General

The shiploader for bagged goods is a mobile installation on the quay with telescopic boom. The basic boom has a head lattice construction that contains the supporting rollers, the lantern gear drive and the cable pulleys of the suspension of the boom.
The telescopic part of the boom carries on the front the complete spiral chute and the hydraulic cylinder for keeping the chute in upright position.
With this loading installation, the entire ship's hold can be covered without the need to shift the ship during loading.
The loading process is done by moving the entire installation along the quay, by the telescopic movement and hoisting of the boom, by the telescopic movement of the spiral chute and by swinging of the loading head.

Inside the installation, the transport takes place in the following matter:The bags arriving on the longitudinal quay conveyor belt are taken up by a bag receiving cart, turned 90° by the round conveyor belt and via a supply conveyor belt transferred to the conveyor belt of the boom. Because the boom is telescopic, this conveyor belt inside the boom is split in 2 parts. The first part is inside the basic boom and the second part inside the telescopic boom. The telescopic distance is 12.5 m / 41 ft.
The bags are conveyed to the spiral chute on both conveyor belts of the boom. Here, they are either buffered or they continue directly to the turntable. From here, they are transferred to the loading head. The loading head consists of a double telescopic roller conveyor with a detachable conveyor belt.
