Ship loading equipment is a large continuous loading machine, which is mainly used to transport grain and bagged materials in ports or docks.

With the development of trade globalization, shipping equipment has become crucial. It can complete the loading and unloading of materials in a short time.

What do you know about loading equipment? Next, I will take you to understand the relevant content.

What is loading equipment?

The ship loader is mainly used for loading bulk materials at the wharf. The ship loader is composed of boom belt conveyor, transition belt conveyor, telescopic chute, tail car, running gear, gantry, tower, pitching device, slewing device, etc.

Large port bulk loading equipment plays an important role in the high-speed, stable, efficient and rolling development of energy, power, metallurgy, ports and other industries, especially some bulk distribution centers.

Ship loader is usually used for continuous loading operation. Therefore, there must be supporting equipment to provide continuous material flow so that the ship loader can load continuously.

What are the classifications of shipping equipment?

The ship loading equipment can be divided into radial expansion ship loader, truck unloader, direct feeding ship loader, Rail type telescopic ship loader.

radial expansion ship loader

Radial telescopic ship loader can move freely and has strong flexibility. Its use can reduce the labor force of operators. The operator can transport multiple bins at one feeding port at a certain position, and the whole process is closed, reducing the time for changing bins and improving production efficiency.

The use of radial telescopic loaders has the following advantages:

  • l Closed transportation of materials to reduce the pollution of dust to the environment
  • l Loading rate up to 3000 tph
  • l The expansion length is up to 190 feet, with good flexibility
  • l The base is equipped with a driving wheel, which can move flexibly and move to other places when not in use

truck unloader

The truck loads the transported materials into the material conveyor, and then the materials are transported to the cabin by the material conveyor. The mobile truck unloader allows the operator to load the vessel directly from the dump truck to avoid re handling the material on the dock.Direct use of truck unloaders allows operators to reduce loading time to maximize productivity and minimize labor and maintenance costs.

The use of truck unloader has the following advantages:

  • l Low investment and reduced on-site requirements
  • l Suitable for loading and unloading of all application trucks
  • l The radial boom length option can provide maximum flexibility when leveling the cabin
  • l Loading rate up to 1500 tph

direct feeding ship loader

The mobile direct feeding ship loader allows the operator to directly feed the ship from the wheel loader at the port or inland wharf to avoid the material on the wharf being repeatedly processed. Only one unit is used for loading and unloading, which helps to reduce loading time, maximize productivity and reduce labor and cost.

The use of direct feeding ship loader has the following advantages:

  • Loading rate up to 1500 tph
  • l Low input and low site land requirements
  • l High flexibility, low operation cost and easy maintenance
  • l Fuel cost can be reduced by up to 75%

Rail type telescopic ship loader

The rail telescopic ship loader uses the rail as the moving route of the whole machine and has the telescopic function. The rail mobile ship loader can be used for loading and unloading operations of various types of material ships.

The use of rail telescopic ship loader has the following advantages:

  •  Strong loading capacity, with a loading capacity of 3000 t/h
  • l Strong adaptability, the ship loader is equipped with hydraulic lifting and expansion devices, and the loading point can be adjusted freely
  • l Low cost, convenient operation, remote control operation by radio, single person can complete the operation
  • l Ship loader adopts sealed transportation to reduce environmental pollution
  • l Small floor area

The ship loading equipment has high flexibility. It can directly unload trucks onto ships at ports or terminals, which can maximize productivity and reduce labor. Select the appropriate type of loading and unloading equipment according to the loading and unloading requirements.
