Award Winners! Logistics Optimisation Innovators of the Year for Transport 2019

Schenck Process, a global provider of bulk material handling systems, has proudly seen its UK site awarded with Logistics Optimisation Innovator of the Year for Transport 2019, by SME News. The announcement comes not long after Schenck Process was re-accredited by the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS), for solutions supplied to the UK Rail Network. A prestigious accreditation that acknowledges their safe and trusted supply of rail solutions. Helping acquire these recent achievements, are the Schenck Process Rail Sanding and Weighing systems. The re-filling of sand boxes or hoppers on trains and trams is an important process to ensure the correct operation of the vehicle’s braking system and to assist with wheel traction, when tracks are slippery. For safer transport and more efficient handling, Schenck Process developed both fixed and mobile sand handling systems. These systems are engineered to address problems associated with sand box filling within the rail and tram industry, which too commonly include manual handling of sand bags. This often results in material spillage, unnecessary labour and an inefficient material handling process. The Schenck Process MULTIRAIL SandPiper static or mobile sand filling stations instead provide a flexible, non-spill, dust free system, which are simple to operate, reduce manual handling significantly, as well as prevent material spillage. The systems pneumatically and efficiently pump sand from a hopper location into the sand box on the train or tram. For precise weighing of an entire train or rail-wagons during transport, Schenck Process’s MULTIRAIL technology offers solutions that help make rail transport processes safe, accurate, economical and controlled. With the intension to help prevent track derailment, the train weighing solutions from Schenck Process include track-based systems that measure a train’s load, for safer transport and accurate measurement. In addition to this, they also provide recognition of any wheel damage. The rail weight solutions from Schenck Process also help allow and compile legal-for-trade weight data as the basis for calculating the weight of individual wagons and trains. Software solutions can be used as a stand-alone solution or as an integrated application. Schenck Process is a global and trusted supplier of bulk handling industrial equipment, who support a variety of sectors including Food, Chemicals, Plastics and Pharmaceuticals.
