Streamline Your Bulk Material Process With a Custom Ship Unloader

If your company is perpetually trying to simplify its bulk material handling process to increase efficiency and productivity, a custom ship unloader from Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) might be a valuable acquisition. Designed to streamline the process in port, these ship unloading systems are another unique option from the bulk material handling experts that have been providing reliable solutions since 1927. MHE has carved its niche by providing customized, heavy-duty conveyors that can stand up to excessive wear and tear, and our ship unloaders are no exception.

How Does a Custom Ship Unloader Function?

MHE’s ship unloaders utilize several different conveyors to efficiently move bulk materials out of a storage hull and onto shore. First, a belt conveyor moves ores or other materials from the bottom of the ship to one of the largest bucket elevators in the world. Next, the material is elevated out of the ship’s belly and onto an attached air conveyor. The air conveyor, which can rotate to either side of the ship, has a downspout that can be affixed to a receiver on shore to finish the process.

A custom ship unloader from MHE can efficiently process a variety of ores, including:

• Iron
• Copper
• Zinc
• Bauxite
• Nickel
• Gold

It could also be adapted to handle other bulk materials, including coal, salt, and cement. And since we custom manufacture our conveyors using heavy-duty components, you can expect your ship unloader to perform reliably for decades.
