Conveying Line
The conveying line starts at the quay belt conveyor. The material will be than conveyed into an elevator. At the top of the elevator the material will be thrown into a gravity pipe that lets the material slide into a belt conveyor on the boom. At the end of the boom the material falls into the telescoping loading pipe that delivers the material to the desired position of the loaded hatch.
The traveling gear consists of:
-
4 Track drives, from 2 - 4 wheels each, consisting of:
- bogies with driven wheel(s)
- bogies with idle running wheel(s)
- balancers as connection between the bogies and the steel structure
- electric gear drives
- frequency converter
- rubber buffers
- Manually operated rail clamps
- Operating and emergency limit switches to restrict the traveling path
- Bolt locking devices to lock the ship-loader in parking position
- Anti collision devices
Steel structure to support the boom with belt conveyor, pylon with the counter-weight and the cable drums; complete with platforms, handrails and ladders.
The steel structure consisting of:
- Gantry bridge with 4 legs, ladders, stairs and platforms
- Supporting cylinder
- Supporting structure for the counter weight
- Pylon with ladders and platforms
- Supporting tower for the elevator, complete with platforms and ladders
- Ball bearing slewing rim with external toothing for swiveling the whole upper part
- Slewing gear drives operated via frequency inverter, with brake and pinion
- Locking device with control current limit switch which is operated when the unloader is in rest position
- Limit switches for the limitation of the swiveling movement
