[Case Study] Mechanical Ship Unloader / Kushiro Port
The unloader boasting the largest annual unloading volume in Japan that supports international bulk strategic ports.
The Hokkaido region plays a central role in Japan's food supply, and Kushiro Port functions as an important logistics hub. Approximately 50% of Japan's milk is produced in Hokkaido, and many grain raw materials unloaded in Kushiro are used for feed production by local livestock farmers and dairy farmers. In 2019, a decision was made to enhance the port's cargo handling capacity, and our market-leading Portalink was adopted. This was the first case where our unloader was provided to a public facility, making it a very important project.
basic information
The portal link unloader consists of a bridge structure with a rotating body at the top, a truss-structured horizontal boom, and a kick-in/kick-out system equipped with a marine leg. The bulk cargo unloaded from the hold is transported at low speed to the pier by a high-performance horizontal chain conveyor. The marine leg is the key to the overall efficiency of the system and is the heart of the machine. The portal link's marine leg forms a column of raw materials within the trough of a vertical chain conveyor, unloading raw materials at a speed of 300 to 1,300 tons per hour. To prevent the degradation of raw materials, transportation is carried out at low speed. The automatic sink-in system allows the intake opening to sink to the optimal height within the raw materials during unloading operations, enabling stable rated capacity unloading. 【Advantages】 - High unloading efficiency - Low operating costs - Gentle transportation of raw materials - Low energy consumption
