HARBOUR TERMINAL FOR PHOSPHATE LOADING - NOEN, a.s.
General description
The harbour terminal for phosphate loading with the assumed location on the Red Sea coast.
The project results in modernization and extension of the existing terminal.
– increase in conveying capacity
– higher effectiveness of work
– possibility of loading larger cargo ships
– reduction of dustiness arising from handling phosphate sands
The terminal’s main components for loading phosphate sands to ships include a belt conveyor and a slewing loader with a telescopic tilting boom.
Material is transported to the terminal space by trucks and discharged either directly into a charging hopper situated at the beginning of the central belt conveyor or onto an area in some of three jacketed storage halls. From these halls, material is then transported by a wheel loader to one of charging hoppers situated on a horizontal part of the conveyor. A continuous withdrawing of material from the hoppers to the belt conveyor is provided by the vibratory feeders. Material is transferred by means of the conveyor to the telescopic ship loader and then through a telescopic lead-in to the cargo space of a positioned ship.
Main equipment of handling and conveying system:
– Central belt conveyor.
– 4 x 50 m3 stable charging hoppers with vibratory feeders.
– 2 x 30 m3 stable double charging hoppers with vibratory feeders.
– Mobile wheel shovel loaders, or push dozers.
– Completely equipped storage halls.
– Ship loader with slewing, tilting, telescopic boom and telescopic filling spout.
Main parameters of harbour terminal machines and equipment
| Total weight of installed equipment | 650 | t |
| Theoretical conveying capacity of terminal | 1,000 | t/h |
| Bulk density of phosphates to be conveyed | 1.4 | t/m3 |
| Length of central conveyor | 330 | m |
| Diameter of ship loader boom reach | 25-40 | m |
