Continuous Ship Unloader
Continuous unloading systems are increasingly entering into the medium-to-large capacity range for the effective, dust-free and almost silent unloading of coal, ores, phosphates, sulphur, fertilizers and other bulk material.
Continuous ship unloader as Pnumatic ship unloader, screw ship unloader and bucket ship unloader etc. for meeting the requirement from and cargo charictoristics
GBM port handling systems supplied worldwide in tailor-made designs in compliance with customer requirements meet the highest standards of quality and functionality. A good example of this is bulk material handling by means of continuous unloading systems developed by GBM.
GBM Pnumatic Ship Unloader
Pneumatic ship unloader for grain, feed, biomass, and many other dry bulk materials according to customer requirements. Can be used to unload many types of bulk goods, particularly from the:
- food sector
- products from the power plant
- aluminum industry
1. Unloading capacity up to 600 t/h, based on alumina
2. Supply via the low or medium voltage
3. Use of diesel generators possible
4. Stationary, rail or rubber-tired steerable wheels
5. Broad coverage of the ship’s hold by horizontal and vertical telescopic tube
Auxiliary winch for residual cleaning on the boom for an excavator or front loader
6. If necessary, with explosion protection concept following ATEX guidelines
Clean and Quiet, Sustainable and Safe, Efficient and Reliable
GBM Bucket Elevator Ship Unloader
In the continuous mode of operation, ship unloading by means of bucket elevators prevails. Ship unloaders with bucket elevators are significantly more efficient and flexible in the emptying of a ship´s hold than grab-type unloaders.
Moreover, the continuous mode of operation helps reduce the environmental footprint. It allows for dust-free and low-noise operation and it is at the same time very gentle on the material handled, including the residuals cleaning in the vessel holds.

Screw Ship Unloader
The GBM ship unloader is designed to transfer dry-bulk cargo from ship to shore in the most efficient manner possible. Equipped with GBM totally-enclosed screw-type technology, ship unloaders deliver high rated capacities, excellent through-ship performance and low environmental impact. Able to handle almost any dry bulk material, the same machine can be used for different cargoes without requiring changes to the equipment.
GBM unloaders offer a wide range of rated capacities from 200t/h to very high rates of more than 3,000t/h. However, the true measure of their excellent performance is their through-ship capacity; the time it actually takes to completely discharge a vessel. In addition, outstanding performance should be linked not only to unloading rates and efficiency in the unloading process, but also to the ability to unload sensitive cargoes without degradation of the cargo and with limited power consumption.
Transport the Bulk Material by ships
Bulk material has to be conveyed in large quantities. Building materials, coal, cereals, fodder, mineral compounds or products of the chemical industry are often loaded at the production location in suitable bulk cargo to other locations. It is particularly important to provide technical ship unloading and handling systems designed specifically for the product and adapted to the installation conditions. When dimensioning these systems, characteristics of the goods like bulk density, product temperature as well as flow properties are to be taken into account. Other important criteria are the loading capacity, weight and volume monitoring and dust-free, environmentally friendly operation. continuous ship unloader are essential for port handling and the global shipping industry. They must be reliable, cost effective and individually fitted for all specific project needs to provide the biggest advantage and a huge cost reduction. GBM combines a long history, expertise, quality, tradition and provides highest engineering skills. Our continuous ship unloaders are the best solution for the highest demands. Our unloading systems are able to cover the widest range of applications, always very cost efficient, reliable and with low maintenance needs. GBM can also deliver all additional needed technology for ship unloading and port handling like conveyor, truck loader, truck unloader, ship unloader and more. GBM covers the complete range needed for unloading systems with best integration and individually fitted for your specific project needs.
