Sandvik will supply eight Rotoform HS (high speed) steel-belt-based pastillators, plus conveying, storage and loading facilities. Start-up is scheduled for February 2008. This is the biggest single order for the Rotoform HS pastillation system since its launch in September 2005. Rotoform HS provides twice the capacity of the Rotoform 3000 pastillator on which it is based. The key improvement is an increase in the diameter of the “shell” that deposits the molten sulfur on the belt from 80 mm to 250 mm. By reducing the centrifugal force on the droplets, this allows the Rotoform HS to run at higher speeds while still delivering well-shaped pastilles. Other key features of the Rotoform HS are the ability to deliver product conforming to the widely-accepted Sulphur Development Institute of Canada (SUDIC) specification, low hydrogen sulfide emissions, and a low offloading temperature for the solidified sulfur.
