5000 t/h Flexible Mobile Ship Loader for Sulfur Loading and Unloading

As a typical bulk material, sulfur features low bulk density (1.1-1.3 tons/cubic meter) and easy fluidization. If the equipment sealing is insufficient, it is prone to dust leakage, which not only pollutes the environment but also poses safety hazards (sulfur is a flammable substance, and dust may cause explosions when encountering open flames). In addition, the operating spaces in ports, chemical industrial parks and other scenarios are often limited. Traditional fixed ship loaders are difficult to adapt to complex terrains and multi-berth operation requirements, and their insufficient flexibility will significantly reduce turnover efficiency. The 5000 t/h flexible mobile ship loader independently developed by Zoomry Heavy Industry, with targeted design and technological breakthroughs, has become an ideal solution for sulfur bulk material loading and unloading.

Product Features of 5000 t/h Flexible Mobile Ship Loader

Meeting Large-Scale Sulfur Loading and Unloading Requirements

This ship loader takes a handling capacity of 5000 tons per hour as the core design indicator and is equipped with a high-performance drive system - optional SEW/FLENDER/JIE gear motors. The stable power output ensures that sulfur transportation will not be interrupted during continuous operations. The conveying belt and hopper of the equipment have been specially optimized. The hopper adopts a conical design and is equipped with rubber skirts to reduce sulfur residue and blockage during loading and unloading, further ensuring efficient operation, significantly shortening the loading and unloading time of a single batch of sulfur, and improving the cargo turnover speed of the wharf or factory area.

Adapting to Complex Operating Scenarios

Sulfur loading and unloading scenarios are often limited by the site - port berths have limited space and chemical industrial parks have complex terrains. The flexibility of Zoomry Heavy Industry's mobile ship loader enables the equipment to meet the regular operations of fixed ports and cope with dynamic needs such as temporary storage yards and multi-berth switching, solving the problem of traditional fixed equipment being "limited in the whole area when operating in one place":

• Multi-mode movement: optional wheeled or crawler chassis. The crawler chassis is especially suitable for soft ground or complex terrain, while the wheeled chassis is convenient for rapid transfer on hardened roads;
• Multi-functional adjustment: with radial rotation, telescopic and pitching functions. Operators can adjust the operating angle and range through remote control, easily adapting to the loading and unloading needs of ships of different tonnages (from barges to Panamax ships);
• Convenient transportation and assembly: the equipment can be disassembled and loaded into 40-foot high cube containers, reducing cross-regional transportation costs; on-site assembly only takes 10-20 days, enabling quick put into use.

Conforming to Bulk Material Environmental Protection and Safety Standards

The easy dusting property of sulfur puts forward high requirements for the sealing performance of equipment. Zoomry's mobile ship loader ensures environmental protection and safety through full-process sealing design, and can meet the requirements of environmental protection supervision and safe production while operating efficiently, avoiding enterprises from being punished due to excessive dust or safety accidents.

• Sealing in the conveying link: the head is equipped with polyurethane scrapers, which can remove residual sulfur on the belt; rubber skirts are set around the tail hopper to form a tight seal and reduce dust leakage;
• Safety protection system: standard belt deviation switches and emergency stop devices, which can trigger self-locking within 0.01 seconds in case of abnormalities, preventing safety accidents caused by sulfur overflow;
• Compliance certification: the equipment has passed ISO 9001 quality management system, ISO 14001 environmental management system certification, as well as CE (European market), EAC (Russian market) and other international certifications, fully complying with the environmental protection and safety standards of the chemical industry.

Intelligent Control

The equipment supports three operation modes: fully automatic PLC control, remote control and manual operation. Operators can flexibly switch according to the scenario. Through the HMI touch screen, the operating status of the equipment can be intuitively monitored, and loading and unloading parameters can be preset to realize automatic management of sulfur loading and unloading, reducing errors and costs caused by manual intervention.

For scenarios requiring 24-hour continuous operation, intelligent control can significantly reduce labor costs and improve operation accuracy - for example, presetting the loading amount through PLC to avoid overloading or underloading and ensure the stability of the loading and unloading process.

Applicable Scenarios and Industry Value

For users, the value of the equipment lies not only in the efficient handling capacity of 5000 tons per hour, but also in its ability to solve the "efficiency-safety-site" contradiction in sulfur loading and unloading - ensuring the timeliness of large-scale operations, avoiding environmental protection and safety risks through sealing and safety design, and adapting to complex sites to reduce early infrastructure investment, truly achieving the trinity of "cost reduction, efficiency improvement and compliance".

• Chemical industrial parks: handling the in-plant transfer and shipping of sulfur and other chemical raw materials, meeting the strict requirements of the park for environmental protection and safety;
• Ports and wharves: providing efficient loading and unloading services for sulfur import and export, adapting to different tonnage ships and berth layouts;
• Bulk material transfer stations: as key equipment for sulfur distribution, connecting road and waterway transportation to improve transfer efficiency.

Analysis of Core Configuration and Performance Parameters

Drive and Transmission System

• Adopting an electro-hydraulic integrated power pack (oil tank capacity 500-650 liters), which can synchronously drive the conveyor belt, chassis movement and telescopic mechanism, with a 20% improvement in response speed;
• The gear motor selects internationally renowned brands (SEW/FLENDER), with overload protection function, which can automatically adjust the output power when the sulfur conveying load fluctuates to avoid shutdown.

Conveying and Loading/Unloading Mechanism

• The standard belt width is 1800mm, using high-wear-resistant polyester canvas belt (tensile strength ≥2000N/mm), adapting to the friction loss of sulfur particles;
• rollers are made of HDPE material, with rotation resistance ≤2N (better than the national standard requirement of ≤3N), operating noise ≤40 decibels, reducing energy loss;
• The hopper adopts a conical design, with a wear-resistant lining plate at the bottom to avoid sulfur accumulation and blockage, and the feeding efficiency is increased by 15%.

Intelligent Control System

• Equipped with PLC fully automatic control system and HMI touch screen, which can preset the loading process (such as automatically adjusting the conveying capacity according to the ship's hold capacity) to realize unmanned operation;
• Supporting remote control (effective distance 50 meters), operators can complete start-up, telescoping, shutdown and other operations in the safe area, reducing contact risks;
• Equipped with level sensors and weighing modules, which can feed back the loading and unloading amount in real time with an accuracy error ≤1%, facilitating production scheduling.

In the field of sulfur loading and unloading, efficiency, safety and flexibility are the core demands of enterprises. Zoomry Heavy Industry's 5000 t/h flexible mobile ship loader is supported by 20 years of experience in bulk material handling, integrating the advantages of efficient drive, flexible movement, safe sealing and intelligent control, and has become the preferred equipment for sulfur loading and unloading scenarios. Whether it is the raw material transfer in chemical industrial parks or the import and export of sulfur in ports, it can create tangible operational value for enterprises with its stable performance and adaptability.
