Project Overview
Gravel Process Plant at Denton Wharf
QPI were commissioned to supply and install all ancillary parts for J Clubb’s new Marine Sand and Gravel Process Plant at Denton Wharf, Gravesend.
The project included the supply and installation of all conveyor belting, idlers, idler frames and conveyor pulleys, supporting the plant’s wider material handling and processing requirements.
The new plant carries a bulk density of 1.6 tonnes per cubic metre at an angle of repose of 37.5°, with a maximum feed size of 230mm. The system is designed to run at a maximum capacity of 400 TPH feed to plant with the coarsest feed, reducing as necessary for finer feeds to limit feed to the sand plant to less than 210 TPH.
Design service factors were based on 10 hours per day plant operation, ensuring the supplied conveyor components and ancillary parts were aligned with the operational demands of a working marine sand and gravel processing facility.
