TO overcome the disadvantages of having expensive single purpose vehicles incompletely employed. the Ketton Portland Cement Co., Ltd., working in collaboration with Bonallack and Sons, Ltd., Basildon. Essex, have evolved a tipper with a removable bulk-cement container. Thus, in one vehicle, the operator has a blown-discharge tank, a gravity-delivery tank, a tipper and a lorry entirely suitable for delivery in bags. The chassis selected by Ketton is a Comrr forward-control 7-tonner with Bonallack fixed-sid light-alloy tipping body and Telehoist tipping go The light-alloy tank has a cement-carrying capacity 8 tons and weighs 51 cwt. A mild-steel version also available, weighing 8 cwt.
The tank is supported on six feet, of which fo have locating cones that marry up with sockets the tipping-body floor. When the vehicle is operati without the container, the floor sockets are sealed I mild-steel traps. The tank is secured by male al female truncated pyramids and quick-release pins.
On the near side of the chassis, a Wellworth Ricardo piston-type Mk. IV compressor of 250 c.f.] capacity is mounted on special brackets and drivi from the gearbox power take-off. Air from the blow is introduced through a slide inside the vessel, aeratii the cement and preventing the coagulation that oft. occurs in gravity-discharge systems.
The cement then descends through a rnixii chamber where a strong blast of air forces it to ti required height. During unloading, the angle of t is progressively increased. It is claimed that the 8-U load can be discharged to a height of 60 ft. into silo in approximately 20 min. The maximum workit pressure is 10 p.s.i.
With the aid of a 1.0-cwt. hoist, the tank can I removed within five or six minutes leaving the bod 11 ft. 6 in. long, 7 ft. wide and 3 ft. high, availab for other work.
The price of the container, inclusive of the cc of blower and fitting to the &hid e, is £1,115 in mi steel and £1,220 in aluminium alloy.
