Global palm oil by-products (palm kernel expeller/PKE and palm kernel shell/PKS) impose stringent demands on port handling equipment due to their low bulk density (PKS: 300-400 kg/m³), high dust generation, and hygroscopic properties. Traditional fixed shiploaders, constrained by tidal fluctuations, multi-vessel adaptability, and environmental regulations, struggle to meet the daily 10,000-ton export requirements of large-scale ports.
Zoomry Heavy Industry’s modern mobile shiploader solution overcomes spatial limitations through modular design. Equipped with a dual-sealed conveying system, it reduces dust emissions to <5 mg/m³, while intelligent flow sensors optimize material handling for PKE (2-8 mm particles) and PKS (10-30 mm particles). The omnidirectional mobile chassis enables hold changeovers for 10,000 DWT bulk carriers within 30 minutes, with a 40% smaller turning radius, making it ideal for resource ports with tidal ranges up to 5 meters.
This solution has elevated PKS loading efficiency at Indonesia’s Tanjung Priok Port to 5,500 TPH, reducing ROI cycles to 14 months and redefining logistics standards for palm byproducts (see case study below).
Zoomry 5000 TPH Mobile Shiploader
Zoomry’s 5000 TPH mobile shiploader for PKE PKS is an omnidirectional intelligent bulk handling system designed for global ports. The integration of modular design and omnidirectional mobile chassis eliminates spatial constraints of fixed systems, enabling rapid adaptation to Handymax and Panamax vessel configurations. The chassis supports 360° rotation and lateral traversing, achieving "zero blind zone" coverage at berths.
5000 Tons per Hour Capacity
- Dual-power drive system: Diesel-electric hybrid ensures continuous operation (peak power: 1,800 kW)
- Laminated conveying technology: 3-layer ST6300 steel cord belts with dynamic tension control limit deviation to ±15 mm
- Flow optimization: DEM-based material flow control increases PKS fill rate to 92%
Core Advantages
High-Efficiency Loading System
-
Dual-belt synchronization:
Main belt (2,400 mm width) and boom belt (1,800 mm) employ closed-loop VFD control, reducing PKE conveying energy consumption by 22% compared to single-belt systems, with a maximum incline of 18°.
Operational Flexibility
-
Rapid deployment:
With self-contained hydraulic leveling and auto-anchoring systems, the mobile shiploader transitions from transport mode to operational readiness in minutes. Its 15m minimum turning radius accommodates both retrofitted terminals and automated greenfield ports, cutting deployment time by 65%.
Intelligent Control
-
IoT remote monitoring:
5G-enabled 3D trajectory visualization and blockage prediction algorithms (pressure/vibration sensor fusion) reduce unplanned downtime to 0.7 incidents/1,000 hours. -
Energy optimization:
IPAS (Intelligent Power Allocation System) dynamically adjusts motor speed, achieving 0.18 kWh/ton for low-density PKS – 19% more efficient than mechanical drives.

Applications & Case Studies
Key Applications
-
PKS Export Terminal Operations:
Closed conveyor galleries with negative-pressure dust control (≤5 mg/m³) comply with EU IPPC standards. Adjustable booms (12-28m span) suit Southeast Asia’s Handysize bulk carriers (30,000-50,000 DWT). -
Barge Loading for Biomass Plants:
Tire-mounted chassis enables agile transfer of fuel-grade PKE (moisture ≤15%) between barges and stockpiles in tidal estuaries, preventing calorific value loss from material stratification.
Tanjung Priok Port Case (Indonesia)
- Efficiency: PKE handling capacity surged from 3,200 to 5,000 TPH, reducing vessel turnaround from 15 to 9.6 hours.
- Sustainability: Annual reductions of 180,000L diesel consumption and 142t CO₂ emissions.
- ROI: 8-month payback through demurrage savings ($12,000/day) and labor optimization.
