SL Series

Product Overview

Bulk Material Handling

ISKAR offers turnkey ship loaders for continuous bulk material handling capacities of up to 2,000 t/h.

High-capacity and environmentally friendly ship loaders are specially designed for handling grain, urea, and other fertilizer minerals. ISKAR loaders feature the latest conveying technology, high capacity, environmentally responsible material handling, easy operation, robust design, and low-maintenance requirements.

The ISKAR ship loaders offer:

  • Dust- and spillage-free loading
  • Compact design and low weight
  • Loading capacities of up to 2,000 t/h
  • Handling of different materials with the same machine

They can be delivered as standalone units or integrated into a complete terminal system.

ISKAR ship loaders are equipped with VFD motor control units, remote control systems, various dust-prevention devices, 3G remote service modules, and a range of optional accessories to meet specific customer requirements.

Service Details

Ship Loader Description

The slewing-type ship loader is a rail-mounted, electrically operated outdoor machine featuring a slewing jib and a single boom operated by two hydraulic cylinders.

The machine is equipped with a feeder conveyor, jib conveyor, slewing gear, electric motors, motor control units with variable frequency drives, luffing cylinders, traveling machinery, electrical protection devices, operating brakes, an operator's cab, and electrical enclosures, providing a complete operating system.

The ship loader travels on 8 wheels on the seaside rail and 4 wheels on the landside rail, with a rail span of 10 meters. It can travel along the gallery of the quay conveyor. At the parking position, the boom is aligned parallel to the rail direction to prevent any extension beyond the jetty toward the sea.

Dustless Technology

Dust Prevention Systems for Ship Loaders

Ship loading can present a significant dust challenge, as material is discharged from the ship loader boom conveyor into the vessel's hold, often from heights of 20 meters or more above the hold floor. This can result in high material velocities and significant dust generation.

With a Cascade system, material descends in a controlled mass flow, minimizing air entrainment and preventing the generation of airborne dust.

The Cascade solution addresses this challenge by directing the material flow through a series of inclined cones, which reduce the flow velocity to a controlled level. The cone-shaped sections contain the material and prevent particle separation while minimizing material degradation. The low material velocity enables controlled discharge onto the stockpile with minimal segregation.

This technology virtually eliminates dust generation at the source, without the need for expensive and energy-intensive dust extraction and filtration systems.

Revision and modification of existing ship loaders into dustless, modern machinery is within ISKAR's area of expertise.
