Aggregate Infeed System
Redland Roofing Systems
Limited needed to replace an
old Aggregate handling plant
with a new , fully automated
system.
Wright Engineering designed
the PLC controlled system to
allow the operators to blend
two sands with accuracy and
flexibility.
The plant is loaded by Front
End Loader and then is
controlled fully from the plant
operators within the
production building.
The PLC system monitors
levels and conveyor speeds as
well as the automatic starting
and stopping of the plant.
The aggregate id fully
protected from the weather yet
the equipment has been
designed with ease of
maintenance in mind.
The equipment was installed
with the plant still in
production. Dry
commissioning of the plant
was carried out and then the
system changed over working
over a long weekend.
An interesting feature
designed into the equipment is
an automatic plough and
chute arrangement which
enables a bin contents to be
dumped easily, quickly and
above all safely.

the guards removed
