Superior Industries, Inc. has completed design and manufacturing work on what they're considering to be the world's largest telescopic radial stacking conveyor.
The brand-new TeleStacker conveyor model is a 48-inch-wide by 210-feet-long telescoping conveyor (1220mm x 64m). It's capable of building 425,000-ton stockpiles (315,000 cubic yards). Superior says the record-breaking stacker will be used to unload dry bulk ships along the Atlantic Coast in Florida.
Operators at the port will take advantage of the TeleStacker Conveyor's PilePro automation. This system automatically controls the stacker's actions while building partially or fully-desegregated stockpiles. Some popular features include pile volume reporting, maintenance triggers and diagnostics screens.
In 2022, Superior is celebrating 25 years of manufacturing its TeleStacker conveyor.
