Bruks Siwertell Group aims to set the sustainability standard for the industries that it serves, and integral to that is its personnel. Building on the success of last year’s voluntary health challenge, this year’s wellbeing support saw 19 teams pull together to encourage each other during a friendly, six-week health boost.

Service is pivotal to Bruks Siwertell, with support offered through on demand, emergency, and effective, planned maintenance, tailored to suit. This ensures that customers and operators have access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) expertise, for the lifetime of their equipment.

Operators understand the importance of maintenance, but the responsibility for thousands of rollers beneath the conveyor belt is quite a task; eliminating them can reduce maintenance burdens and the risk of friction fires, explains Zack Hood, Manager Conveyor Projects, Bruks Siwertell.

A collaborative project with Lund University’s student-run consultancy, Lunicore, has highlighted new ways of thinking, revealed potential new environmental gains from further implementing existing Bruks Siwertell digital technology, and more widely impacted how companies, such as Bruks Siwertell, can better engage with students.

To meet demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), new types of manufacturing plant and very high-capacity wood-processing technology will be needed for the task; fortunately, Bruks Siwertell is on hand with the expertise already. Within the broad scope of changes to be implemented to achieve decarbonization targets, there are a number of so-called ‘hard-to-decarbonize’ sectors. Prominent candidates, among others, are cement and steel production, and aviation.

Since 1974, Siwertell screw-type unloaders have offered the cleanest and most efficient dry bulk unloading operations available, along with very high capacities; this impressive legacy is reinforced by the market’s growing demands for increased efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

Building-back America continues to place significant capacity demands on US cement importers, and with new carbon tariffs on the horizon, selecting a ship unloading system that protects the environment, and offers flexibility, is a wise choice.

It may come as no surprise that fossil fuels continue their energy market dominance, accounting for around 80 percent of total primary energy supply, according to the World Bioenergy Association report, Global Bioenergy Statistics 2022. However, little by little, around 0.9 percent in fact over the previous year, renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are encroaching on this domination.

Siwertell technology has revolutionized the dry bulk handling industry, with unmatched capacity, environmental credentials and through-ship performance; Jonas Fack, President of Bruks Siwertell AB, explains how it is keeping its market-setting pace. For fifty years the Siwertell brand has been synonymous with the dry bulk handling market. Established in 1974 to develop continuous, efficient, enclosed ship unloading equipment, the Siwertell brand is now part of the Bruks Siwertell Group.

Bruks Siwertell Group has a target to bring the amount of waste generated in its global business units to zero by 2030. A round-up of current waste-reduction strategies from across its units shows progress. Going forward, continuing education programs for personnel, good collaborations with specialist waste contractors, and the establishment of KPIs so that progress is measurable and effective, are high on the agenda.
