Bonjour Toulouse

This week I had the opportunity to browse through our "archive" and was amazed at how much our guys and gals at STORK have experienced, recycled or made possible over the past almost 30 years.

So today we are starting a new series in which we want to introduce you to special, unusual, large, small, current, past, regional or far-flung STORK projects from almost 30 years of company history and review them with you. We want to start with something very special from 2014.

On August 4, 2014 at 6.00 a.m., the convoy set off from Magdeburg - a truck with the processing plant, a truck with a wheel loader and a skip loader that transported the screening machine as well as a Sprinter. 54 hours, 1,559 kilometers and a flat tire later, the destination was reached. Toulouse, the fourth largest city in France and the new location of a mobile slag processing plant from STORK.

During the approximately 6-week campaign, a tonnage of 6,034.16 tons was fed into the plant and processed. During this period, our employees were on site every 10 days, feeding the screening plant with bottom ash from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., checking the material quality, looking after and maintaining the entire plant and coordinating the collection of the material. These were full working days and the French work mentality increased the level of difficulty even more. After 2 p.m. it was closing time, and if the truck wasn't ready by then, there was nothing more to be done. Nevertheless, it was a successful and interesting experience. In addition to good cheese and wine, Toulouse with its proximity to the Mediterranean is probably not such a bad place to work and maybe we'll come back sometime.
