SELF-UNLOADING SYSTEM FOR TRANSSHIPPER ‘BULK BORNEO’

OFFSHORE BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEMS FOR TRANSSHIPPER ‘BULK BORNEO’, WITH A RATED CAPACITY OF 2,000TPH (COAL)

Solution for bulk material, belt feeders, hoppers, shiploaders, belt conveyors

This 2011–2012 project was a transshipment system in Nantong, China, installed on the geared pontoon Bulk Borneo (the transshipper) for coal transport. The capacity is 2,000tph, capable of loading vessels from Capesize 180,000dwt to nine holds and Panamax from 80,000dwt to seven holds, through the two grab cranes which feeds the receiving hoppers TR1/TR2. From each hopper, the handled material is extracted by means of two belt conveyors BC1/BC2 and conveyed into a single belt conveyor BC3 placed transversely extractors. The customer was the Coeclerici Group.

BIG-BAG UNLOADING SYSTEM AND MATERIAL TRANSFER

BIG-BAG UNLOADING SYSTEM AND MATERIAL

TRANSFER TO TURBINE DISSOLVERS FOR TABLE WARE RAW MATERIAL (MICRONIZED ALUMINA)

This project, in Le Palais-sur-Vienne,

France, took place in 2018. It involved FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk container) dischargers with a design that guarantees safe and handy loading, unloading and bulk bag opening operations. The innovative petal-shaped flow aid system allows total or partial discharge of the material ensuring superb efficiency and cost-saving operation even with difficult-to-empty materials.

The interface is the core of a system designed for easy and safe access when connecting the FIBC outlet valve. This interface enables dust-proof sealing thus avoiding product leaks and contamination. The FIBC discharger with loading interface is essential for a healthy, clean and safe indoor work environment.

The system features modular design, which is easily adaptable to different bulk solids, FIBC sizes and weights. An electric motovibrator acts as an additional material discharge aid. The innovative discharge system (ATEX version) is tailored for different material characteristics.

Benefits include: internal footprint (no protruding v parts) allowing optimized battery configuration; no labour required for complete FIBC v emptying; full pre-equipment for subsequent v retrofitting of any accessories; easy adaptability to a wide range of v materials, different FIBC sizes, types and weights; large-scale industrial production v ensures an attractively priced highquality product; problem-free, complete emptying of v bag corners even with compressed

The customer was Imerys Ceramics.
