Ship loads urea

For an Algerian fertilizer company from SMB International designed
Quickborn two Schiffsbeladesysteme. Conversely, urea is beating. Were
installed directly on the Ship docks on the Mediterranean coast near
the city of Oran, Algeria's second largest city.
SMB International from Quickborn two Schiffsbeladesysteme for handling
of urea has built and installed.
Urea (urea) is the world's largest nitrogen fertilizer and is due to
its high water binding capacity often used as a moisturizing factor in
cosmetics. Also in the pharmaceutical industry it is used in some
ointments as a moisturizer. Urea is produced industrially in large
quantities.
Especially in countries with large reserves of natural gas is now
converted into urea. These are large systems consisting of natural
gas, air and water in several process steps (hydrogen production -
urea synthesis - ammonia production) eventually produce urea. The
obtained initially in solution urea is converted into pellets and sold
in bags or loose.

Inclusion of the ingredient to the ships of Kailängsband
A high rate of precipitation and strong winds were waiting on the
local marine engineers. These criteria were included in the planning
of construction and the materials to be used. The company was
contracted to produce the complete connection to the wharf: that is
receiving the bulk of Kailängsband to the ships. Display
With a reclaimer, the granules are made from the silo sites on the
conveyor system and transported to the SMB Ship. Can take place a
fully automated process to load every day or night and get the goods
from the warehouse to protect the ship.
The designers opted for a moveable system with pivoting on the quay
superstructure. This allows the vessel to be filled at all points.
During the loading of bulk material that first reaches the conveyor
belt system on the tripper car. The property then falls to the portal
tape is conveyed to a hopper, which is located in the center of the
boom pivot point and get onto the boom conveyor and then into the
cascade chute. In this are several open cones stacked in an inclined
position so that the goods in the
Belly of the ship "flows" to avoid such a way that the material is not
destroyed. The outlet of the chute is formed by 360 °.
Of urea is hygroscopic dust trapped
Another advantage of this design is to prevent dust emissions. In
addition, filters are used to transfer points to intercept the
resulting dust, which is particularly important when loading the
hygroscopic urea. The control of the charging system takes from two
different points: from the console in the cab and by hand held remote.
Power is supplied via a cable attached to the ship loader drum, a pipe
made of copper and optical fiber acts as the data lines. From a cable
drum, which is attached to the stevedores, the cable wound.
During the proceedings of the loader low voltage is introduced into
this, which is converted from a low-voltage transformer. The boom is
hydraulically raised and lowered and can rotate about a pivot 180
degrees to work. In resting position he is in top position rotated by
90 ° parallel to the rails. The travel on the dock is approximately
170 m. The loader has a height of 25 m and the arm with loading head
is about 30 m long.
Different types of ships can be loaded
Thanks to the tilting superstructure, the flexible system optimal
loading of various ship types allows for maximum cost savings, such as
SMB indicates. "With this SMB unit can be loaded ships of 35 m up to a
size 10000-60000 DWT, a maximum length of 145 m and a width. The
system handles up to 1,200 tonnes per hour from - but much higher
performance figures are possible, "explains Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Heckel,
director of SMB.
