Stockyard and port handling systems
for bulk materials
We are an experienced and reliable partner when
it comes to designing and building complete
systems: Handling equipment for loading and
unloading ships and trains; stockyard equipment
for stacking and reclaiming raw materials; and
linked by belt conveyors and intelligent control
systems. Our stockyard technologies are used
in the homogenization, blending, distribution and
stockpiling of raw materials.
Bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimers
Combined bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimers allow
stacking and reclaiming of large amounts of bulk
material in stockyards. The machines are fully
automatable, with corresponding monitoring
equipment, unmanned operation and manage -
ment of raw material levels in the stockyard are
possible, saving money and time.
With their slewing and luffing capabilities, the
machines can stack or reclaim individual sections
of the pile. The material is fed to further handling
facilities in a very even flow, making it possible to
optimize the fill cross-section of downstream belt
systems.
Ship loaders with fully enclosed conveyors
Eco ship loaders from ThyssenKrupp transfer bulk
materials from terminal to ship’s hold through
completely enclosed conveyor systems. The booms
are designed in the form of a large tube, inside
which are the conveyors and service walkways.
The enclosed design prevents contamination of
port loading zones.
Continuous ship unloaders
Rail-mounted continuous ship unloaders are an
outstanding example of our innovative thinking:
They unload bulk freighters by means of a continuously
operating bucket elevator system for faster
removal rates. All conveying equipment on the
ship unloader is enclosed to avoid material spillage
and protect people and the environment.
