> Projet Data Form for Shiploaders

The shiploader is the last piece of equipment in the material handling system. At the end of the product stream, the shiploader must be the most failure free and easy to operate.

The AMECO shiploader is a slewing, luffing, traveling shiploader designed for handling bulk materials and/or bags. It is designed as a traveling bridge with two traveling carriages.
An operator cabin is located on the same level as the counterweight boom and is accessible by a platform looking towards the shiploader luffing boom. The top of the traveling bridge receives the conveyor system. Access is given to all maintenance points by way of platforms, walkways, stairs and ladders.

AMECO shiploaders are available either for bulk handling, or bag handling, or bag and bulk depending on the tool connected on the shiploader. In order to easily interchange (without the use of a crane) the tools on the shiploader, a resting tower can be placed at one end of the jetty. The resting tower is designed to receive either the bulk loading spout, or the bag loading spout.

The correct tool for the proper job. Depending on the product being loaded, the kind of ships and the rate of loading, the proper tools must be used. These tools are connected to the end of the shiploader boom. AMECO offers a wide selection of tools with the possibility to be connected on all shiploaders :
