| Continuous Ship Unloader |
| ThyssenKrupp Materials Handling continuous ship unloaders (CSUs) are equipped with an L-shaped, bucket-elevator-type unloading device that is suspended from the CSU's boom. The material to be unloaded is scooped up by the bucket elevator at the horizontal segment of the "L", while at the vertical segment, the bucket elevator transports the material to the top of the CSU's boom, where it is unloaded onto a belt conveyor. The entire L-shaped system can rotate 360°, allowing full access to the entire hold. The design of the horizontally suspended portion of the bucket-elevator-type unloading device allows for superior emptying, thus minimizing the manual cleanup needed by dozers. Our continuous ship unloaders feature a cantilevered, but guided chain-and-bucket suspension that protects the bottom of a ship's hold. The CSU traverses on pier-mounted rails along the full length of a ship. |

| Grab type Ship Unloader |
| The grab-type ship unloader is the traditional method to unload bulk cargo. A clamshell bucket is cycled in and out of the ship's hold, unloading with each scoop 11000 - 15000 liter, depending on the design specifications. The clamshell is suspended from a traversing trolley and is raised and lowered by a winch. The ship unloader typically incorporates a hopper that provides a metered material flow to the pier conveyor and traverses the ship on pier-mounted rails to access each hold. |
