ensured that all unexpected scenarios were covered and that there would be zero incidents recorded at the site. This technologically advanced and cutting-edge solution resulted in continuous tippling operations of 25 wagons per hour, thus reducing railway demurrages and achieving operational efficiency for JSW Salem. Mr. BNS Prakash Rao, Senior Vice President & Plant Head, JSW Salem, shared, “The relationship between JSW Salem and Metso started in 2011 with an order for a wagon tippler. Since installation of the wagon tippler, the operations have been smooth. There has been a substantial reduction in railway demurrages and improved operational efficiency. Metso and its experienced technical team... |
