Large Pneumatic Ship Unloaders

Pneumatic unloading: Total flexibility

  • General Information

  • Types of Machine

FLSmidth's pneumatic ship unloader only requires a pipeline connection to handle the entire conveying process from ship to store. This enables it to work in practically any type of dock environment. The pipeline may run below, at or above ground level. The unloader also functions with removable pipeline sections. The large pneumatic unloader can reach the entire ship’s hold without repositioning. This unique feature allows dock-mobile, barge-mounted and rail-mounted configurations, all offering a very high average through-the-ship capacity. The easily maneuverable vacuum suction arm combines high efficiency with superior environmental characteristics.

300 TPH
For medium sized terminals the 300 tph pneumatic unloader offers a competitive solution for rail-mounted, dock-mobile or barge-mounted configurations.

425 TPH

600 TPH
The top of the line pneumatic unloader has a throughput of 600 tph. To make optimum use of this large unloader, the railmounted version is the preferred solution.

FLSmidth Kovako Pneumatic Unloader
We offer the following type of machines:

Rail-mounted unloaders
Large pneumatic unloaders come in various configurations to match specific unloading situations. A rail-mounted unloader moves easily and quickly alongside the ship, allowing a high through-the-ship unloading rate.

Dock-mobile unloaders

In cases where there are no rails available or the unloader cannot be located permanently on the
quay, a dock-mobile unloader is an excellent solution. Dock-mobile unloaders are either selfpropelled
or pulled by a front-end loader.

Barge-mounted unloaders
In cases where no suitable dock facilities are available or the unloader is to be used at several terminals, a barge-mounted pneumatic unloader is the ideal solution. Complete accessibility of the entire hold without repositioning the barge and an easy rubber hose onshore connection are significant advantages offered by this type of unloader.
