Trailer Docking Station (TDS)

Functional Description

The TDS is the industrial answer to receiving treated materials from walking floor trucks. Optional hydraulic systems allow a trailer to be left connected to the TDS while the truck pulls away, thereby making the walking floor trailer an automatic material buffer or storage device. As material is slowly emptied from the trailer into the reception area, an active bottom feeder conveys the material into a chain conveyor, and then into the intended process. A double docking station would maximize productivity by allowing continuous feed of material. The TDS requires no civil engineering and no pit, making it a very easy and economical solution for receiving material from a trailer. The TDS is capable of receiving most treated materials used in burning alternative fuels.
