Hello robbins,

Nice model, but what is exactly a SUF unloader ? For grains ?

 

Kind regards, hubert

HI hubeRT,  the suf was formerly managed by the port of blyth on behalf of the RIO tinto mining company to unload aluminium for use in the alcan smelter, I assume in the form of pellets,but , since the alcan closed I d o not know what  they use it for . Close up it is one very large impressive  piece of kit and there are some great pics on the Internet 

Best regards robbins
