Mining & Port Dual-Use Mobile Shiploader

Time:2025-09-28 16:28:37 Number of Clicks:

In the global bulk material handling field, different scenarios have varying demands for bulk material conveying equipment: mining requires efficient transfer from the extraction site to the transfer warehouse, sand and gravel yards need to achieve raw material stockpiling and loading connections, while ports must adapt to loading demands for vessels of different tonnages. Configuring separate equipment for each scenario not only incurs high investment costs but also leads to efficiency losses due to equipment switching. The Mining & Port Dual-Use Mobile Shiploader developed by ZOOMRY breaks the limitation of "one equipment for one scenario." With its core capability of "loading + transfer + stockpiling three-in-one," it adapts to diverse scenarios such as mining, ports, sand and gravel yards, and coal mines, serving over 30 provinces domestically and more than 20 countries overseas, becoming the preferred solution for bulk material handling enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Features of ZOOMRY Mobile Shiploader

Whether it is ore transfer in mining, vessel loading in ports, or raw material stockpiling in sand and gravel yards, the core demands of bulk material handling always revolve around "cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and flexibility." The "multi-scenario adaptation" equipment design is the key to addressing these demands. From a cost-reduction perspective, in traditional modes, enterprises need to configure fixed conveyors for mining transfer, dedicated shiploaders for port loading, and stackers for sand and gravel stockpiling, increasing equipment procurement costs by more than 60%. However, ZOOMRY's mobile shiploader, through "modular functional design," only requires replacing or adjusting partial components (such as hopper liners, conveyor belt types) to achieve multi-scenario switching, with a single unit replacing three types of traditional equipment, directly reducing procurement costs by 40%-50%.

In terms of efficiency improvement, the "breakpoints" in bulk material handling often come from equipment switching, such as ore in mining needing to be transported via fixed conveyors to a transfer point and then switched to a shiploader, with intermediate shutdown connections taking 1-2 hours each time. This equipment, with its "crawler mobility + arm telescoping" function, can move directly from the mining site (slope 15 degrees) to the port terminal, with the belt tilting at 12 degrees for transfer (capacity 800 tph), and for loading, the arm extends over the vessel cargo hold with sealed belts ensuring dust emissions ≤30 mg/m³. After commissioning, the processing time for a single batch of raw coal was reduced from 4 hours to 2.5 hours, with equipment investment costs lowered by 45%.

For specific pain points in different scenarios, the equipment also has targeted adaptation capabilities: in mining scenarios (coal mines, metal mines) requiring resistance to large particle material impact and wet terrain, the equipment uses "thickened wear-resistant liners (thickness 12 mm) + anti-slip crawlers (ground specific pressure ≤80 kPa)"; in port scenarios needing adaptation to multiple vessel types and environmental requirements, the arm can telescope (maximum 15 meters) and adjust discharge height (3-5 meters), with variable frequency belts adjusting speed based on moisture content (1.2-2.0 m/s); in sand and gravel aggregate scenarios prone to blockages due to moisture content, the equipment can add "anti-blockage guide plates."

Intelligent efficiency is the third major core advantage. The equipment is equipped with a "PLC full automatic control system + HMI intelligent operation screen." After inputting material type and scenario mode, the system automatically adjusts belt speed, arm angle, and discharge height without manual repeated debugging; it supports mobile APP/computer remote monitoring of operational data (belt speed, motor temperature, fault warnings), allowing one person to manage 2-3 units, significantly reducing labor costs; it is also equipped with 7 safety devices such as power failure self-locking and overload protection, with response time ≤0.01 seconds, ensuring safe scenario switching.

In terms of global compliance, the equipment has passed multiple international certifications: ISO 9001 quality management system and ISO 13485 medical device-level standards for quality; ISO 14001 system, EU CE certification, and US EPA standards for environmental protection; US OSHA and Australian AS 4024 standards for safety, ensuring barrier-free adaptation to overseas scenarios.

Finally, low consumption and durability features. The equipment adopts "diesel/electric dual power optional," switching to electric drive in ports with grid power can reduce energy consumption by 40%, with permanent magnet synchronous motors improving efficiency by 15% compared to traditional asynchronous motors; core components use high-spec materials, with drum shafts made of 40Cr forgings (diameter ≥200 mm), rollers using "HDPE shell + silent bearings" (noise ≤45 dB, life over 50,000 hours); and providing 5-year main equipment warranty and 2-year wear parts warranty (industry average 3 years), reducing long-term maintenance costs.


Coverage of Multi-Scenario Needs

ZOOMRY has formally implemented its mobile shiploader in global multi-type bulk material scenarios, solving common industry pain points through functional adaptation. In coal transfer + loading scenarios, coal mining sites are often located in remote mountainous areas, with traditional equipment requiring "fixed conveyor + shiploader" coordination, which is costly and inefficient. After selecting the ZRSL-45 model mobile shiploader (configured with explosion-proof motor + anti-slip crawler), the equipment can move directly from the mining site (slope 15 degrees) to the terminal, with the belt tilting 12 degrees for transfer (capacity 800 tph), and for loading, the arm extends over the vessel cargo hold with sealed belts ensuring dust emissions ≤30 mg/m³. After commissioning, the processing time for a single batch of raw coal was reduced from 4 hours to 2.5 hours, with equipment investment costs lowered by 45%.

In sand and gravel aggregate stockpiling + loading scenarios, traditional stackers can only stockpile, requiring additional loading machines, and sand and gravel are prone to blockages due to moisture. After selecting the ZRSL-40 model mobile shiploader (added anti-blockage guide plates + anti-stick belt), during stockpiling, the arm rotates 360 degrees to form layered stockpiles (height 12 meters), and for loading, it moves directly over the truck to adjust discharge height (3-5 meters), with variable frequency belts adjusting speed based on moisture content (1.2-2.0 m/s). After commissioning, sand and gravel yard labor costs decreased by 60%, and blockage failure rate dropped from 15% to below 2%.

In metal mine (iron ore) cross-scenario handling scenarios, traditional equipment requires "transfer machine + shiploader" two units, and ore hardness (Mohs hardness 6-7) leads to fast wear. Using the ZRSL-50 model mobile shiploader (hopper and chute added 12 mm wear-resistant ceramic liners), the equipment can transfer from the mining site to the beneficiation plant (distance 2 km, capacity 1200 tph), then load vessels (arm extends over 80,000-ton cargo ship, discharge error ≤300 mm), with continuous operation for 12 months without major wear, and concentrate loading efficiency improved by 28%, saving about 200,000 yuan in maintenance costs annually.
