I. Key Points in Ship loader Operation
Operating a ship loader is like controlling a giant robotic arm, requiring both precision and safety. Key operating steps include: Pre-startup Inspection: Confirm that the track is clear, the lubrication system oil level is normal, and all limit switches are sensitive and reliable; No-load Test Run: First test basic functions such as gantry travel, boom pitch, and belt operation at a low speed; Load Adjustment Techniques: Dynamically adjust the feed rate based on material characteristics (such as particle size and moisture content) to prevent belt deviation and spillage;
II. Full Ship Loading and Unloading Process Analysis
During Berthing: Adjust the loader track position based on tide level and draft, maintaining a safe distance between the boom and the ship's side;
Loading Operation: Load cargo using a layered method, with each layer no thicker than 1.2 meters, to ensure ship balance;
Closing Operation: After the operation is completed, raise the boom to a safe height, clean up spilled material, and record operation data.

III. Equipment Features and Maintenance
Intelligent Control System: Equipped with material flow monitoring and automatic deviation correction, achieving loading accuracy of less than 2%.
Modular Design: Quickly replace components such as the grab bucket and belt to accommodate different cargo types, such as coal and grain.
Preventive Maintenance: Weekly inspection of wire rope wear, monthly testing of the emergency brake system, and quarterly replacement of hydraulic oil.
