The
selection of a particular system depends not only on the material to be
handled, but also on the actual conditions to be encountered on site.
Shiploaders and unloaders are the centrepieces of today's modern terminals
where they ensure accurate, rational and sensitive movement of materials.
Shiploaders:
All
around the world, sea-going and coastal ships are constantly being loaded
with coal, ore, bauxite, alumina, fertilizers, phosphates, sulphur as well
as many other bulk materials. ThyssenKrupp shiploaders
for all capacity ranges and areas of application permit the selection of
economic systems: travelling shiploaders with slewing and luffing booms,
radial travelling with a fixed pivot point, combined shiploader/stacker
and various other
customized, special designs.
Ship-unloaders:
ThyssenKrupp
ship unloaders for
ocean-going and inland waterway vessels are built in different designs and
either as grab-type or continuous unloaders. The offloading of high
density bulk goods and heavy loose goods at fast flow rates is the
classical domain of the grab crane. The majority of applications call for
the gantry-type of cranes. ThyssenKrupp gantry grabs achieve throughputs of up to
5,100 t/h in ore and 4,200 t/h in coal, with grab payloads of up to 85
tonnes. Slewing and luffing cranes are frequently employed for smaller
capacities, especially when the nature of goods varies widely and a high
level of flexibility is required. Continuous unloading systems are
increasingly entering into the medium-to-large capacity range for
unloading bulk materials. ThyssenKrupp has developed the self-digging
"L-type" bucket elevator for effective, dust-free and almost
noiseless unloading of coal, ores, phosphates, sulphur, fertilizers and
even products such as sticky raw sugar. A further step in the development
was the commissioning of continuous ship unloaders for inland vessels.
Complete
Terminals:
ThyssenKrupp
offers a whole range of economic terminal designs
for the handling of coal and ore, bauxite and cement, limestone, sulphur
and potash, as well as for boxed goods, loose goods and containers.
Depending upon the type of material concerned, the terminals are built
with buffer stores, stockyards and stockpile areas, stackers, bucket wheel
reclaimers and /or blending equipment, belt conveying systems, wagon or
truck loading facilities, as well as ship loading and unloading
facilities. ThyssenKrupp also modernises, converts and extends existing systems
to new standards of output and efficiency.
