Ship unloaders and terminals

Material that’s stuck in storage is frustrating. It’s not making you money – in fact, it’s costing you money to get in there and retrieve it. We design all of our storage reclaim systems to ensure you get maximum reclaim efficiency, with minimum power consumption. No more wasted materials. No more wasted time.

Not all vacuum arms are created equal. Most pneumatic vacuum unloading arms have evolved from cranes designed for vertical lifting and are fabricated from high-tensile steel. When these arms are under high loads and forces they can fatigue and crack very quickly. FLSmidth Cement uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performs full kinematic studies to identify and strengthen stress points on the Docksider™ Ship Unloader arm during the design phase to prevent the arm from failing during operation. Backed by decades of experience and a worldwide service and support network, these pneumatic ship unloaders offer optimum reliability and efficiency.
