ZOOMRY's engineering team has recently achieved a milestone delivery in Africa – the ZRSL series mobile ship loaders passed acceptance with "zero-defect" certification and commenced 24/7 continuous operations. With a peak handling capacity of 8,400 tons/hour, the equipment has set new regional efficiency benchmarks for bulk cargo operations while successfully addressing core challenges including limited port space, diverse vessel types, and highly corrosive environments. This technological advancement establishes a solid foundation for the client to achieve its phased target of 30% annual throughput growth.
Technological Innovation & Core Advantages
24/7 High-Intensity Operations
Designed for African ports' round-the-clock operational demands, the ZRSL-60 mobile ship loader features dual diesel/electric drive modes with an intelligent energy management system, ensuring stable performance under extreme temperatures up to 45°C. The 1,600mm super-wide Conveyor Belt incorporates nano anti-adhesion coating technology, working in tandem with fully enclosed chutes and pulse dust removal systems to achieve material loss rates below 0.5% and maintain PM2.5 concentrations under 5μg/m³ at operating areas.
Unparalleled Mobility
Through innovative integration of hydraulic-driven chassis and multi-joint telescopic arms, the equipment achieves 360° omnidirectional movement with a minimum turning radius of 3.5m, enabling cross-berth transfers within 12 hours. The 65-meter adjustable boom accommodates vessels from 150,000 to 200,000 DWT, while ±5cm positioning accuracy significantly improves vessel turnaround efficiency.
Intelligent Remote Monitoring
The ZRSL-60 mobile ship loader is equipped with a 5G-satellite dual-channel monitoring platform that collects 132 real-time operational parameters. This system enables intelligent lubrication management and critical component lifespan prediction. Supported by localized spare parts depots and AR-assisted remote guidance, mean time to repair (MTTR) has been reduced to 2.5 hours, achieving an exceptional 98% comprehensive equipment utilization rate.
Key Parameter Summary
Key Technical Indicators | Performance Parameters |
---|---|
Continuous Operation Capability | 30-day maintenance-free operation |
Energy Efficiency | 2.3kWh/1,000 ton-kilometers |
Environmental Resilience | Stable operation under Beaufort 8 winds |
Transfer Efficiency | 4-hour berth switching |
Projected Operational Benefits
The deployment of ZRSL-60 mobile ship loaders is expected to reduce single-vessel loading time by 40% and increase berth utilization by 60%, accelerating the port's progress toward its annual 1.5 million-ton iron ore handling target by six months. The rapid transfer capability eliminates the need for three fixed ship loaders, directly saving over $12 million in equipment investment.
The modular design reduces component replacement time by 70%, while ZOOMRY's proprietary lubrication wear warning system reduces preventive maintenance costs by 45%. The energy recovery unit generates 180,000 kWh of auxiliary power annually, coupled with 95% material recyclability, achieving a 42% reduction in full lifecycle carbon footprint.
Following project implementation, Port Operations Manager Carlos Silva commented: "Traditional fixed ship loaders required three days to complete vessel loading tasks – now achievable within 18 hours. Most remarkably, the equipment demonstrated a 98.7% comprehensive utilization rate during trial operations."
