Shiploading & Unloading
Offshore Transfer Terminals Boost Handling Efficiency and Cleanliness
|
Flexibility in location and capacity is among the key benefits of self-unloading systems, which offer reliable, efficient and environment-friendly solutions to logistics problems in bulk shipping. |
Ship Unloading
Screw Conveyor vs. Bucket Elevators
|
In many cases where vertical bulk material transport is necessary, screw conveyors can be a valuable alternative to the common bucket elevator. This article provides some information that can help to choose the most suitable concept. |
FIBC Handling
Bulk Bag Unloading - Handling System Upgrades Calendering Operation
|
One of the largest plastics processors in Mexico City streamlined materials-handling, improved process quality, created a safer work environment and made more efficient use of its workers by installing a bulk bag unloading system with pneumatic and flexible screw conveying. |
Vertical Transport
High-Capacity Belt and Chain Bucket Elevators
|
Continuous improvements and new developments have pushed bucket elevators to new heights. State-of-the art systems today offer elevating distances of more than 150 meter and capacities of 1 800 m3/h, and more. |
Grain Handling
Growing Streams of Grain - Waterways are the Future
|
In 2030 about 400 million tons of grain may have to be moved across the globe, 100 million more than in 2005. What is behind this dynamic development, and how can the impact of this development on the ecology and economics of grain transport be reduced? |
Ship Unloading
Pneumatic or Mechanical Unloaders for Grain
|
Due to the ever growing markets for grain, also for non-food and -feed utilisation, the transport and handling of grain becomes more and more important. The minimisation of expensive demurrage and tie-up costs calls for most effective unloading equipment. The actually utilized technologies are presented and discussed here after. |
Belt Conveying
Belting the Worlds’ Longest Single Flight Conventional Overland Belt Conveyor
|
Conveyor CV1103 at Wesfarmers North Curragh mine is the worlds longest single flight conventional conveyor. The belt is 40 km long. Wesfarmers together with design and construction contractors, Laing O’Rourke, were recently awarded the “Australian Bulk Handling Facility of the Year, 2007 (Resources and Infrastructure)” for this $130 million project which is a model for energy efficient conveyors. |
Belt Conveying
A New Approach to Material Transport - The RopeCon Installation at Mt. Olyphant Mine
|
Just a few years ago Doppelmayr introduced a new means of continuous conveying which solves some of the main disadvantages of standard design belt conveyors. The system’s design is based on ropeway technology and convinces through its small footprint, low energy consumption and ease of maintenance. |
Belt Conveying
Digital Magnetic Imaging of Steel Cord Belts
|
Steelcord-reinforced conveyor belting is widely used for the transportation of various products particularly for long overland conveyors. The ability to perform continuous non-destructive condition monitoring of these belts would be beneficial to improve the reliability and availability of these systems. |
Dust Control
Industrial Dust Separators: CFD Analysis of Dilute Phase Cyclones
|
Cyclone Separators are widely used for dust control in a broad range of industries. Although its operating principle is quite simple, the flow behaviour of air and particles inside is not. This paper presents the results of studies using Computational Fluid Dynamics aimed to better understand the process inside the cyclone and, finally, allow for more efficient design. |
