Big News: The Success of Continuous Ship Unloader

Two incessant ship unloaders are proved to be successful at Tanjung Bin, in Malaysia. During January 2004, one Japanese contractor had given ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik GmbH from St. Ingbert-Rohrbach of Germany, a contract of constructing turn-key coal usage plant in Tanjung Bin at Malaysia. This coal usage plant was used for latest power plant of 3 x 700 MW that is being built for meeting country’s frequently rising power consumption.

The range of supply as well as commissioning coal usage system incorporated three joint bucket-wheel stacking as well as reclaiming machines and absolute belt conveyor method with the advanced controlling system with two continuous ship unloader. The continuous ship unloader is specially designed for unloading the ships having around 35,000 to 150,000 DWT with unloading rate for 2,000 tons per hour.

The lofty degree of mechanization as well as usage of computer restricted unloading program or CAU (Computer Aided Unloading) facilitate the operator the monitoring as well as controlling of the unloading procedure as well as all the movements of machine through the cabin located next to bucket elevator, with video-supported system to perform unloading operations. The radio controlling can be utilized for adjusting as well as coordinating the movements with processes. Every shiploader is prepared with the additional hopper, making sure that the constant feed to belt conveyors, having volume flowing rate being adaptable.

Through using foot adjustments with bucket elevators on continuous ship unloader, an operator may easily pursue movements both for material having unloaded as well as vessel itself with the intention that any required adjustments may be done quickly as well as efficiently. Any new component for instance, a rotary feeding table, is successfully incorporated into continuous ship unloader system that makes sure continuous substance discharge at bucket elevator, whereas at same time serving to reduce general height to the minimum.

Because of another innovation called angled receiving tube – this is possible for reaching areas under hatches very easily as well as getting into walls in holding of the bigger ships previously early on with unloading operations. Next, the conclusion of fabrication as well as design, both the continuous ship unloader was transported into the final destination someplace the required commissioning activities started as soon as machines were offloaded. The demanding training was performed separately with installation work with the intention of preparing operators in handling of a machine as well as the impending unloading tests.

Any continuous ship unloader had to deliver the proper tonnage in the pre-determined stage of time through the designated vessel with the purpose of obtaining acceptance from buyer. While doing that, the Steel Mill Duty Cranes confirmed their capability of fulfilling the required requirements having regard of their maximum unloading capability, their capacity to unload in the pre-determined stage with also unloading the whole vessel. This three bucket wheeled stacking as well as retrieved machines and the controlling system with belt conveyor structure has unloading speed of around 2,000 tons every hour. Every shiploader is well equipped with the bonus hopper, making sure nonstop feed to belt conveyors, having volume flow rate adjusted.
