In October 2007 ThyssenKrupp Foerdertechnik, Business Unit Materials Handling, Germany received a contract for design, construction and delivery of a continuous barge unloader (CBU). The order was placed by PLOR on behalf of PT Indominco Mandiri (now PT Indo Tambangraya Megah) Alliance, a member of the Banpu (Thailand) group of companies for the Bontang Coal Terminal Expansion.
The CBU will be designed for a nominal maximum unloading rate of 4100 t/h of coal from barges ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 tons. The CBU will be of heavy duty design and construction to operate for a continuous period of 18 hours per day and an annual period of 330 days. The CBU has to unload approx. 12 Million tons of coal per year and has to be designed for a service life of 20 years. The machine consists of a rigid supporting frame construction on wheels, which is able to travel along the length of the barge. Reclaiming is done by a double strand bucket elevator, hinged onto a traversing bridge. While reclaiming in the longitudinal direction of the barge, the bucket elevators can traverse from the one side of the barge’s hold to the other. From the bucket elevators the coal is transferred to the portal belt conveyor, which in turn feeds it to the pier conveyor. Control of the traversing bridge is done from the operator’s cabin or from the pier by remote control. Digging depth, speed of the reclaimer and /or traversing is controlled automatically to achieve the required capacity. The reclaimer has a semi-automatic mode to enable manual positioning and/or operating of the reclaimer.
ThyssenKrupp Foerdertechnik’s previous references for continuous barge unloaders and their excellent track record were deciding factors in the contract being awarded to TKF. This continuous barge unloader is another first for TKF in Indonesia, although TKF has already supplied more than 50 continuous ship unloaders, working on the same unloading principle of continuous bucket elevator worldwide.
