BULK MATERIAL HANDLING & TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
Rapid Loading/Unloading

Roberts & Schaefer Company (R&S) designed and installed the first rail car flood loading system in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming over 30 years ago. Since then, batch-weigh technology has refined the systems, optimised weight accuracy, and maximised the speed of loading.

We have been a part of these advancements, applying this new and continually improving technology to a broad range of facilities operating at loading rates exceeding 9,000 tph. As demurrage times decreased, rotary rail and other rapid-discharge car dump systems become mandatory, as well as sophisticated truck loading and unloading. Barge loading and unloading systems further expand the ability to address the varying requirements.

The facilities below show our "Full Service" capabilities and help to define our credentials and breadth of experience.
