A tradition of innovation
PWH Anlagen & Systeme was a company with over a century of history and known throughout the world for excellent shiploader solutions. That company’s expertise and experience were fully integrated into our thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions portfolio. This tradition combined with ongoing innovativeness ensures that our proven shiploaders continue to set quality and cost-effectiveness standards in materials handling operations. Whatever type of shiploader you need, it will already have been built numerous times in the past. This wealth of experience guarantees you the ideal bulk loading solution to meet your needs.
To this day, we have successfully commissioned more than 170 shiploaders, 52 of these in the past 15 years alone. Whatever the specific materials handling requirements – loading deep-sea or coastal vessels or handling coal, ore, bauxite, alumina, fertilizers, phosphates, sulfur or other goods – they were fully met in each and every case.
Typs of shiploaders
Traveling shiploaders with slewing booms are particularly suited to shorter quay lengths. By luffing the boom and in certain types telescoping it, these shiploaders can optimally adapt to a ship’s size and loading process. One particular advantage of slewing shiploaders is that ships can be loaded from both sides of a finger pier.
Our features – your added value
Modern sophisticated features ensure our shiploaders are eco-friendly, reliable and user-friendly to avoid downtime and facilitate everyday processes.
Shiploaders with an environmental design
To meet today’s environmental requirements, our shiploaders are equipped with all the necessary precautionary equipment and systems to minimize the impact of noise, dust emissions, etc. on the surroundings. To reduce dust emissions and avoid any material leakage, for example, our shiploaders have a covered boom and discharge chute that load the material directly into the hatches.
Maintenance assistant system for shiploaders
As a maintenance support tool, our maintenance assistant system helps to ensure maintenance takes place at regular intervals. Every time maintenance activities are completed, they are recorded and documented in the system logbook. By adhering to the preset maintenance schedule, operators can avoid expensive repairs caused by a lack of maintenance and thus minimize downtimes.
Automated shiploaders
Our shiploaders have a state-of-the-art integrated drive and operational safety control via a PLC system. The entire operation can thus be controlled via the panel in the operator’s cabin. The high degree of automation and operational safety combined with the operational assistance provided by the operator’s screen enable personnel to operate the machine easily and effectively.
Plug & play – turnkey delivery
Through turnkey delivery of tested, preassembled units we supply shiploaders that are ready for operation on the pier and bring immediate economic benefits and minimize downtime.
How our customers benefit from turnkey delivery:
Time-saving erection on the manufacturer’s pre-assembly yard where tools, lifting equipment, and a workshop are always available
Easy erection on the pier, irrespective of the pier’s size and type (e.g. finger pier).
Easy execution of adjustments required at the erection site, as the shiploader has already been pre-commissioned
Minimal pier downtime, even when replacing an existing shiploader
More time for pier construction, as the shiploader does not need to be preassembled on the pier
