Superior Industries Inc has manufactured a 210 ft (64 m) road-portable telescoping radial stacking conveyor. The TeleStacker® Conveyor was designed and built for a frac sand operation in Texas, US, and is the longest one of its kind.
The conveyor has a stockpiling capacity of 400 000 US t. According to Superior, the company’s solution is less than half the cost of a fixed or stationary tripper conveyor with the same capacity.
In addition to high capacity frac sand applications, operations that may benefit from a longer unit include sites that need to build inventory with large tonnage stockpiles and shipload applications. The telescopic conveyor will fill a vessel hold more completely than shorter models.
