In the bulk material transportation industry, the radial mobile ship loader is a common mobile equipment specially designed for bulk material ship loading. Its core structure includes a telescopic boom, a rotating mechanism, a traveling device, and a control system. Through the extension and retraction of the telescopic boom, the rotation of the rotating mechanism, and the movement of the traveling device, it realizes precise conveying and ship loading operations of bulk materials.
The radial mobile ship loader features high flexibility and maneuverability, allowing it to move flexibly in work sites such as wharves and adapt to the ship loading needs of ships of different tonnages and types. The equipment is equipped with a high-power drive system, which can realize adjustable conveying capacity of 500-3500 tons per hour. It can dynamically adjust the conveying speed according to the ship's tonnage and loading rhythm, greatly shortening the loading time. Relying on the optional fully enclosed conveying corridor and anti-leakage sealing structure, combined with the diversion chute design at the end of the telescopic boom, the material spillage rate can be controlled within 0.5%; at the same time, the integrated negative pressure dust removal system can capture dust in real time, ensuring that the dust concentration in the working area is lower than 5mg/m³, taking into account both economy and environmental compliance. Some radial mobile ship loaders are equipped with intelligent control systems, supporting functions such as one-key start, automatic positioning, and fault self-diagnosis. Operators can monitor the entire process from material fetching to unloading through the touch screen, greatly reducing the intensity of manual operations and achieving stable operations even in complex working conditions.
Types of Bulk Materials Suitable for Radial Mobile Ship Loaders
Sea Sand
Sea sand is a common bulk material, widely used in construction, sea reclamation and other projects. Using radial mobile ship loaders to convey sea sand:
Sea sand has certain fluidity, but its particles are relatively coarse. The conveying channel design of the radial mobile ship loader can adapt to the characteristics of sea sand and avoid blockage.
During the ship loading process of sea sand, excessive spillage needs to be avoided. The equipment has good sealing performance, which can effectively reduce the loss of sea sand and reduce pollution to the surrounding environment.
Wharves and other sea sand loading sites are usually limited in space. The flexible mobility of the radial mobile ship loader enables it to work efficiently in narrow spaces.
Palm Kernel Shells / Palm Kernel Meal
As high-frequency transshipment biomass fuels and feed raw materials in Southeast Asian ports, palm kernel shells / palm kernel meal have the characteristics of high fiber content, oil content, and easy caking, which have high requirements on the anti-blocking performance and cleanliness of ship loading equipment. The radial mobile ship loader can well adapt to the material characteristics:
The conveying channel is designed with an anti-sticking coating, combined with a conveying belt with an adjustable inclination angle (in the range of 5°-15°), which can reduce blockage of palm kernel shells / meal caused by oil adhesion, especially suitable for handling conventional batch materials with a moisture content of 12%-18%.
The end of the telescopic boom is equipped with a high-frequency vibrating feeding device, which can break up caked materials, ensure uniform unloading, and avoid local accumulation in the ship's cargo hold.
The fully enclosed conveying corridor + negative pressure dust removal system can effectively control the diffusion of palm fiber dust, meeting port environmental protection requirements (such as the EU dust emission limit ≤10mg/m³).
Iron Ore
Iron ore is an important raw material for the iron and steel industry, belonging to high-density, large-particle bulk materials. Using iron ore mobile ship loaders:
The equipment has a robust structure, capable of withstanding the heavy-load conveying of iron ore. Its conveying boom and related components are made of high-strength materials, ensuring stable performance during long-term high-intensity operations.
The loading of iron ore requires high conveying efficiency. The radial mobile ship loader can meet the loading speed requirements of different ships by adjusting the conveying speed and the length of the telescopic boom, improving loading efficiency.
The equipment has good wear resistance. Iron ore will cause certain wear to the conveying components during conveying, while the key components of the radial mobile ship loader are made of wear-resistant materials, prolonging the service life of the equipment.
Sulfur
As a chemical raw material, sulfur has the characteristics of low melting point (112.8℃), easy flow, and exothermic reaction when exposed to water. During loading, it is necessary to strictly control the conveying temperature and sealing performance.
The conveying belt is equipped with a built-in temperature monitoring sensor. When the material temperature exceeds 80℃, it automatically triggers an early warning, combined with the air-cooling device under the belt, to prevent sulfur from melting and sticking due to high temperature.
The discharge port is designed with an inverted cone buffer structure, which reduces the falling speed of sulfur (from 3m/s to 1.2m/s), reduces dust and splashing caused by material impact, and reduces cargo hold impact loss.
The hydraulic system of the equipment adopts an explosion-proof motor, meeting the operational safety specifications for flammable materials such as sulfur (ATEX Zone 2 explosion-proof rating).
Other Bulk Materials
In addition to the several common conveying bulk materials mentioned above, radial mobile ship loaders are also suitable for conveying various bulk materials such as coal, grains, and limestone.
For coal, which has certain viscosity and dustiness, the equipment's sealing device and cleaning system can effectively reduce dust飞扬 and material residue, ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment and the normal operation of the equipment.
Grain and other food bulk materials have high requirements on the stability and safety during conveying. The stable conveying performance of the radial mobile ship loader can avoid the breakage and spillage of grains, ensuring the quality of grains.
Construction material bulk materials such as limestone usually have large particles and high hardness. The high-strength structure and wear-resistant components of the equipment can meet their conveying needs, ensuring the smooth progress of ship loading operations.
