BIOMASS TARPING SYSTEM
Campbell Fuel Oils, Kilmarnock
Campbell Fuel Oils (CFO) a family run business in Kilmarnock, South West Scotland operate two fuel filling stations supplying and distributing fuel. CFO serves domestic, industrial and agricultural customers across South West Scotland with services including boiler installs/servicing and domestic heating oil tanks. CFO also distributes all fuel types from oil, petrol and coal to renewable energy sources such as wood pellets, wood chip and fire logs.
CFO creates its own electricity for powering their Headquarters with the burning of Biomass in the form of wood chippings. Alistair Campbell faced a problem when it came to storing the chippings in his large concrete bins, “How do I cover the bins from the elements while still having the ability to open up the top for refilling purposes?”
After seeing a tipper wagon enter his site using a Slide N Cover tarping system, Alistair thought the same concept could be used for his wood chip bins. The other alternatives were costly and time consuming.
Once dimensions of the bins were calculated our Tarp Team set to work, producing a bespoke tarping system that could be easily installed by the customer at site. Ensuring the wood chippings were going to be kept warm and dry. This was achieved using a 630GSM PVC Vinyl tarp, supple enough to allow regular opening, but with enough tensile strength to withtand the harsh environment. The Slide N Cover tarping system kit provides the mechanism for the tarp to fold up out of harm’s way for loading, before been closed for storage.
Alistair added “with the need to fill the bins up at least once a week, the Slide ‘N’ Cover tarping system was ideal. It was installed by myself at ease, and purchased for a very reasonable price. The manually operated system is not only incredibly easy to use, but it also eliminates the danger of climbing ladders as the system is operated from ground level.”
CFO have since ordered two more Slide ‘N’ Cover tarping systems for further Biomass bins.
