Iron ore shiploader for abrasive ore loading at mining ports. Heavy-duty wear protection, reinforced belts and impact beds. 100-3,500 t/h. For Handysize to Capesize vessels.
The Zoomry Iron Ore Ship Loader is a high-performance mobile ship loader designed to help ports and terminals reduce downtime during the loading of iron ore, aggregates, and other bulk materials. It ensures efficient and safe loading and unloading processes, providing fast and gentle material handling to meet the demands of modern ports and terminals for efficient logistics systems.
The end of the loader conveyor can be equipped with various types of spouts, ensuring uniform material distribution across the vessel holds, which helps save space and ensures even distribution. Zoomry's Iron Ore Ship Loader is designed with a compact and cost-effective approach, offering a premium solution for bulk material loading. Its mobile wheeled chassis allows the equipment to be easily moved within the port area, and the operation is simple, requiring only one operator to complete tasks efficiently—something traditional port cranes cannot achieve.
Product Features
Reduced Discharge Height: The tight clearance between the conveyor and the vessel deck minimizes the drop height, ensuring stable material discharge and effectively controlling dust pollution.
Flexible Drive Wheel Design: The mobile ship loader can move in straight, lateral, and radial directions, reducing the need for constant repositioning of the feed point and improving operational efficiency.
Telescopic Function: The telescopic conveyor can extend up to 65 meters, ensuring full hatch trimming and accommodating different vessel sizes, enhancing loading flexibility.
High Productivity: The iron ore ship loader can handle up to 35,000 tons per hour, significantly improving port and terminal loading efficiency.
Dust Reduction: Equipped with dust suppression systems and optimized conveyor designs, the iron ore ship loader significantly reduces airborne dust particles, meeting environmental standards.
Tidal Adaptability: The adjustable luffing angle allows the loader to adjust to tides and accommodate various ship sizes, ensuring efficient loading under varying conditions.
Technical Specifications
Reduced Discharge Height: The end conveyor maintains tight clearance with the vessel deck, reducing the drop height and shortening the discharge chute length, improving operational precision.
Flexible Drive Design: The equipment is equipped with multifunctional drive wheels, allowing for movement in straight, lateral, and radial directions. This reduces feed point relocation and minimizes downtime.
Telescopic Function: The conveyor can extend or retract as needed, allowing for hatch trimming and accommodating a variety of vessel sizes for complex loading tasks.
Various Feeders Available: Different types of feeders can be added to the conveyor based on the material's properties, optimizing the loading process.
Applications
Zoomry's Iron Ore Ship Loader is ideal for loading various bulk materials, especially iron ore, coal, and grains. It can be used for both small and large vessels, providing an efficient and safe loading solution for a wide range of shipping needs.
Product Advantages
High Productivity: Continuous loading allows a maximum loading speed of up to 35,000 tons per hour, dramatically increasing port operational efficiency.
Strong Flexibility: The loader can handle various vessel types, from barges to Handysize, Handymax, and Panamax vessels, with high adaptability.
Excellent Environmental Performance: The optimized conveyor system design reduces dust and pollution emissions, complying with modern environmental standards.
Low Operational Costs: The loader reduces reliance on skilled labor and lowers maintenance and operational costs.
Shorter Delivery Time: Compared to traditional fixed systems, Zoomry's Iron Ore Ship Loader offers a shorter delivery time, reducing project implementation periods.
A: Ceramic or high-chrome alloy chute liner, wear-resistant belt, impact idlers at drop points. Key structures in wear-resistant steel. Service life 30-50% longer than standard.
Q: What belt specification for iron ore?
A: ST1600+ steel cord belt recommended, wear cover ≥8mm. For highly abrasive ore, cover thickness 10mm+. Belt width based on capacity and particle size.
Q: Which ports handle iron ore?
A: Large ore terminals (5M+ t/y), steel mill docks. For iron ore concentrate and high-grade ore, mobile shiploaders avoid high civil investment of fixed systems.
Q: What drive power for iron ore?
A: Iron ore density 2.5-3.5t/m³, drive power 30-50% higher than coal. Standard 150-300kW depending on capacity and belt speed. Hydraulic drive optional.
Q: How to control drop velocity?
A: Cascade chute reduces drop speed, protecting vessel and reducing degradation. Adjustable angle for different vessel types. Ceramic liner for wear resistance.
Q: What dust control for iron ore?
A: Low dust content but still needs dry mist + sealed chute. For fine concentrate, add negative pressure collection. Meets port environmental standards.
