Biomass lifting

Demag Cranes has installed a fully
automated crane system at a
combined cooling, heating and
power (CCHP) plant, part of Sky’s
new 23,000m2 studio complex in
Osterley, West London.

Wood chip is delivered to the
CCHP plant by vehicles and tipped
into a sunken input area. When
sensors indicate that biomass levels
require replenishment, the Demag
Cranes system automatically lifts
biomass from the input area and
deposits it into the silo store.

Demag Cranes installed a 7.8m
span overhead travelling crane,
incorporating a DR-Pro electric wire
rope hoist, rated at 6.3 t SWL.
