2SHIP UNLOADING FACILITIESPORT FACILITIESKAWASAKI-KONE continuous ship unloader

Container crane

The KAWASAKI-KONE continuous ship unloader is abucket wheel type capable of rapid scooping up andunloading various shapes of ship. The bucket wheel
type requires less power to drive than a bucket chain
type, and yet has bigger excavating force.
The vertical conveyor is of the cell elevator
incorporating a stiffened conveyor belt with rubberedge profiles, which reduces dead weight. The verticalarm is of tubular construction and the boom frame isof box girder construction so that their rigidity andEfficiency

strength are improved. With these configurations
machines dead weight is reduced throughout toensure a less driving power.
Machine and ship are protected by rotation of theyoke supporting the bucket wheel against vertical
overload due to ship movement. Excavation will bedone by means of rotating the vertical arm minimizing
the total movement. All these features, state-of-the-art
technology is incorporated in many aspects.

① High-speed hoisting and trolley traveling② Handling two 20-ft containers at the same time
③ Anti-sway system④ Slack-preventive equipment for the ropes⑤ Semi-automatic operation⑥ Easy maintenance by monitoring system

Other special features① The conveyor built into the boom incorporates a cleatedbelt so that the boom can be inclined steeply to handle
diverse shapes of ship with a shorter boom length.
② The vertical arm is of the tilting type actualed by hydrauliccylinder at middle point which allows scooping up of theinnermost recesses of the lower part of the shoulder, while
excessive lateral load is prevented by a hydraulicmechanism.
③ The cabin is located above the bucket wheel in order toallow observation of the scooping up area. The cabin is
kept horizontal by a hydraulic mechanism.
④ A grizzly is provided on the bucket wheel chute in order toremove foreign materials at an earlic process to preventthe occurrence of damage in later process.

STORAGE SYSTEMSDiverse storage and conveyance systems have been adopted tohandle bulk materials such as coal, iron ore and soil withinlarge-scale coal piled power plants, steel mills and cement plants,
depending upon the types of material to be handled and theirconditions of storage and conveyance.

Kawasaki plants and provides a system with regard as optimal
with taking into consideration of the properties of the bulk
materials, the volumes to be handled, and the conditions ofstorage facilities and the surrounding environment.

Indoor storage■Longitudinal house system

Outdoor storage
In this system the pile is covered by apeaked roof.
A conveyor tripper is used for stacking
while a portal scraper type reclaimer
is used for pick-up and discharge.

The stacker-reclaimer systems is economicaland commonly used system.
A stacker is used for piling bulk material
and a reclaimer is used to pick it up. Adust protection net is erected around theperiphery of a pile in order to prevent
flying dust from escaping.

Advantages① Easy to reduce nuisances such as noise, vibrationand dust.

② Fine appearance.
③ Storage materials and equipment are well

protected from the influence of weather conditions.

Advantages① The simpler and more economical

than any other storage system.

STORAGE SYSTEMS■Pool storage system

Movable roof system is capableof automatic opening and closing.

■Silo storage system
Stacker and reclaimer are capable of automatic
operation once initialization has been completed.

The pool system consists of apartial pit in which only the pileis covered in the longitudinal
direction.
The roof is opened and closed
automatically. Only the extent
of the roof in which the stacker
and reclaimer are operating isopened for piling anddischarge.

The silo system is primarily used
for the storage of granularmaterial.
Discharge is by means of therotary plow system which iscapable of mass-flow.

Advantages① Storage is highly efficient.
② Easy to reduce nuisance such as noise, vibration and dust.

※Rotary Plow Feeder (RPF)
Advantages① Mass-flow discharge is fully automatic.
② Simple mechanism and easy maintenance.
③ First-in, first-out of material is possible.
④ Blending on the conveyor is possible by discharging from each silo.

Advantages① Storage is efficient and economical.
② Easy to reduce nuisance such as noise, vibration and dust.
③ Fine appearance.

■Dome storage system

The pile is surrounded by acircular concrete retaining wall
which is covered by a dome.
A rotating stacker and reclaimerare installed inside the retaining
wall for piling and discharge.

Advantages① Large volume storage is possible.
② Easy to reduce nuisance such as noise,vibration and dust.

③ Capable of automatic operation.
