A truck unloader is a mechanical equipment designed for efficiently loading and unloading bulk materials. It utilizes a hydraulic system to drive the hopper for material reception and employs Conveyor Belts with telescopic arms to precisely transfer bulk materials to designated stockyards or downstream equipment. This technology completely replaces inefficient manual unloading methods and is widely applied in ports, mines, power plants, and other scenarios. Capable of handling ores, coal, grains, and various other materials, it significantly enhances operational efficiency (single-unit capacity up to 1,800 tons/hour) while reducing dust pollution and labor costs. Equipped with intelligent monitoring systems, it ensures operational safety and meets modern industrial demands for green and automated solutions.
As a top 5 global brand in bulk material handling, Zoomry has dedicated 30 years to the industry, with truck unloaders as a core product. We provide high-efficiency solutions for ports, mines, steel plants, and other clients across 80+ countries. Leveraging advanced R&D capabilities and a global service network, Zoomry has delivered over 200 units of truck unloaders, adaptable to extreme high-temperature, high-humidity, and explosion-proof conditions, making us the preferred partner for overseas clients in bulk material processing.
Core Technical Features of Truck Unloaders
- Zoomry truck unloaders integrate variable frequency drive technology and modular hopper structures, reducing energy consumption by 25% and shortening wear-resistant liner replacement time to 2 hours, ideal for high-intensity continuous operations in ports and mines.
- Designed for all-terrain adaptability, Zoomry truck unloaders feature dual-version crawler/tire chassis with a minimum turning radius of 4 meters, capable of operating on muddy mining sites and steep slopes (gradient ≤15°). With a road transfer speed of 30 km/h, no additional transport equipment is required. The telescopic arm adjusts from 0-20° inclination to precisely match complex terrains like grain silo slopes or rugged mining roads.
- Robust structural design includes rollers and drums made of high-chromium alloy steel, improving wear resistance by 50% and extending lifespan to 150,000 hours. IP66-sealed bearings provide dustproof and waterproof performance, while ATEX explosion-proof certification ensures safe operation in underground coal mines. The equipment withstands 300°C sintered ores, maintaining stable performance in high-dust mines and coastal salt-spray environments.
- Integrated Industrial IoT (IIoT) platform enables real-time monitoring of equipment status (e.g., belt misalignment, bearing temperature) and fault alerts (e.g., misalignment >2 cm, temperature >80°C), achieving over 95% warning accuracy to meet stringent safety requirements in chemical and construction industries.
Industry Applications of Truck Unloaders
Ports and Terminals
Zoomry truck unloaders address bulk cargo handling demands for iron ore and coal at ports. Equipped with variable frequency drives and high-speed conveyor belts (adjustable speed 0.5-4.5 m/s), they achieve a single-unit capacity of 200-1,800 tons/hour, emptying a 60-ton truck in 5-8 minutes. The automatic alignment system synchronizes with ship cargo holds and mobile shiploaders, enabling seamless "unloading-stacking-loading" processes. This reduces traditional vessel berthing time from 72 hours to 36 hours, boosting port turnover efficiency by 50% and saving over $2 million annually in demurrage costs. Dust-sealed designs (dust concentration <10 mg/m³) comply with EU and US environmental regulations.
Mining and Quarries
For challenging terrains and high-dust environments, Zoomry truck unloaders with crawler chassis (ground pressure <0.8 kg/cm²) operate stably on muddy slopes (≤15° gradient), directly connecting to jaw/cone crusher feed ports to eliminate short-haul trucking. Multi-stage buffer hoppers (drop height ≤3 m) and heavy-duty screening systems (adjustable sieve openings 50-150 mm) minimize material breakage and enhance production continuity, lowering per-ton ore processing costs by 25-30%. NM400 wear-resistant steel plates and ceramic liners extend component lifespan to 150,000 hours in abrasive iron ore and limestone environments, reducing maintenance frequency by 9x.
Grain Storage
To meet hygiene standards for grains and feed, Zoomry offers fully enclosed truck unloaders with food-grade stainless steel hoppers and PU conveyor belts, eliminating rust contamination risks. Intelligent flow control systems, linked with gravity sensors and PLCs, adjust unloading speed in real time (error rate <0.5%), precisely matching dryer (moisture control ±1%) and silo capacity requirements. Integrated negative-pressure dust removal systems (airflow 5,000 m³/h) and cyclone separators recover 99% of dust, ensuring compliance with FDA/CE certifications and achieving daily throughput of 3,000-5,000 tons.
Steel and Chemical Plants
In steel mill sintered ore (≤300°C) handling, Zoomry truck unloaders utilize high-temperature-resistant steel cord belts (ST6300 grade) and water-cooled drums for stable operation. ATEX-certified models for chemical industries feature explosion-proof motors and electrical components (IIB standard), alongside combustible gas detectors and automatic spray systems to safely unload hazardous chemicals like xylene and methanol. Hydraulic quick-switching devices (response time <30 seconds) enable alternating handling of coke, pellets, and limestone, achieving daily capacities exceeding 12,000 tons.
