Ship Loaders and

Unloaders
A unique feature of Scorpio Ship
Unloaders is a low cost modular
manufacturing philosophy. The
Unloader can be offered in a modular
arrangement with the following
options:
l Pneumatic Suction and Screw Outload at jetty
l Pneumatic Suction and Pneumatic
Discharge to far storage
l Screw Evacuation and Pneumatic
Discharge to far storage
l Screw Evacuation and Screw Outload to jetty and pipe conveyor to
far storage
With this unique combination, the
Unloader offers complete flexibility at
the dockside enabling filling of Bulk
Tankers, filling of far silos and packing
of cement with the same main
machine. All parts and components
are engineered for heavy-duty
operation considering the demanding
requirement of continuous ship
unloading for quick ship turnarounds.
Where the far silos are at distances
Mobile Pneumatic Ship Unloaders
more than 500 metres from the jetty,
pneumatic discharge will use more
power than conventional belt conveying. Scorpio offers a pipe conveyor to transport
the cement from jetty to far silos beyond 500 metres. The pipe conveyor is highly cost
effective since it is fully covered during the conveying of the cement to the silos and
costs less than conventional belt conveyors.
Scorpio Ship Loaders use enclosed belt conveying technology and telescopic loading
spouts to enable dust free filling of bulk cement into the holds of the export ship.
Bagged cement can also be loaded with these loaders with modular chute
attachments to the unit.

Storage
Cement storage can be in silos, domes or flat storage depending upon the application. Scorpio can
offer steel and concrete silos, dome storage as well as flat storage. Storage capacities can be from 10000
to 100000 tonnes. Scorpio's Flat Storage
system at Galle Port in Sri Lanka handles
15000 tonnes of two varieties of cement.

FLUIDIZING
Where the use of dock based unloaders is not possible and where cement
needs to be distributed over a number of coastal destinations, Scorpio
offers self-unloading ships and barges. The ships are retrofitted with
fluidized floors. Cement is sucked out from the holds to deck mounted
receiving silos from where it is discharged or pumped out to the dockside
for loading into Bulk Tankers or to far silos.
PADS IN HOLDS
The self-unloaders can also double as floating terminals whereby the

cement from the holds is fed into a packing plant within the ship (one of
the holds is converted to a packing plant). These floating terminals discharge bagged cement as against bulk cement in the self-unloaders. The
bagged cement can be discharged from the side of the ship to dockside pallets or directly loaded into trucks parked on the jetty. These dumb
barges are gearless vessels with shallow draft and can be berthed in low draft areas.

profitable. Scorpio can offer a
combination of road, sea and
river movement of cement using bulk tankers, self-unloading ships and river barges. River loading and unloading terminals are designed,
engineered and fitted to suit each location. Especially in India with its long coastline and also with the national waterways now being developed by
the Government, there are major opportunities for low cost cement distribution using an optimum combination of road, waterway and coastal
cement transport routes.
Complete Cement Terminals

The technology and expertise developed by Scorpio can be integrated into a
complete cement terminal covering unloading of bulk cement ships, conveying to
cement silos or other storage and then packing into bags or trucks for distribution.
Scorpio can offer the complete design, engineering, manufacture, installation and
commissioning of small to medium sized cement terminals on a turnkey basis with a
single source responsibility. Such projects also cover feasibility studies, terminal
layouts, ship size recommendations, storage specifications and methods, packing
plants, etc. Scorpio has already supplied a number of such medium sized terminals on
turnkey basis.
High Capacity Screw Conveyors

As part of terminal engineering, high capacity Screw Conveyors are required to feed cement from silos
to packing plant, hoppers, etc. Scorpio has built heavy duty Screw Conveyors of 500 TPH capacity with
12m lengths without hanger bearings. Such technology and design expertise comprise key strengths
of Scorpio which is a technology supplier and not just a hardware or equipment vendor.

Open Truck Unloaders

Scorpio has developed the Open Truck Unloader specifically for

the fly ash handling industry where the low cost of fly ash
prevents its handling and transport using conventional cement
transport methods. The Bulk Tankers used for cement transport
prove extremely expensive for handling fly ash. Based on the
request of a number of cement companies which are now
mixing fly ash into cement at up to 30%, the Open Truck
Unloader offers a low cost solution to fly ash handling. The fly
ash is filled in a specially designed flexible 'superbag' with fits
into a regular road transport truck. This bag is capable of
holding 10 to 15 tonnes of fly ash. On arrival at the cement
plant from the power stations, the bag is opened at the top and
the Open Truck Unloader sucks out the fly ash and discharges it
directly to the fly ash silo in the cement plant.

Transhipment at port anchorage
TRANSLOADER-X (FOR EXPORT)
Ship Unloaders can be mounted on pontoons for transhipping cement and fly ash from river
barges to Panamax vessels and vice-versa. Scorpio offers complete design through
installation and commissioning of such pontoon based systems for transhipment at
anchorage. This enables cement companies to despatch/receive large cement ships of
Panamax sizes to/from the markets. Berthing charges are minimised by transhipping
products from these large ships to smaller barges which can then sail to coastal and inland
market locations.
