Mechanical Barge Loaders

Mechanical Barge Loaders

Mechanical Barge Loadersare ship loaders that are distinguished by their high flexibility. The combination of the ship loaders capability of travelling along the ships side, the vertical boom motions and the kick-in/kick-out technique of the loading spout allow an ideal loading of a wide variety of ship types and sizes.

Typically, Mechanical Barge Loaders are designed for vessels of 5000 tonnes capacity, the mechanical barge and coaster unloader supplied has a round suction nozzle which sucks the product into the hold, allowing to reach the maximum capacity in full heap of grain with a guaranteed minimum breakage.

Depending on the products discharged, the rate reaches 400 tonnes per hour for wheat, corn or barley.

The rail-mounted gantry is moving along the quay, and supports all unloading equipment: an electric transformer group, the cabin with turbo-blowers, the unloading tower, the cable reels for power and control and a manual rail clamps (for securing the device in a parking position).
