CEMENT maker RMC Rugby has ordered 40 intermodal H-type ISO-Veyor units from inBulk Technologies for transporting fly ash from power stations.
The H-type is a cylindrical vessel with 34m3 capacity constructed within the dimensions of a 30ft ISO container, and can be handled and transported using the same equipment. Once it has been filled at the origin of its journey the unit remains sealed until it is delivered. It can then be discharged horizontally using an air supply and discharge pipe.
According to RMC Rugby Logistics Director Clive Oakley, ’previous intermodal units on the market had a low volume in comparison to road tankers. We approached inBulk Technologies to design and build a unit which could hold higher volumes and make road-rail transport of fly ash a more commercially viable option.’
