ZOOMRY
Efficient shiploaders are not simple transport equipment, but comprehensive systems integrating multidisciplinary technologies such as mechanical design, automated control, and environmental adaptation. Their core value lies in achieving efficient transfer of bulk cargo from land to vessels by optimizing material conveying paths, enhancing loading/unloading speeds, and reducing material loss. Compared to traditional methods, their advantages are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, they significantly improve loading/unloading efficiency, with a single mobile shiploader capable of handling hundreds to thousands of tons per hour. Second, they reduce labor costs through automated control systems that minimize reliance on manual operation. Third, they decrease material waste and environmental pollution through enclosed conveyor designs that effectively control dust diffusion and material spillage.
In terms of application scenarios, high-efficiency mobile shiploaders are found at key nodes across various bulk trade operations. In ports and terminals, they easily meet the loading requirements for bulk commodities like iron ore, coal, and grains, adapting to vessels of different tonnages such as barges, Handysize ships, and Panamax vessels. In mining enterprises, they directly transfer extracted ores to transport ships, shortening material handling processes. In thermal power plants, they efficiently complete coal loading operations, ensuring timely fuel supply. Zoomry Heavy Industry’s mobile shiploaders, with their flexible mobility and powerful adaptability, have been successfully deployed in port and mining projects across multiple countries worldwide, becoming vital links between land and sea transport.
Technical Advantages of Zoomry Heavy Industry’s High-Efficiency Shiploaders
Since its founding in 2002, Zoomry Heavy Industry has consistently focused on the R&D and innovation of bulk material handling equipment. Its high-efficiency mobile shiploaders showcase numerous technical highlights, fully meeting overseas clients’ demands for performance, safety, and environmental compliance.
Effortlessly Handling Complex Loading Scenarios
Zoomry’s mobile shiploaders feature a modular design, allowing flexible adjustments based on vessel types and working environments. Whether for small barges or large Panamax vessels, precise docking is achieved by adjusting the telescopic length, lifting height, and rotation angle of the mobile shiploader. With a maximum rotation angle of 110 degrees — far exceeding the 70-degree limit of ordinary belt conveyors — the mobile shiploader easily accommodates various angle deviations during vessel berthing. The equipment offers crawler-tracked and wheeled chassis options: the crawler chassis suits sites with complex terrain or soft ground, while the wheeled chassis enables rapid movement on hardened surfaces, catering to different port and mining site conditions.
Regarding material adaptability, this mobile shiploader handles various bulk goods like coal, ores, sand, and grains. Based on the physical characteristics of different materials — such as particle size, humidity, and flowability — it can be equipped with customized Conveyor Belts and feeding devices. For example, enclosed belt designs and dust removal systems are used for dust-prone coal; optimized belt surface materials and cleaning systems ensure smooth transport without residue for high-viscosity ores.
Automated Control System
Zoomry’s high-efficiency mobile shiploader is equipped with an advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) automated control system combined with an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) touchscreen, achieving fully automated loading operations. Operators need only set parameters like vessel type, material category, and loading volume on the control panel. The mobile shiploader then automatically performs telescoping, rotation, and lifting actions, precisely controlling material drop points to avoid uneven accumulation or spillage beyond the cargo hold.
The system features intelligent adjustment capabilities, real-time modifying loading height based on changes in vessel draft to ensure uniform material distribution within the hold, reducing the risk of vessel tilting. Automated control also significantly reduces manual labor intensity — only 1–2 operators are needed to complete tasks traditionally requiring multiple personnel. Practical case data shows that automated mobile shiploaders improve operational efficiency by over 30% compared to manually operated equipment.
Safety and Environmental Design
For safety, Zoomry’s mobile shiploader incorporates multiple protection devices to comprehensively safeguard operations. During power failures, the hydraulic winch system locks automatically within 0.01 seconds to prevent sudden boom drops; if steel cables break, mechanical limiters activate immediately to halt belt slippage. Additionally, standard features like belt deviation sensors and emergency stop buttons ensure swift shutdowns during emergencies, minimizing accident risks.
Environmental performance is a key concern for overseas clients. Zoomry’s mobile shiploader integrates eco-friendly principles into its design: enclosed conveying channels reduce dust and spillage during transport, while optional dust removal systems keep onsite dust concentrations at minimal levels, complying with EU, Russian, and other regional standards. Furthermore, low-noise motors and hydraulic systems operate below 75 decibels, preventing noise pollution in surrounding areas.
Low Project Cycle Costs
Considering overseas clients’ shipping needs, Zoomry designed the mobile shiploader with mostly detachable components, compactly packed into 40-foot high-cube containers to significantly reduce international transport costs. Onsite, pre-assembled modules and plug-and-socket electrical connections allow installation and commissioning in just 10–20 days — far below the industry average of 30+ days — enabling rapid client deployment.
Maintenance is also streamlined. Dual-side maintenance access allows easy inspection and repair of key components; self-cleaning scraper systems automatically remove residual material from belts, reducing manual cleaning efforts; critical parts like hydraulic systems and motors use internationally renowned brands, ensuring reliability, longevity, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Core Specifications and Performance Parameters of High-Efficiency Mobile Shiploaders
Zoomry Heavy Industry’s high-efficiency mobile shiploaders feature high-standard core configurations, ensuring stable and reliable performance for high-intensity operations across diverse scenarios.
Power and Transmission System
The mobile shiploader uses a diesel generator set as an independent power source, eliminating reliance on external electricity — ideal for remote ports or unstable power environments. Generator power varies by model to ensure sufficient energy for the hydraulic system, drives, and controls. The hydraulic system employs a 500–650L oil tank electro-hydraulic power unit, offering stable operating pressure and quick response to precisely control boom telescoping and rotation.
For transmission, internationally renowned brands like SEW or FLENDER gear motors are optionally available to guarantee efficient power transfer. Variable frequency drives adjust conveyor speeds based on material volume, balancing energy savings and efficiency.
Structure and Materials
The mobile shiploader’s main frame uses high-strength carbon steel formed by CNC four-roll rounding machines, with ovality controlled within 1.5mm to ensure structural stability. Key load-bearing components like telescopic booms and rotation supports employ 40Cr forged steel, treated through tempering and ultrasonic testing to eliminate internal stress and enhance fatigue resistance.
Conveyor belts — core to material transport — use highly wear-resistant rubber. Custom thickness and pattern designs are selectable based on material properties to prevent slippage. Multiple polyurethane (PU) cleaner blades at the head and tail sections effectively remove residue from belts, extending service life.
Performance Parameter Range
Zoomry’s high-efficiency mobile shiploaders cover multiple models to meet diverse vessel loading needs. Capacity ranges from 200 to 1,800 tons/hour, with belt widths from 1,400mm to 1,800mm — customizable to client requirements. Maximum loading height reaches 20 meters, accommodating vessels with varying drafts; telescopic boom lengths ensure material delivery to every corner of cargo holds.
For international certifications, the equipment complies with ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO 14001 Environmental Management, EU CE, Russian EAC, Korean KCS, and other overseas market standards.
