the sacks continue on to the spiral chute, where they slide vertically by gravitation onto the rotating plate of a loading head, which transports the sacks on to a telescopic conveyor belt of the loading head. By means of raising and lowering the boom with the aid of a cable winch in combination with a rotating device of the loading head by 360°, most areas of the cargo hold can be reached without warping the ship. Here the sacks are then loaded into the required area of the ship. In this way, and depending on the skill of the operator, 2,400 sacks of 25, 40 and 50 kilograms can be loaded per hour into a ship. The complete
loading process is handled by a single operator using a radio remote control. One further person moves the sacks off the conveyor belt of the loading head into the cargo hold of the ship. The sacks are transported on by ships which distribute the product in the country by river.
All electrical and mechanical components of the machine are designed and manufactured by SMB in Germany. The individual assemblies were manufactured in Quickborn, and these electrical and mechanical components, including the control unit, subsequently delivered and installed on-site. In the areas of mechanics, and electronics and programming, the company sends out experts who coordinate the various working groups on-site.
“Due to the individual requirements and the interesting environment, our team has once again gained valuable experience.
