The unloaders for ThyssenKrupp Engineering for ocean-going and inland waterway vessels are built in different designs and either as grab-type or continuous unloaders. Slewing and luffing cranes are frequently employed for smaller capacities. Slewing and luffing cranes are especially used when the nature of goods varies widely and a high level of flexibility is required. ThyssenKrupp Engineering has developed the self-digging "L-type" bucket elevator for dust-free, effective and noiseless unloading of coal, ores, sulphur, phosphates, fertilizers and even products such as sticky raw sugar.
ThyssenKrupp Engineering offers a comprehensive range of economic terminal designs that are for the handling of coal and ore, limestone, bauxite and cement, sulphur and potash, as well as for boxed goods, loose goods and containers. Depending upon the material type, terminals are built with buffer stores, stackers, stockyards and stockpile areas, belt conveying systems, bucket wheel reclaimers or blending equipment, wagon or truck loading facilities, as well as ship loading and unloading facilities. Stockyards serve as a material buffers, reserve or blending storage between processing, mining and transhipping. ThyssenKrupp Engineering has a major share in the development of stockyard equipment and blending bed for circular or longitudinal storages, such as stackers, reclaimers, wagon or truck loading and unloading systems and belt conveyor systems.
