Mechanical Continuous Ship Unloaders

Mechanical Continuous Ship Unloaders are designed to handle a wide range of free-flowing bulk materials. The automatic sink-in system of the unloader allows the intake boot to maintain the optimal position inside the bulk material. It also enables automatic unloading down to the minimum bulk material level inside the ship’s hold.
The possible movements of:
- displacing the ship unloader
- lifting, lowering, and swiveling the boom
- kick-in/kick-out of the marine leg provide a large working range inside the ship’s hold.
These movements can also be remotely controlled by radio, increasing unloading throughputs and reducing berthing times
Advantages
- Reliable operation even when handling materials with varying characteristics
- Low sensitivity to foreign matter
- Fast changing of chain links
- Easy operation
- Proven engineering with matured mechanical elements
- Low energy consumption
- Less wear and tear
- Long service life of the conveying chains
