Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the Simporter, a bulk handling system designed for efficient unloading of cereals, seeds, nuts, animal feed, and delicate cargoes such as malt, barley, rice, feed pellets, and cocoa. It is suitable for vessels up to post-Panamax size.

Specifications: The Simporter offers a capacity of up to 1,500 metric tons per hour. It features VIGAN vertical screws for non-free-flowing materials, ensuring efficient feeding. The system is environmentally friendly, with no dust pollution and low noise levels. Power consumption ranges from 0.20 to 0.45 kWh/ton for 600 to 1,200 MTPH (wheat).

Features: The Simporter includes a high-reliability twin-belt system that prevents product damage. It offers adjustable conveying speeds and the lowest power consumption among continuous ship unloading systems. The system provides extensive vessel coverage with luffing up to 55°, working angles of 36° up and -28° down, and slewing up to 270°.

Applications: The Simporter can discharge to quayside conveyors, trucks, and rail wagons. It is available on rails and with cable reels for discharging into trucks or onto a belt conveyor. The system is used in various locations, including Vung Tau, Vietnam (1,200 tons/hour), Port Qasim, Pakistan (1,000 tons/hour), and Ulsan, South Korea (750 tons/hour each).

Additional Capabilities: VIGAN manufactures bulk materials handling solutions, including mobile pneumatic conveyors, pneumatic continuous barge unloaders, mechanical barge loaders, and mechanical loaders for ships of any size.
