In order to solve serious problems connected to cereal unloading from ships REGGIANE designed and supplied during the first months of 1981 four floating unloaders, each of them equipped with two pneumatic unloading units, for a total capacity of 500 t/h.
The fabrication of the four floating pontoons was carried out by a European company in this branch of production while REGGIANE took care of the project and fabrication of the pneumatic unloaders.
The floating unloaders are being used for cereal transshipment from bulk carrier ships of up to 100000 DWT to barges. Furthermore, it is possible to unload from oil tankers and loading may take place into hoppers placed on the dock and then road trucks or railway cars are fed from these.
