ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik's Success in China Continues
Despite intensive international competition, ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik GmbH. of St. Ingbert Rohrbach, Germany, has recently been awarded two further contracts to supply three continuous shipunloaders to two Chinese Power plants - two to the Shanwei Power Plant in Guangdong Province and one to the Hou Shi Power Plant in Xiamen, Fujian Province.
The two unloaders for Shanwei will be supplied on a turn-key basis, including erection, commissioning and testing and have been designed to unload at a maximum rate of 1,800 tph. each from ship sizes of up to 150,000 DWT. They will be fully pre-assembled at the assembly yard before being loaded onto an ocean-going barge, using the innovative "Roll-on Roll-off" method. This method of transporting fully-assembled machines by sea has become increasingly popular over the past few years and the terms "roll-on" and "roll-off", referring to the loading and unloading of complete machines, are now common.
The unloader for Hou Shi Power Plant will be its fourth and has been designed to unload ships of between 35,000 and 100,000 DWT at a rate of 2,300 tph. It will also be supplied on a turn-key basis.
This power plant purchased its first two continuous shipunloaders from TKF in 1997 and then, in 2002, awarded the contract for a third unloader to a Japanese competitor. However, TKF's well-proven design, which is constantly being developed and improved to ensure that it remains the latest state-of-the-art technology, convinced the customer to place the contract for its 4th unloader once again with TKF.
All of these latest continuous shipunloaders will be equipped with the well-known chain bucket elevator and L-shaped digging foot. The special design of the elevator foot as a digging and reclaiming device allows for:
a) unloading in bad weather conditions (high winds, ship movement caused by waves, tides, etc.);
b) being adaptable to different ship sizes in order to unload as much coal as possible without the assistance of mobile cleaning machines; and
c) effective and time-saving clean up.
TKF are now designing their continuous shipunloaders with increasingly standardised sub-assemblies, in order to respond to constant cost pressures. Technical improvements to achieve high efficiency and automation for unloading, high reliability and environmental protection, are continually being carried out, to benefit their customers.
