S40 AND LEVEL SANDS STRETCH FAR AWAY
If you are anxious to have high quality tourist beaches, but those beaches are on the world's busiest shipping lane, you need a very efficient, cost-effective, beach cleaning strategy.
Three years ago SISIS supplied S50 beach cleaners for use on Labuan, an island off the coast of Malaysia. They have given good service, and last year when the Malaysian Government decided to upgrade the quality of some of their other beaches, SISIS were well placed to challenge for the tender. After much hard work by Maniam, Anthony Aru and the rest of the team at our Malaysian Distributor RS Machineries the order was won for 16 SISIS S40 beach cleaners, SISIS Equipment's largest-ever single order, and worth in excess of £1/4m.
The S40 was chosen for its ability to remove debris from on, and just below, the surface, its durability, and its ability to collect a wide variety of different debris. The design of the S40 is such that all the surface, to a pre-set depth, is removed and filtered through a moving "trace" system before the clean sand is returned to the beach. The debris is retained in the hi-tip hopper to be tipped directly into lorries and taken away.
The S40s will be used at 12 different locations around Peninsular Malaysia, many of them on the Malacca Straits, the busiest shipping lane in the world. Debris here is very varied and includes organic waste, glass bottles, plastic, discarded clothing, coconuts, seaweed, drift wood and tar balls. Another serious problem is the tropical creeping grasses which can appear almost overnight and spread so quickly that the beach gets smaller and smaller. The "digging" action of the S40 rips out the weed and reclaims the beach.
Such a large order (and for physically large machinery) placed quite a strain on the SISIS Production and Despatch departments, but the staff responded in their usual flexible and enthusiastic manner to meet the deadline.
In early July Export Manager David Harrison and demonstrator John Ashton flew out to Port Dickson to install the beach cleaners and train the 50 operators, managers and mechanics who will operate the fleet, to keep some of the world's most beautiful beaches debris-free.
SISIS beach cleaners are also used in Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Taiwan and Finland. A modified version of the beach cleaner can also be used for land clearance when constructing golf courses and sports fields.
RS Machineries have been SISIS distributors for 11 years and have achieved unrivalled success in placing SISIS Hydromain, 321D and 211D systems with sports stadia, playing fields and golf courses all around Malaysia - unsurprisingly, RS Machineries is "SISIS Export Distributor of the Year 2002".
