Port technology for coarse and powdered bulk goods The properties of the bulk materials to be loaded will determine the port technology used in the construction. Coarse bulk materials such as lumpy ores or clinker for cement production are loaded into the holds of a freighter with the help of conveyor belts and a vertical telescopic pipe. With powdery bulk materials, the conveying systems are encapsulated, i.e. completely enclosed. Filter systems optimise the procedure so that an exchange of the raw materia
The size of the ships that are to be loaded is also an important specification when developing the correct system. Barges are relatively short vessels. So stationary ship loaders do a marvelous job here. But the ocean bulk carriers such as the “Valemax” also have to be loaded. With a length of 362 meters, which is almost the same height as the Berlin television tower, the technology at the harbours loading point requires an expedient construction. Mobile ship loaders move along the entire length of the ship
