Rapid Loading System inaugurated at JSPL’s Barbil unit

Keonjhar: In a bid to increase the efficiency of its material handling, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL) has installed a Rapid Loading System at its Pelletization Complex, Barbil.

The system was inaugurated by General Manager of South Eastern Railway SN Agrawal on Friday in presence of DRM (Chakradharpur) Rajendra Prasad and President & Unit Head, JSPL Barbil T.S Shanbhogue.

The Rapid Loading System will improve the material handling capacity of JSPL by accelerating the rake loading speed.

“The Rapid Loading System of 48000 MT per day will enhance JSPL’s efficiency of handling raw material and product despatch. The increased efficiency will also help in saving cost and time, thus boosting overall competence of JSPL,” said TS Shanbhogue.

With this new Rapid Loading System, the time for rake loading will be reduced by one-third. Instead of three hours, one rake can be loaded in just one hour only. The system is more environment-friendly and will help in managing to overload.

On the occasion, Vice President VCS Rao, AVP (Logistics) GB Mishra, AVP (HR) Alok Malhotra, AVP (Electrical) RK Mohanty, AVP (Finance) Manas Dash and other senior officials of South Eastern Railway and JSPL were present.

JSPL has established the biggest pellet making complex at Barbil. It consists two units of 4.5 MTPA capacity each.
