Boat unloading on rivers with great water level differences

摘要

Boats (15,16) on rivers with great level differences are unloaded by an installation with at least one floating unloader (2). The boats to be unloaded are moved between a pontoon (1) and the unloader on it. Then the goods to be unloaded are supplied by a bucket elevator (3) to a conveyor belt (8) parallel to the river bank or the port pool. The bucket elevator on the unloader is movable in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the pontoon, swivelable about an axis, and liftable. The goods are supplied by an elevator (14) to a vertical conveyor (6), and then by a movable, but unconnected bunker truck, to the parallel conveyor belt.
