ASTAINLESS STEEL tank, insulated and enclosed within an aluminium .skin, is being used for the bulk transport of refined sugar by Mb. Keyzer, Zaandam, Holland. The tank has a capacity of 15-16 tons and is mounted on a Netam tandem-axled semi-trailer. The tractor is a 150 b.h.p. Leyland Super Beaver, with fully automatic transmission, assembled and supplied by Leyland Holland N.V.
The load enters the tank through a manhole at the front, with the tank in the tipped position below a silo. Tipping is by twin hydraulic rams, and four hydraulic legs support the semi-trailer. Power for these operations is supplied by a small petrol engine mounted amidships on the semi-trailer.
Unloading is carried out at an angle of 38° through a manually operated valve at the rear of the tank. The sugar passes through a tubular shaft into a special storage tank kept at each unloading point. The system replaces a costly method of delivering sugar in 110-1b. bags.
