Ship-to-silo Unloaders

Ship-to-silo Unloaders

Ship-to-silo unloaders

The Ship-to-silo unloaders only require a pipeline connection to handle the entire conveying process from ship to store. All our configurations are available with a manipulator arm for open hatch (option 1) unloading or delivered with a flexible hose connection for closed hatch (option 2) unloading. The closed hatch unloading option can only be used with a fluidized floor vessel and can be operational in any weather condition.

The following configurations are available for ship-to-silo unloaders:

System Configurations

Road Mobile Ship unloader

The Ship-to-Silo Road mobile unloader is designed as a road legal unit and can be easily transported to various ports and terminals. One unloader to service multiple ports and terminals for unloading (open hatch) barges and ships up to 7.000 DWT. Due to its road mobility the utilisation rate of the road mobile unloader can be very high, driving the investment costs per ton to a minimum. Permit may be required for movement over public roads, per local law.

KEY BENEFITS
  • Compact unit for easy movement

  • Multiple terminals with unloading operations

  • Automated

  • Continuous material flow

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Max. Vessel Size:            Up to 7.000 DWT
Max. Convey Capacity:   Up to 205 TPH

Max. Vessel Size:
Up to 7.000 DWT

Max. Convey Capacity:
Up to 205 TPH

Dock mobile ship unloader

The Ship-to-Silo Unloader Dock Mobile type only requires a pipeline connection to handle the entire conveying process from ship to storage. This Ship unloader configuration can easily move on the dock site or stored when not in use. Tires are used to move the unloader, so no obstacles are located on the dock.  This enables it to work in practically any type of dock environment. The pipeline may run below at or above ground level. The unloader also functions with removable pipeline sections

KEY BENEFITS
  • Shared dock space.

  • Dock must remain free of obstacles such as rails or conveyor belts

  • Automated

  • Continuous material flow

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Max. Vessel Size:            Up to 40.000 DWT
Max. Convey Capacity:   Up to 360 TPH

Max. Vessel Size:
Up to 40.000 DWT

Max. Convey Capacity:
Up to 360 TPH

Gantry mobile ship unloader

The Ship-to-Silo Unloader Gantry Mobile type only requires a pipeline connection to handle the entire conveying process from ship to storage. This Ship unloader configuration is ideal for dedicated operations with available shore power. Especially with an existing infrastructure (rails) will save investment costs. The pipeline may run below at or above ground level. The unloader also functions with removable pipeline sections.

KEY BENEFITS
  • Dedicated jetty

  • Existing rails

  • Automated

  • Continuous material flow

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Max. Vessel Size:            Up to 40.000 DWT
Max. Convey Capacity:   Up to 360 TPH

Max. Vessel Size:
Up to 40.000 DWT

Max. Convey Capacity:
Up to 360 TPH

Barge mounted ship unloader

The Ship-to-silo Unloader Barge Mounted type is ideal for unloading locations with large tidal differences as this require minimum required length of the manipulator arm when unloading open hatch (option 1) ships or barges. When ships cannot reach the dockside, unloading closed hatch (option 2) ships or barges with integrated fluidized floor system through a flexible (floating) hose connection, would be a solution. The closed hatch option can be operational in any weather condition and is advisable for high humidity or monsoons regions. The barge mounted ship unloader can also be used at multiple terminals, as the complete unit can be towed to another unloading location.

KEY BENEFITS
  • Large tidal differences

  • Multiple terminals with unloading operations

  • Automated

  • Continuous material flow

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Max. Vessel Size:            Up to 10.000 DWT
Max. Convey Capacity:   Up to 200 TPH

Max. Vessel Size:
Up to 10.000 DWT

Max. Convey Capacity:
Up to 200 TPH

Stationary Ship Unloader 

The Stationary Ship-to-silo Unloaders is a cost-effective configuration, as no propulsion system is required. This type of unloader only requires a pipeline connection to handle the entire conveying process from ship to storage. This enables it to work on a dock with limited space.

KEY BENEFITS
  • Limited space available on dock

  • Barges and ships can easily move alongside the dock

  • Automated

  • Continuous material flow

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Max. Vessel Size:            Up to 40.000 DWT
Max. Convey Capacity:   Up to 360 TPH

Max. Vessel Size:
Up to 40.000 DWT

Max. Convey Capacity:
Up to 360 TPH
