Dear Editor,
Harvested cane at Skeldon is unloaded mechanically, with the entire punt lifted, and its contents discharged onto conveyors. The importance of this unloading procedure cannot be understated, since any malfunction would paralyze all downstream processing.
Workhorse assemblies of this type are expected to operate in solid fashion, generate some measure of confidence, and operate for many years without major overhaul.
The lift assembly at Skeldon has a halting, stop/go action, along with vibration, as it lifts the cane-filled punt. This action does not bode well for long term reliability, and it may be prudent to conduct a thorough assessment of this assembly, to verify its suitability for heavy duty operation.
Yours faithfully,
Patrick Scott
PPP scholars busy planning and building commie style.
BS, WHY COMMENT ,.. WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A CLUE, ABOUT THE SUBJECT… and for the benefit of, MR. SCOTT,.. Please be advised, that similar hydraulic mechanisms are in operation at all other sugar estates factories in guyana… we refer to them as “punt dumpers”… so if there is trouble with this particular one, then it should be fixed in due course,… NO rocket science required…
some estates still use “sling”
No rocket science required for much that is going on in GY but the PPP still screwing it up daily what are the chances they are gonna solve this one?
any bets?
BS, YOU CONTINUE TO BE A CRUEL JOKE…
