At the end of March, Agrivert Ltd
of Chipping
Norton, Oxfordshire took
delivery of their first three D-TEC tank trailers. Agrivert purchased these
three tank trailers specifically for the transportation of digestate substrate
from their biogas installations.
Agrivert Ltd
is an established market leader within the organic waste recycling market and currently
operates three Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facilities, two In-Vessel-Composting
plants and a further three Open Windrow
Composting sites. The three D-TEC tank trailers will be used for the transportation
of the biogas digestate to both storage lagoons and field spreading operations.
The tank trailers will also support service contracts delivering liquid waste
products into the AD plants.
"After looking
at all the various options within the U.K trailer market, we decided that the
D-TEC tank trailer concept delivered both a low tare weight, impressive loading
and unloading times, tempered with a typically Dutch build and engineering
quality. The D-TEC concept is fully focused on efficient deployment within the
biogas chain. Optimising the efficiency of all operations has become
increasingly important. The D-TEC trailers are fitted with the D-TEC front and
rear axle steering system which is ideal for manoeuvring in restricted areas
often found in farmyards and spreading operations" comments Neil Pollington,
Operation Manager for Agrivert Ltd.
D-TEC have
been supplying specialist tank trailers within the Dutch market since 1987, specifically
designed for liquid waste and manure transport operations. Due to the limited
space on Dutch farmyards, steered vehicles have been produced from the outset.
There has always been a particular focus on a low tare-weight, low maintenance
costs, and a high trade-in value, coupled with a high degree of technical
continuity. Gerrit Van Vlastuin, the
owner of D-TEC, comments: "Thanks to the continuing phased optimisation,
today we can say that we really have reached the top in production quality and
customer service."
Demo Day on 24th April
Successful demonstration day on 24 April Together with Agrivert, D-TEC organised a demonstration
day on 24 April last in Cassington, England. Agrivert's three tank trailers
were used for a live demonstration of among other things efficient loading and
unloading with a D-TEC tank trailer
