New Eco-Hopper in use at Marcor Stevedoring B.V.

For Marcor Stevedoring B.V. De Regt Conveyor Systems recently delivered an innovative eco-hopper specially designed for unloading ships with agri-bulk, biomass, petcoke, minerals, fertilizers and phosphates.

  • Capacity: 750 tonnes/hour

  • Mobile: Hydraulicly drive, max speed 05 km/h

  • Efficient: Can be operated on a generator or shore power connection with an automatic cable reel

  • Flexible: The conveyor under the hopper can operate in either direction

  • Operator comfort: Installation can be operated from an ergonomic and comfortable cab on the machine


The hopper is equipped with several unique features like a flip/flap system, air filters and air cannons. Products like phosphate are difficult to process and have the tendency to stick and harden to prevent this, De Regt has chosen a strategic solution.

 

The bunker is coated with an anti-stick layer and they installed four powerful air cannons, specifically designed to prevent blockage. When activated these cannons blow a large amount of compressed air into the bunker. This breaks up the blockage and keeps the product flow going. For the required compressed air, De Regt uses two 11kW frequency controlled screw compressors.

 

This advanced and tailor-made bulk handling installation ensures an efficient, dust-free and safe working environment.
