Mobile Shiploaders

The most comprehensive range ofmobile Shiploader systems availablewith special features designed tospeed vessel loading handling thecomplete range of dry bulk cargoes atrates up to 2,000 tons per hour.

Full Function Mobile Shiploaders offera cost effective and fast track solutionwith complete flexibility.

By combining the benefits of theSamson Receiving Unit plus compre-hensive options of travel systems andtrimming equipment the B&W MobileShip Loader offers the level of per-formance normally associated withfixed installations but with completeflexibility.

Since no special civil works arerequired the Mobile Shiploader mayoperate on any suitable existing quayarea or river berth using existinginfrastructure thus drastically reduc-ing the capital cost of a new exportfacility with the further benefit of fasttrack availability.

The flexibility and fast tract availabilityoffered by mobile equipment allowsthe port operator to react to changingmarket conditions taking advantage ofoften short term contracts.

In a rapidly changing export commod-ity market the Mobile Option may beconfidently selected in the knowledgethe equipment may be easily relo-cated or even resold if a contract isterminated.

The strong second-hand market forthese machines guarantees excellentresidual values thus minimising theinvestment risk associated with anyproject however volatile the marketconditions may be.

The Samson provides a bufferholding capacity storing the materialbetween truck deliveries to provide aconstant discharge to the outloadingboom.

In this manner trucks may be rapidlydischarged and the overall handlingrate of the installation optimised toincrease the average loading rate tothe vessel.

The development of the SamsonApron Belt Feeder represents a majormilestone in the application of MobileShiploaders allowing virtually any drybulk cargo to be received direct fromtipping trucks without the need forpermanent civil works.

By mounting the Samson (eithersingly or in pairs) to the Shiploaderchassis the complete equipment maybe moved as a single integrated unitas illustrated in these pages.

Each Samson is mounted to a pivotshaft at the head and supported ontwin hydraulic cylinders allowing thecomplete machine to be raised clearof the quay surface for manoeuvring.

Automatic feed rate control systemsmeter the material delivery to theoutloading boom to maintain maxi-mum loading rate without fear ofoverload.

Twin Integral Samson receiving unitsallow two trucks to be dischargedsimultaneously to maximise thesystem handling rate and minimisethe effect of delays in vehicle position-ing.

A single Samson Unit is mounted tothe Shiploader on a Slewing Ringallowing alignment in any direction formaximum flexibility in congested quayareas.

As illustrated below the Samson maybe raised clear or the quay surface forpositioning and for machine manoeu-vring using the powered travel system

The Mobile Samson may be usedsingly or in pairs to feed a Shiploaderhandling virtually any dry bulk cargodirect from tipping trucks or loadingshovels.

Illustrated above twin mobile Samsonunits are handling cereals using aforward facing centralising chutesystem allowing the machines to bepositioned at an angle to the Ship-loader.

This arrangement is only possiblehandling free-flowing materials. Fornon-free-flowing materials themachines must be positioned directlyopposite each other.

Illustrated bottom right a singleSamson handles ball clay using asteep angle centralising chute todischarge to the Shiploader.

Drive to the Samson may be eitherfrom an independent electric or dieselmotor mounted to the Samson. Ortaken from the Shiploader drive unitusing a flexible hydraulic connection.

Alternative feeder arrangementsoffering an economical alternativewhere the benefits of the Samson arenot necessary.

Direct Truck Loading: TippingHoppers offer an economical solutionfor handling free flowing materialswhich may be discharged from thetruck through the small “Grain Door”

Using the direct loading hopper and acombination of feeder conveyorsincreased loading rates are possiblehandling materials such as cereals,oil seeds, fertilisers etc. with theflexibility to discharge two or eventhree vehicles simultaneously.

Direct Shovel Loading: Using a SteepSide hopper with a Loading Shovelallows direct loading for non-free-flowing materials mounted direct tothe Shiploader. This arrangement isnot generally suitable for abrasivematerials where a separate beltfeeder is the preferred solution.

Integral Belt Feeders: An economicalsolution to the handling of mostmaterial types from Tipping Trucks orLoading Shovels at high handlingrates with the flexibility to position thefeeder parallel to the vessel to reducethe total quay space required.

The Link Conveyors may be operatedin pairs or extended with additionalunits to convey material from a fixedloading point to a Mobile Shiploaderallowing flexibility to load to all thevessel holds and trim each hold withminimum lost time.

For larger units self propelled ortowing dolly options are available andwhere high manoeuvrability isrequired the Link Conveyor may besupplied with In-Line and Paralleltravel systems as shown opposite.

Smaller machines as shown belowmay be supplied with a central axleand a towing bar for movement on thequay.

Illustrated above and below two stagevariable angle and telescopic trim-ming chutes including a rotatingdistributor allow accurate materialplacement within the vessel hold.

Effective Ship Trimming is an essen-tial requirement for fast and efficientShip Loading

A comprehensive range of TrimmingOptions are available for all MobileShiploaders with either manual orelectrical control systems for com-plete flexibility.

For the Lancaster Series only Rotat-ing Variable Angle chutes are offereddue to the restricted head loadavailable with this design.

The variable angle chute system asillustrated opposite allows thecomplete chute to be raised up clearof the vessel for machine positioning,see pages 4 and 5 illustrating thisfeature.

All Trimming Chutes are availablewith radio or infrared remote controlsystems permitting operation fromthe vessel deck.

Vessel Trimming Systems

Telescopic chutes eliminate the effectof cross winds on the material in-flight to reduce cargo losses andpollution and when combined withvariable angle control improve thehold trimming range.

In this installation an In-Line Samsonfeeder unit with levelling bladeprovides a controlled feed rate to theShiploader boom conveyor handling1,100 tones per hour.

A full profiled steel enclosure is fittedto the Samson with Reverse Jet DustFilter unit above including mainte-nance access platform.

At the feed boot of the boom conveyora second Dust Filter is provided tofully control dust generation at thetransfer point.

Drive to the complete machine isprovided from a Diesel Gen-Setmounted to the machine chassis withelectro-hydraulic power transfer andincluding an on-board air compressorto operate the reverse jet cleaningcycle.

Dust control is critical handling thistype of material to minimise environ-mental pollution and in these circum-stances the Mobile Shiploader isavailable with an extensive range ofpollution control facilities integrated tothe design.

Pollution Control Systems18

Full Specification Shiploader handling Cement Clinker to Handy Size Ships

Flexible PVC covers for the Samsonfeeder units and the OutloadingBoom Conveyor offer economical andeffective dust control.

The receiving action of the Samsondesign effectively draws material fromthe truck minimising material dropand virtually eliminating dust genera-tion at the truck tipping point

The Telescopic Cascade TrimmingChute controls the material velocityfrom the outloading boom head to thehold floor to prevent particulateseparation and dust generation

Comprising a stack of inclined conesthe Cascade device constrains thematerial flow in a Zigzag pattern tolimit the flow velocity.

As shown opposite the system issupplied with an external flexiblecover to enclose the material pathpreventing wind blown dust genera-tion.

In addition a rotating distributer isalso available to provide ship trim-ming capability comprising a chutemounted to a slew ring with anelectric motor drive unit.

Combined with the dust controlfeatures illustrated the Cascadesystem permits the handling of verydry and dusty material with minimumenvironmental pollution.

By significantly reducing dust genera-tion extraction systems may eithereliminated completely or sized at aneconomical level for extremelysensitive applications.
