A ship loader is a large-scale mechanical equipment used in port terminals. Its main function is to transfer bulk cargo (such as coal, ore, grain, etc.) from the port yard or conveying system to the ship’s cargo hold to achieve efficient loading operations. It can move on the track at the front of the terminal, so that it can flexibly load ships docked at different locations.
Mobile conveyors have many advantages as ship loaders for port, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Large conveying capacity: It can meet the port’s large-scale cargo loading needs and transport more bulk cargo or piece goods per unit time. For example, some large mobile conveyors can transport thousands of tons per hour, greatly improving loading efficiency and reducing ship docking time.
Continuous conveying: Different from intermittent loading and unloading equipment such as traditional grab buckets, it can realize continuous conveying of goods, avoid interruptions during loading and unloading, make loading operations smoother, and further improve overall efficiency.
Easy to move: equipped with tires, tracks and other walking devices, it can be flexibly moved in the port terminal area, and can quickly adjust the operating position according to the ship’s berthing position and cargo stacking location, without complicated installation and disassembly, expanding the scope of operation.
Adjustable angle and height: The conveying angle and height can usually be adjusted to meet the loading operation requirements of different ship types, hatch heights and stacking heights, and accurately convey the cargo to the designated position in the cabin.
Adaptable to a variety of goods: It can convey bulk goods such as coal, ore, and grain, as well as bagged and boxed items. By changing the conveyor belt type and adjusting the conveying parameters, it can meet the conveying requirements of different cargo characteristics.
Multi-machine connection: Multiple mobile conveyors can be overlapped for conveying, and can be flexibly combined according to the actual operating conditions to further expand the conveying distance, angle and range to meet the complex loading process requirements.
Sturdy and durable: Made of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing technology, it has a sturdy frame and reliable transmission components, can withstand the harsh working environment and frequent use of the port, reduce equipment failures and maintenance times, and ensure long-term stable operation.
Mature technology: After long-term development and improvement, the design and technology of mobile conveyors are relatively mature. Many products have been widely tested in the market and have high operational reliability.
Perfect safety protection: Equipped with a variety of safety protection devices such as conveyor belt anti-deviation, slip protection, emergency stop button, guardrail, etc., to reduce the safety risk of operation and ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
Low initial investment: Compared with some large fixed port loading equipment, the purchase cost and installation and commissioning cost of mobile conveyors are relatively low, which can reduce the initial capital investment for ports.
Operating cost saving: The structure is relatively simple, maintenance work is easy to carry out, and the maintenance cost is low; at the same time, the application of energy-saving motors and transmission systems reduces energy consumption and reduces operating costs.
Efficient space utilization: When not in operation, it can be moved to designated locations such as equipment warehouses, saving operating space at port terminals, improving the utilization rate of terminal space, and indirectly reducing the operating costs of ports.
