ZOOMRY Ship Loader Chute — also known as a telescopic loading chute, loading spout, or feeding chute — is a dust-free bulk material discharge system for loading powdered and granular solids onto dry bulk carriers. Free-flowing materials are transferred from silos, hoppers, containers, or screw feeders through the telescopic chute directly into vessel holds. Built-in flexible dust skirts contain emissions within the loading area, maintaining a clean working environment at ports and terminals.

Telescopic Bulk Loaders – Application Overview

The ship loader chute is a core component of telescopic bulk loader systems, widely deployed in ports, terminals, and industrial docks for loading dry bulk materials such as grain, coal, cement, and fertilizer. The telescopic design ensures seamless material flow from silos or hoppers directly into dry bulk carriers, with adjustable height and integrated dust collection to minimize spillage and environmental impact.

By integrating a telescopic bulk loader with our ship loader chute, terminal operators can:

• Reduce loading time through continuous, controlled material flow
• Minimize dust emissions with enclosed telescopic chute design
• Adapt to vessels of varying sizes and hatch positions
• Improve workplace safety with remote-controlled operation

For high-efficiency bulk loading operations, the combination of telescopic bulk loaders and precision-engineered ship loader chutes delivers reliable performance across mining, agriculture, and construction material supply chains. Compatible with our full range of mobile ship loaders and tracked ship loaders.

Composition of Telescopic Ship Loader Chute

The telescopic chute consists of four main subsystems:

• Power Part: motors, reducers, and spindles
• Executing Part: Steel wire ropes, pulleys, and lifting mechanisms
• Mechanical Part: Top box, hose, rear shell, dustproof cloth bag
• Electrical Part: Sensors, level switches, electrical cabinets

Working Principle of Telescopic Chutes

The telescopic chute uses a double-layer casing structure — an inner chute for material flow and an outer dust cover for emission control. Material passes through the inner chute while the dust cover wraps around it, creating a vacuum chamber that captures airborne particles.

A material level sensor at the bottom of the chute detects when the chute contacts the material pile, triggering automatic lifting to maintain a consistent gap between the discharge point and accumulated material. The dustproof cover rests on the material pile to ensure effective dust suction and prevent overflow.

Key design features:

• Inner chute: Steel plate with polyurethane wear-resistant lining
• Dust cover: Anti-static, soft, chemical fiber material with internal supporting framework
• At least 3 lifting points at the bottom ensure smooth, obstruction-free raising and lowering
• Dust cover retracts freely — large contraction ratio saves installation space

Functions and Applications

The telescopic chute is mainly used in grain and oil storage terminals, bulk feed distribution, cement plants, and port loading operations. It is suitable for loading various vehicle types — trains, tank trucks, and bulk trucks — as well as direct vessel loading when paired with mobile ship loaders.

Applicable materials: Rice, wheat, corn, soybean meal, soda ash, coke, feed, crushed stone, and other powder, granular, and block materials — making it a versatile solution across grain handling, cement, and coal supply chains.
